Basic Lubrication

If this machine is used in a heavy industrial setting, or in a dirty or damp environment, increase the oil-change intervals.

If the machine is new or being put back into service from storage, you must first to flush the lubrication system with ATF Dextron II. Run the pump for 5-10 minutes, and move all handwheels through their full range of motion as the high detergent oil breaks down and flushes away storage grease from the bearings, ways, and galleys. When finished, drain and refill the oil system, and conduct a test run as outlined in this manual.

To lubricate your machine:

1.Read and take the appropriate safety measures covered in this manual.

2.Remove the screws and the left-side cabinet access plate, and fill the oil reservoir or replace the oil if it is dirty (see Figure 44).

Figure 44. Lubrication pump and reservoir.

3.Make sure the pinion gears and leadscrew (Figure 45) are wet with oil.
