9.Slide the tank partially into the base and re- connect the fluid hose.

Tip: Leave one or more magnets at the bottom of the tank to collect metal chips and make cleanup easier next time. This will also help keep small metal chips out of the pump.

10.Refill the tank with new coolant, then slide it completely into the base.

11.Replace the access cover panel.

12.Re-connect the lathe to power and point the nozzle into the chip drawer.

13.Turn the master power switch ON, then reset the STOP button.

14.Turn the coolant pump ON to verify that fluid cycles properly, then turn it OFF.

Machine Storage

To prevent the development of rust and corrosion, the lathe must be properly prepared if it will be stored for a long period of time. Doing this will ensure the lathe remains in good condition for later use.

To prepare the lathe for storage:

1.Run the lathe and bring all gearboxes to operating temperature, then drain and refill them with clean oil.

2.Pump out the old coolant, then add a few drops of way oil and blow out the lines with compressed air.

3.DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!

4.Thoroughly clean all unpainted, bare metal surfaces, then apply a liberal coat of way oil, heavy grease, or rust preventative. Take care to ensure these surfaces are completely covered but that the rust preventative or grease is kept off of painted surfaces.

5.Lubricate the machine as outlined in the lubrication section. Be sure to use an oil can to purge all ball oilers and oil passages with fresh oil.

6.Loosen or remove the V-belts so they do not become stretched during the storage period. (Be sure to place a maintenance note near the power button as a reminder that the belts have been loosened or removed.)

7.Place a few moisture absorbing desiccant packs inside of the electrical box.

8.Cover the lathe and place it in a dry area that is out of direct sunlight and away from hazardous fumes, paint, solvents, or gas. Fumes and sunlight can bleach or discolor paint and make the chuck guard cloudy.

9.Every few months, rotate by hand all gear- driven components a few times in several gear selections. This will keep the bearings, bushings, gears, and shafts well lubricated and protected from corrosion—especially during the winter months.

Slide the carriage, micrometer stop, tailstock, and steady rest down the lathe bed to make sure that way spotting is not beginning to occur.
