and/or damage to the lathe!
Note: Before removing the chuck from the spindle, place a way board across the bedways under the chuck
1. Support the chuck while turning three camlocks 1/4 turn
2. Carefully remove the chuck from the spindle and place on an adequate work surface.
3. Inspect the camlock studs. Make sure they have not become cracked or broken during transit. Clean all parts thoroughly with solvent. Also clean the spindle and camlocks.
4. Cover all chuck jaws and scroll inside the chuck with Mobilith AW2. Cover the spindle, cam locks, and chuck body with a light film of Mobil DTE Oil Heavy Medium.
5.Lift the chuck up to the spindle nose and press onto the spindle. Tighten in place by turning the cam locks 1/4 turn clockwise. The index mark (A, Fig. 3) on the camlock should be between the two indictor arrows (B, Fig. 3). If the index mark is not between the two arrows, remove the chuck and adjust the camlock studs by either turning out one full turn (if cams will not engage) or turning in one full turn (if cams turn beyond indicator marks).
6.Install chuck and tighten in place.
