Annually or When Changing

The end gears, shown in Figure 109, should always have a thin coat of heavy grease to minimize corrosion, noise, and wear. Wipe away excess grease that could be thrown onto the V-belts and reduce optimal power transmission from the motor.

Handling & Care

Make sure to clean and lubricate any gears you install or change. Be very careful during handling and storage—the grease coating on the gears will easily pickup dirt or debris, which can then spread to the other gears and increase the rate of wear.

Make sure the end gear cover remains installed whenever possible to keep the gears free of dust or debris from the outside environment.

Lubricating

1.DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!

2.Remove the end gear cover and all the end gears shown in Figure 109.

3.Clean the end gears thoroughly with mineral spirits to remove the old grease. Use a small brush if necessary to clean between the teeth.

4.Clean the shafts, and wipe away any grease splatters in the vicinity and on the inside of the end gear cover.

5.Using a clean brush, apply a thin layer of grease on the gears. Make sure to get grease between the gear teeth, but do not fill the teeth valleys.

6.Install the end gears and mesh them together with an approximate 0.002" backlash. Once the gears are meshed together, apply a small dab of grease between them where they mesh together— this grease will be distributed when the gears rotate and re-coat any areas scraped off during installation.

7.Re-install the end gear cover before re- connecting the lathe to power.
