3.Inspect the level and quality of the coolant.

—If the level of the coolant is below approxi- mately 2" from the top, add coolant.

—Use a flashlight and inspect the level of swarf inside the first chamber of the tank. If the swarf level is beyond 3⁄4 the height of the partition wall, then the tank must be cleaned (see the illustration in Figure 84).

—If the coolant smells rancid or is very cloudy, it is contaminated and will need to be replaced.

4.Make sure the tank is positioned all the way to the left underneath the drain chute, then re-install the access panel before resuming operations.

The coolant tank on this lathe is designed to store only coolant. During storage some flu- ids grow dangerous microbes, or, due to the collection of toxic metal chips in the fluid, the fluid can become a potent and extremely poisonous solution to humans and animals.

Use the correct personal protection equip- ment when handling coolant to prevent infections and poisoning.

Follow Federal, State, and the coolant manu- facturer's requirements to properly dispose of used coolant.

Cleaning Coolant Tank

The coolant tank of your lathe holds approximately three gallons of coolant.

Replace the coolant every 30 days or sooner if it gives off a foul odor, which is due to the growth of dangerous microbes.
