Separate the turntable from the top of the record player by lifting straight up.

Step 2

Check the belt to see if it is off the motor or turntable. If the belt is damaged (tearing or lack of smoothness) replace the belt with a new one. If it is off track, realign accordingly.
Do not stretch the belt too far as it may break.

Once the belt is ready to go, re-wrap the belt around the turntable wheel and, keeping it around the wheel, wrap it around the motor (indicated by the red circle).
It may be helpful to lay the record player on its side to keep the belt wrapped around both the motor and the turntable wheel.
