13.Observe the oil pump tube through the sight glass (Figure 25). Verify that you see oil flowing.
Note: This headstock has a pressurized oil system that is equipped with an oil pressure safety switch. If oil stops flowing or does not flow to start with, the lathe will not operate until the oil is properly flowing. Refer to Troubleshooting to correct.
Never bypass the oil pressure safety switch! If you do, you will void the warranty, and headstock damage may occur.
