Verifying Oil Pump Operation

To prevent costly damage to the headstock gears and bearings, a kill switch will shut the lathe down if the oil pump stops working or the oil level is becomes too low. Verify the pump is working by looking at the sight glass shown in Figure 98. When working correctly, oil flows across the sight glass.

Changing Headstock Oil

To ensure proper lubrication of headstock gears and spindle bearings, the headstock oil must be changed and the oil system cleaned after the Spindle Break-In(refer to Page 28) and annually thereafter (or every six months with heavy service or extreme working conditions).

To change the headstock oil:

1.Run the lathe at a medium speed for at least 10 minutes to warm the headstock oil.

2.DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!

3.Put on safety goggles, rubber gloves, and a respirator to protect yourself from the contamination hazards of the oil.

4.Remove the side and rear motor access covers and the end gear cover.

5.Remove the three V-belts (refer to V-Beltson Page 77 for detailed instructions).

6.Remove the oil cap from the top of the headstock (see Figure 99). This allows the oil to flow freely from the headstock in the next step.

7.With the help of an assistant, hold the flexible oil funnel and hose under the headstock oil drain plug and point it into the catch pan as you remove the drain plug. This will remove the standing oil in the headstock.

Tip: To eliminate the need to remove the V-belts when repeating this procedure in the future, install a 12" pipe of appropriate length and a cap in the place of the headstock oil drain plug. Make sure this pipe will not interfere when re-attaching the end gear cover.
