11.Using mineral spirits and rags, wipe down the inside of the tank including any baffles and screens until all are clean. Make sure to soak up any excess mineral spirits with dry rags, so it does not stay in the tank and contaminate the oil.
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.
12.Reinstall the access plate with a new gasket or silicone sealant.
13.Place the funnel in the fill spout and add the new oil. Refer to Page 66 for the recommended type and amount of oil to use.
14.Test pump operation, recheck the oil level, and reinstall the covers.
