Lubrication
Use the information in the charts below as a daily guide for lubrication tasks. We recommend using Grizzly T23962 (ISo 68) or T23963 (ISo 32) lubri- cants (see Accessories, Page 64) for most of the lubrication tasks.

NOTICE
The recommended lubrication is based on
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. Change the oil after the first 300 hours of use, then every 1000 hours.
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 111.
