Grizzly G4015Z owner manual Maintenance, Lubrication

SECTION 10: MAINTENANCE

Disconnect power to the machine when perform- ing any adjustments or maintenance. Failure to do this may result in seri- ous personal injury.

Lubrication

Your Model G4015Z will function best when it is clean and well lubricated. Take the time to wipe down and oil the machine before each use. We recommend using ISO 68 or SAE 20W non- detergent oil unless otherwise specified. Ball fit- tings will require the use of an oil gun. Depress the ball with the tip of the gun and squirt a little oil under pressure. Make sure to clean the machine after each use.

Apron and Cross slide - Apply lubrication directly to the dovetail ways of the apron and cross slide.

Figure 51. Oil ports indicated by arrows.

Compound - This slide is supplied with ball fit- tings on its top surface and should be oiled at the same time as the apron. See Figure 51.

External Gearing - Apply only a minimal amount of oil to the teeth of the end gears after assembly or each day. Avoid getting oil on the belt or pulleys when lubricating.

Remove the gear indicated by the arrow in Figure 52, and apply a few drops of oil to the bushing once a day.

Bearings - Lubrication for the bearings occurs as the machine runs and oil circulates from the gear box. However, the bearings should be lubri- cated through the ball fittings indicated by the arrows in Figure 53. Apply oil every 3 hours of actual use and just before starting the machine each day.
