Grizzly G0740 owner manual Power Feed Controls

If the spindle is rotating when attempting to change the configuration of the headstock feed controls, the gears in the headstock and quick-change gearbox will become damaged! ALWAYS make sure the spindle is completely stopped BEFORE using the headstock control levers to make changes.

Use Figures 72–73and the following descriptions to become familiar with the locations and func- tions of the controls that you will use to set up the correct power feed for your operation.

Note: Before using power feed, you may have to re-configure the end gears, depending on how they are set up. Refer to End Gears on Page 55 for detailed instructions.

Even though there is a lock-out device in the apron to prevent the feed selection lever and the half nut lever from being engaged at the same time, this lock-out device could break if forced. Attempting to engage these levers at the same time could cause severe lathe damage and will void the warranty.
