Place the drive belt around the inside core of the
platter, as shown in the illustration.
Draw the drive belt through the large opening in the
platter and onto the top surface. Hold it in that posi-
tion with one finger.
Hold the platter exactly horizontal, and carefully
lower it vertically onto the pivot shaft.
Rotate the platter gently and press it down using no
more than light pressure until it seats correctly. The
platter will slowly sink down the bearing. This will last
a certain period of time (up to 30 min.).
Lay the drive belt round the drive pulley, working
through the platter opening.
If the platter does not seat fully, wait for it to settle
onto the bearing ball. This may take some time, as
the oil has to be pushed up through the very narrow
bearing clearance gap.
check that it can be rotated easily by hand.
