Grizzly g0746, g0749 Machine Storage, Preparing Lathe for Storage, Bringing Lathe Out of Storage

8.Slide the tank partially into the base and insert the drain tube into the tank if it came out earlier.

Tip: Leave one or more magnets at the bot- tom 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.

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

10.replace the access cover panel.

11.re-connect the lathe to power and point the nozzle into the chip drawer.

12.reset the EMERGENCY STOP button.

13.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.

Preparing Lathe for Storage

1.Run the lathe and bring all reservoirs to oper- ating 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 cov- ered 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 haz- ardous fumes, paint, solvents, or gas. Fumes and sunlight can bleach or discolor paint.

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.

Bringing Lathe Out of Storage

1.Re-install the V-belts and re-tension them (refer to Page 81) if you removed them for storage purposes.

2.remove the moisture-absorbing desiccant packs from the electrical box.

3.repeat the Test Run and Spindle Break-Inprocedures, beginning on Page 31.

4.add coolant, as described in Coolant System Service on Page 73.
