7.Pour the remaining coolant into a 5-gallon bucket and close the lid.

8.Clean all the sludge out of the bottom of the tank and then flush it clean. Use the second bucket to hold the waste and make sure to seal the lid closed when done.

Dispose of the old coolant and swarf according to federal, state, and fluid manufacturer's requirements.

9.Slide the tank partially into the base and re- connect the fluid hose (if removed).

Tip: Leave one or more magnets at the bottom of the tank to collect metal chips and make cleanup easier next time. This will also help keep small metal chips out of the pump.

10.Refill the tank with new coolant, then slide it completely into the base.

11.Replace the vented cover panel.

12.Connect the lathe to power and point the nozzle into the chip drawer.

13.Turn the coolant pump ON to verify that fluid cycles properly, then turn it OFF.

Machine Storage

To prevent the development of rust and corrosion, the lathe must be properly prepared if it will be stored for a long period of time. Doing this will ensure the lathe remains in good condition for later use.

To prepare the lathe for short-term storage (up to one year):

1.Pump out the old coolant, and remove and blow out the lines with compressed air and a few drops of way oil.

2.DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!

3.Thoroughly clean all unpainted, bare metal surfaces, then apply a liberal coat of way oil.

4.Lubricate the machine as outlined in the lubrication section. Be sure to use the oil gun to purge all ball oilers and oil passages with fresh oil.

5.Cover the lathe and place it in a dry area that is out of direct sunlight and away from hazardous fumes, paint, solvents, or gas. Fumes and sunlight can bleach or discolor paint and make the chuck guard cloudy.

6.Once or twice a month, depending on the ambient humidity levels in the storage environment, wipe down the machine as outlined in Step 3. Slide the carriage, micrometer stop, tailstock, and steady rest down the lathe bed to make sure that way spotting is not beginning to occur.

7.Every few months, rotate all gear-driven components by hand a few times in several gear selections. This will keep the bearings, bushings, gears, and shafts well lubricated and protected from corrosion—especially during the winter months.
