4. UNPACKING
AND
INSTALLATION
4-1. Unpacking
Unload the machine with a tackle, using clamping plates and eyebolts. Keep the machine in balance by
moving the tailstock and the bed slide to the right. Avoid using sling chains as they could damage to
feed rod and leadscrew. Lift the lathe carefully and place it softly into the floor or workbench.
4-2 Cleaning
Before taking the machine into operation, using kerosene (paraffin) or white spirit to remove the
anti-corrosive coating or grease from all slideways and gear train. Don’t use lacquer thinner or other
caustic solvents. Oil all bright machine surfaces immediately after cleaning. Use heavy oil or grease on
the changes gears.
4-2. Installation
Place the lathe on a solid foundation. A
concrete floor is the best base for the machine.
(if necessary, use an under frame operational).
Make sure there is sufficient area around the
lathe for easy work and maintenance. Use a
precision level on the bedways to make further
adjustment for level condition, the tighten the
foundation bolts evenly and finally recheck for
level condition.
5. LUBRICATION
Before putting the lathe into operation, make the following lubrication check.
5-1. Headstock
The bearing of the headstock turns in an oil bath. Ensure that the oil level reaches three quarters of
the quarters of the oil gauge glass.
For exchanging the oil, remove the end cover and the change gears with swing frame. Drain off the
oil by removing the drain plug on the bottom of the headstock. To fill, take off the headstock cover.
Check the oil level regularly. The first oil change should be made after 3 month, then change it once
a year.
5-2. Gearbox
Remove the end cover to expose the filling plug. Through it the shell tellus 32 is filled to the oil level
in the oil gauge glass regularly. The first oil change should be made after three months, the change
it once a year.
5-3. Apron
The oil bath is filled with shell tellus 32 through the filling plug on the right side of the apron. Check
the oil level in the oil gauge glass on the front regular. The first oil change should be made after
three months, then change it once a year.
For exchanging the oil, drain away oil by taking off the drain plug on the bottom of the apron.
5-4. Change
gears
Lubricate the change gears with thick machine oil or grease once a month.
5-5. Other
parts
There are other lubricating points on the input shaft bracket of the gearbox, the handwheel on the
apron, the longitudinal and cross slide, the thread dial indicator, the tailstock and the bracket, use
the grease gun to put a few drops of oil from time to time. Lubricate the apron worm and worm gear,
half nut and leadscrew twice a month. Apply a light oil film to the bed way and all other bright parts
like the tailstock quill, feed rod ECT. Once a day.
