Grizzly G0740 owner manual Lubrication Task Frequency

Lubrication

Use the schedule and information in the chart below as a daily guide for lubrication tasks. We recommend using Grizzly Model T23962 or T23963 lubricants (see Accessories, Page 62) for most of the lubrication tasks.

Lubrication Task	Frequency	Page
		Ref.
Headstock	Daily	66
Quick-Change Gearbox	Daily	67
Apron	Daily	67
One-Shot Oiler	As Needed	67
Longitudinal Leadscrew	Daily	68

NOTICE

The recommended lubrication is based on light-to-medium usage. Keeping in mind that lubrication helps to protect the value and operation of the lathe, these lubrication tasks may need to be performed more fre- quently than recommended here, depend- ing on usage.

Failure to follow reasonable lubrication practices as instructed in this manual could lead to premature failure of lathe compo- nents and will void the warranty.

The headstock gearing is lubricated by an oil bath that distributes the lubricant with the motion of the gears, much like an automotive manual transmis- sion.

Checking Oil Level

The headstock reservoir has the proper amount of oil when the oil level in the sight glass is approxi- mately halfway. The oil sight glass is located on the right side of the headstock, as shown in Figure 99.
