Oil Change
If you suspect that the bearing housing oil is contaminated, or that incorrect
oil has been used, change the oil as follows:
1. Clean out the old oil using one of the following methods:
a. use plastic syringe to suck out oil.
b. use paper tissues or cotton buds to mop up oil from bearing housing.
c. drain oil by turning turntable upside down over old cloth/tissue.
Use cotton buds to clean out residue.
Remove any foreign matter in bearing housing, if found.
Do not use any solvent as you may damage the liner material.
2. Replenish with new oil. Use approx. 50 drops Linn Oil.
*Note: Use Linn gold coloured oil for gold coloured bearing housings.
(Velocite 6 or equivalent).
