LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE
Daily

Check daily for any unsafe conditions and fix immediately.

Check that all nuts and bolts are properly tightened.
Weekly

Clean the machine and the area around it.

Lubricate threaded components and sliding devices.

Apply rust inhibitive lubricant to all non-painted surfaces.

Check periodically for leaks. If a leak is detected, stop operation and repair the leak. On very
hot days, gear oil may drip from the breather; this is normal expansion of the oil.

Be sure to keep the slide blocks and lead screw lubricated with light hydraulic oil or
equivalent.

Check for any worn or damaged parts and replace immediately.
Quarterly

There are two grease zerks on the machine that feed the main spindle bearing. Grease
these zerks every three months with 3 - 4 pumps from a standard grease gun.
Note: Proper maintenance can increase the life expectancy of your machine.
Gear Box Oil
The main Planetary Gear Box is lubed with 80W90 gear lube. Check and replace the gear lube
every 3 years or 200hrs of continuous use.
WARNING:
Make sure the electrical disconnect is OFF before working on
the machine.
Maintenance should be performed on a regular basis by qualified personnel.
Always follow proper safety precautions when working on or around any machinery.
