Preparing Lathe for Storage

1.DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!

2.Thoroughly clean all unpainted, bare metal surfaces, then apply a liberal coat of way oil, heavy grease, or rust preventative. Take care to ensure these surfaces are completely cov- ered but that the rust preventative or grease is kept off of painted surfaces.

3.Lubricate machine as outlined in lubrication section. Be sure to use an oil can to purge all ball oilers and oil passages with fresh oil.

4.Place a few moisture absorbing desiccant packs inside of the electrical box.

5.Cover lathe and place it in a dry area that is out of direct sunlight and away from hazard- ous fumes, paint, solvents, or gas. Fumes and sunlight can bleach or discolor paint.

6.Every few months, rotate by hand all gear- driven components a few times in several gear selections. This will keep bearings, bushings, gears, and shafts well lubricated and protected from corrosion—especially during winter months.

Slide carriage, tailstock, and steady rest down lathe bed to make sure that way spot- ting is not beginning to occur.

Bringing Lathe Out of Storage

1.Remove moisture-absorbing desiccant packs from electrical box.

2.Repeat Test Run and Spindle Break-Inpro- cedures, beginning on Page 21.
