Lubrication

The following recommended lubrication schedules are based on light-to-medium usage. Keeping in mind that lubrication helps to protect the value and operation of the lathe, these lubrication tasks may need to be performed more frequently than recommended here, depending on usage.

Failure to follow reasonable lubrication practices as instructed in this manual could lead to premature failure of lathe components, which will not be covered under warranty.

The headstock lubrication consists of an electric oil pump, low pressure kill switch, holding tank, oil lines, and distribution manifold. The distribution manifold directs a series of oil lines to key locations, to ensure that they remain well lubricated during operation.

The oil pump automatically turns ON and sends oil to the headstock components when the main power switch is turned ON and the STOP button is reset. This allows the headstock components to be fully lubricated before the spindle is started to protect the gears and spindle bearings against potential damage from dry starts.

Checking & Adding Oil

The sight glass on the side of the headstock oil tank (see Figure 97) shows the oil level and temperature—the bottom line represents the minimum oil level and the top line represents the maximum oil level. The lathe must be powered down with the STOP button to get an accurate reading on the oil level.

When the oil level approaches the minimum line, add enough oil to bring it up to the maximum line.

Monitoring Oil Temperature

During operations, regularly monitor the oil temperature shown in the sight glass in Figure 97. The temperature of the headstock oil must remain under 170° F or the oil will start to overheat and break down, causing it to lose its lubrication properties.

Under normal conditions, the oil should not reach 170° F; however, if it does, shut down the machine and allow the oil to cool. Investigate why the oil is getting excessively hot. Possibilities may be poor ventilation, excessive work loads, poor oil quality, oil is breaking down (losing lubricity) due to long term use, or extreme work site temperatures.

Correct the conditions causing the oil to get hot. If the oil is old or you suspect it is of poor quality, change it. If the work loads or working environment are extreme, reduce the duty cycle of the lathe to allow the oil to cool down when it gets hot.

If the oil temperature ever exceeds 170° F, change it to make sure the spindle bearings have high quality lubrication.
