In addition to the reservoirs, we also recommend that you lubricate all other points on the machine at this time. This can be accomplished by following the maintenance schedule on Page 66.

Note: If this lathe was shipped with oil in the reservoirs, do not change that oil until after the test run and spindle break-in procedures.

Adding Coolant

Add the coolant of your choice now. For detailed instructions on where the coolant tank is located and how to add fluid, refer to Coolant System Service on Page 75.

Power Connection

After you have completed all previous setup instructions and circuit requirements, the machine is ready to be connected to the power supply.

Due to the complexity required for planning, bending, and installing the conduit necessary for a code-compliant hardwire setup, an electrician or other qualified person MUST perform this type of installation.

Hardwire setups typically require power supply wires to be enclosed inside of a solid or flexible conduit, which is securely mounted at both ends with the appropriate conduit fittings. All work must adhere to the required electrical codes.

The hardwire setup must include a locking disconnect switch (see Figure 20) between the power source and the machine. This switch serves as the means to completely disconnect the machine from power to prevent electrocution from accidental startup during adjustments, maintenance, or service to the machine.
