Draining Oil & Flushing Reservoir

Since the apron oil reservoir supplies the one- shot oiler, the oil is constantly being refreshed when the reservoir is filled. However, small metal particles may accumulate at the bottom of the reservoir with normal use. Therefore, to keep the reservoir clean, drain and flush it at least once a year.

Place a catch pan under the apron drain plug shown in Figure 104, loosen the fill plug, then use a 5mm hex wrench to remove the drain plug and empty the reservoir.

Drain Plug

Flush the reservoir by pouring a small amount of clean oil into the fill hole and allowing it to drain out the bottom.

Replace the drain plug, add oil as previously described.

One-Shot Oiler

The one-shot oiler shown in Figure 105 lubricates the saddle ways with oil from the apron reservoir.

To use the one-shot oiler, pull the pump knob out for two or three seconds and then push it in. The pump draws oil from the apron reservoir and then forces it through drilled passages to the carriage ways.

Repeat this process while moving the carriage and cross slide through their full range of move- ment to distribute oil along the ways.

Lubricate the ways before and after operating the lathe. If the lathe is in a moist or dirty environment, increase the lubrication interval.

Check the apron oil level through the sight glass before using the one-shot oiler to make sure the reservoir has enough oil.
