16-Speed Gearhead Lathe

Lubrication

The following recommended lubrication schedules are based on light-to-medium usage. For heavy use, these lubrication tasks may need to be performed more frequently than recommended here.

Failure to follow reasonable lubrication practices as instructed in this manual could lead to premature failure of lathe components and will void the warranty.

The headstock gearing is lubricated by an oil bath that distributes the lubricant with the motion of the gears, much like an automotive manual transmission.

Checking Oil Level

The headstock has the proper amount of oil when the sight glass shown in Figure 106 is halfway full.

To change the headstock oil:

1.DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!

2.Remove the end gear cover.

3.Remove the fill cap on top of the headstock to allow the oil to drain more freely.

4.Place the catch pan under the headstock drain plug (see Figure 107), then remove the plug and allow all of the oil to drain out.

5.Replace the drain plug and clean up any oil that spilled.

Tip: To make this task easier in the future, replace the drain plug with a small pipe extension and cap. Make sure that this assembly does not interfere with properly securing the end gear cover.

6.Add oil to the headstock reservoir until the sight glass is halfway full.

7.Replace the end gear cover before re- connecting the power.
