Machine Storage

If the machine is not properly prepared for storage, it may develop rust or corrosion. If decommissioning this machine, use the steps in this section to ensure that it remains in good condition for later use.

To prepare your machine for short-term storage (up to a year):

1.Pump out the old cutting fluid, and flush the lines and tank with warm, soapy water.

2.DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!

3.Thoroughly clean all unpainted, bare metal surfaces, then apply a liberal coat of way oil.

4.Lubricate the machine as outlined in the lubrication section.

5.Cover and place the machine in a dry area that is out of direct sunlight and away from hazardous fumes, paint, solvents, or gas. Fumes and sunlight can bleach or discolor paint and make plastic guards cloudy.

6.Once or twice a month, depending on the ambient humidity levels in the storage environment, wipe down the machine as outlined in Step 3.

7.Every few months, start the machine and run all gear-driven components for a few minutes. This will keep the bearings, bushings, gears, and shafts well lubricated and protected from corrosion, especially during the winter months.

To prepare your machine for long-term storage (a year or more):

1.Run the lathe for 10 minutes to bring the gearboxes to operating temperature, then drain and refill the all gearboxes with fresh oil.

Note: During extended storage (more than two years), any component above the oil level may rust from condensation. We recommend overfilling any sealed gearbox. However, over time there will be some seepage around some shafts and seals. If any gearbox is overfilled make sure to put a tag on the controls as

a reminder for the maintenance person to correct the oil level before starting the machine. If a gearbox cannot be overfilled, every few months manually rotate the shaft or spindle to coat any exposed gears with oil.

2.Pump out the old cutting fluid, and flush the lines and tank with warm, soapy water.

3.DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!

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

5.Lubricate the machine as outlined in the lubrication section.

6.Loosen or remove machine belts so they do not become stretched during the storage period. (Be sure to also affix a maintenance note near the power button as a reminder that the belts have been loosened or removed.)

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

8.Cover and place the machine in a dry area that is out of direct sunlight and away from hazardous fumes, paint, solvents, or gas. Fumes and sunlight can bleach or discolor paint and make plastic guards cloudy.

The grease trough and easy-to-clean design contribute to the overall efficiency of the kitchen.

In addition to its cooking surfaces, the SB1012 features a spacious oven compartment, designed to accommodate larger pans and dishes. With a temperature range that typically goes up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, the oven is ideal for baking, roasting, and other cooking techniques that require precise temperature control. The inclusion of a built-in temperature gauge helps chefs monitor cooking conditions at a glance.

Durability is a hallmark of the Southbend SB1012. The range is constructed from heavy-duty stainless steel, which not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also ensures resistance to wear and tear in a busy kitchen environment.
