Cleaning Pump System & Changing Oil

The headstock oil pump system must be cleaned and the oil changed after the break-in period and then annually (or every six months with hard service or extreme working conditions).

2.Remove the cap from the fill spout shown in Figure 110.

3.Place at least a 3-gallon drain pan under the tank and remove the drain plug to empty the oil into the pan.

4.Clean away any dust, debris, metal shavings, or grime from the access cover.

5.Using a 4mm hex wrench, remove the four access cover cap screws, then use the cap screw in the center as a handle and lift off the access cover.

6.Put on splash-proof safety glasses, rubber gloves, and a respirator rated for fumes.

7.Using mineral spirits and rags, wipe down the inside of the tank to clean it. Make sure to soak up any excess mineral spirits with a dry rag, so it does not stay in the tank.

8.After the tank is completely cleaned out, unthread the screen from the bottom of the pump suction pipe (see Figure 111), and remove the screen from the tank.

9.Clean the suction screen thoroughly with mineral spirits and compressed air.

10.Re-install the suction screen.

Tip: Consider placing one or two magnets at the bottom of the tank to collect any fine metal particles generated by the headstock drive train. This will make cleaning easier the next time around and ensure that more metal particles are kept out of the headstock oil.

11.Re-install the drain plug.

12.Refill the tank with oil (refer to Page 56 for the recommended type and amount of oil to use).

13.Replace the fill spout plug.
