Your lathe was lubricated at the factory, but
we strongly recommend that you inspect all
lubrication points yourself and provide additional
lubrication if necessary. Refer to Lubrication on
Page 52 for specific details.
Initial Lubrication
GEARBOXES MUST
BE FILLED WITH OIL!
OIL MAY NOT BE
SHIPPED WITH MACHINE!
Refer to Lubrication Section
for Correct Oil Type.
The headstock and quick-change gearbox must
have the proper amount of oil in them before the
lathe can be operated for the first time.
Damage caused to the bearings and gears from
running the lathe without oil in the reservoirs
will not be covered under warranty. Refer to the
Lubrication section, beginning on Page 52, for
details on how to check and add oil.
In addition to checking the oil level in the
reservoirs, we also recommend that you lubricate
all other points on the lathe at this time. The
section on Lubrication points out each of the
oiling mechanisms on this lathe.
Note:
If this lathe was shipped with oil in the
reservoirs, do not change that oil until after the
test run and spindle break-in procedures.
