17.Move the spindle ON/OFF lever to the OFF (middle) position, reset the STOP button by twisting it clockwise until it pops out, then restart spindle rotation.

18.Push the foot brake. The lathe should come to a quick stop.

If the brake pedal has no effect on the lathe, push the STOP button, and refer to the Brake & Switch subsection on Page 80 to make any required adjustments.

After verifying the brake works correctly, continue with the next step.

19.Move the spindle ON/OFF lever to the OFF (middle) position. Remove the lathe end gear cover. This trips a safety switch that should prevent the lathe from starting while the cover is removed.

20.Stand away from all the exposed gears on the side of the headstock, and attempt to start the lathe.

If the lathe starts with the end gear cover removed, the safety switch is not operating correctly. This safety feature must operate properly before continuing. Press the STOP button to turn the lathe OFF, disconnect the lathe from power, and call Tech Support for help.

21.Push the STOP button in, move the spindle ON/OFF lever to the OFF position, then replace the end gear cover.

22.Lift the chuck guard up—this will activate the chuck guard safety switch. Reset the STOP button and attempt to start the lathe.

If the lathe starts with the chuck guard in the up position, the safety switch is not operating correctly. This safety feature must operate properly before continuing. Press the STOP button to turn the lathe OFF, disconnect it from power, and call Tech Support for help.

23.Point the coolant nozzle down into the chip drawer and verify that there is coolant in the reservoir (refer to Coolant System Service on Page 72 for detailed instructions).

24.Re-start the lathe, use the coolant pump switch on the control panel to start the pump, then open the valve. Verify that the coolant flows from the nozzle, then close the valve and turn the pump OFF.

Congratulations! The test run is complete. Turn the lathe OFF and perform the Spindle Break- In procedure on the next page.

After the first 16 hours of use, the V-belts will stretch and seat into the pulley grooves. The V-belts must be properly re-tensioned after this period to avoid reducing their useful life. Refer to the V-Belts subsection on Page 80 for detailed instructions.
