Lubricating Lathe

GEARBOXES MUST

BE FILLED WITH OIL!

OIL MAY NOT BE

SHIPPED WITH MACHINE!

Refer to Lubrication Section

for Correct Oil Type.

The headstock, quick-change gearbox, and apron oil reservoirs must have the proper amount of oil in them before the lathe can be operated for the first time.

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 66, for details on how to check, add oil, and prime the headstock oil pump.
