Tube Assembly
The draw tube assembly comes attached to the locking yoke and connecting rod. Remove the locking yoke and connecting rod by unscrewing the setscrews that connect the locking yoke to the bearing housing.
To install the draw tube assembly into your lathe:
1.Insert the draw tube assembly into the out- board spindle as shown in Figure 6. Slide the draw tube assembly all the way into the outboard spindle until it engages around the hub adapter.
2.Place the collet in the collet adapter, so the collet threads are exposed out of the back end of the collet adapter as shown in Figure 7.
