9.Verify that the machine is operating cor- rectly by moving the spindle lever down (see
Figure 13).
—When operating correctly, the machine runs smoothly with little or no vibration or rubbing noises.
—Investigate and correct strange or unusual noises or vibrations before operating the machine further. Always disconnect the machine from power when investigating or correcting potential problems.
10.With the spindle lever in the down position, verify that the spindle is rotating counter- clockwise (toward the operator).
—If the spindle is rotating clockwise (away from the operator) with the spindle lever in the down position, push the stop but- ton, disconnect the lathe from power, then verify that the motor is wired correctly (refer to the Motor wiring diagram on Page 70 for connection details). If the motor is wired correctly and the spindle does not rotate in the correct direction, call Tech Support for help.
11.Move the spindle lever to the center position to stop spindle rotation, then press the stop button in.
12.WITHOUT resetting the stop button, move the spindle lever down. The machine should not start.
—If the machine does not start, the stop but- ton safety feature is working correctly.
—If the machine does start (with the stop button pushed in), immediately disconnect power to the machine. The stop button safety feature is not working correctly. This safety feature must work properly before proceeding with regular operations. Call Tech Support for help.
13.Reset the stop button.

14.To make sure the coolant system is operat- ing correctly, point the coolant nozzle down toward the splash pan, then use the coolant switch and nozzle valve lever to start the flow of coolant.
15.Turn the coolant system OFF, then begin spindle rotation.
16.Step on the foot brake with moderate pres- sure. The lathe should shut OFF and the spindle should come to an immediate stop.
—If the machine does not turn OFF or the spindle does not come to a stop, imme- diately press the stop button and discon- nect power to the machine. The foot brake safety feature is not working correctly. This safety feature must work properly before proceeding with regular operations. Call Tech Support for help.
17.Move the spindle lever to the center position to reset the internal spindle switches, then press the stop button in.
18.Use a 5mm hex wrench to remove the three cap screws that secure the side door, then open the door approximately 1".
19.Stay clear of the door, reset the stop button, then attempt to start spindle rotation.
—If the spindle does not start, the side door safety switch is working correctly.
—If the spindle does start (with the side door open), immediately press the stop button and disconnect the machine from power. The side door safety feature is not working correctly. This safety feature must work properly before proceeding with regular operations. Call Tech Support for help.
20.Close the side door and secure it with the three cap screws.
After successfully completing the Test Run pro- cedure, proceed to Spindle Break-In.
