GEARBOXES MUST

BE FILLED WITH OIL!

MACHINE MAY NOT BE

SHIPPED WITH OIL!

Requires Oil

Before Operation

or Warranty Will

Be Void.

The headstock, gearbox, and apron oil reservoirs must have the proper amount of oil in them before the lathe can be operated.

Damage caused to the bearings and gears from running the lathe without oil in the reservoirs will not be covered under warranty. Refer to the Lubrication section, beginning on Page 67, for checking and adding oil.

In addition to the reservoirs, we also recommend that you lubricate all other points on the machine at this time. To do this, follow the steps provided in the maintenance schedule on Page 66.

Note: If this lathe was shipped with oil in the res- ervoirs, do not change that oil until after the Test Run and Spindle Break-Inprocedures.

Adding Coolant

Add the coolant of your choice now. For detailed instructions on where the coolant tank is located and how to add fluid, refer to Coolant System Service on Page 72.

Model G0746/G0749 (Mfg. Since 3/13)

Electrocution or fire may occur if machine is ungrounded, incorrectly connected to power, or connected to an undersized circuit. Use an electrician or a qualified service personnel to ensure a safe power connection.

Before the machine can be connected to the power source, an electrical circuit and connection device must be prepared according to the circuit requirements on the Page 18, and the machine must be completely setup and installed in its per- manent location.

Once the lathe is connected to the power supply, the disconnect switch that is installed by the elec- trician (as recommended) is the primary means for disconnecting or connecting the machine to the power source.

Note About Phase Converters: Due to the startup load from this machine, we do not recom- mend using a static phase converter to create 3-phase power—as it can quickly decrease the life of electrical components on this machine. If you must use a phase converter, only use a rotary phase converter. Only connect the manufactured leg or "wild wire" to the L3 terminal (see loca- tion in Figure 24 on Page 28). The L3 terminal can handle power fluctuation because it is wired directly to the motor.
