CAUTION
To avoid damage to the machine, only use recommended
lubricants.
Boring bar/leadscrew
Clean the leadscrew and boring bar frequently during operation. Keep chips away from the
leadscrew threads. Lubricate the leadscrew periodically with light oil to ensure smooth travel of
the rotational drive assembly. Before storage, lightly oil the bar to prevent rusting. Lightly grease
the leadscrew. Do not grease areas where chips can accumulate in the oils.
Axial feed assembly
Under normal conditions, the axial feed assembly is maintenance-free.
Rotational drive assembly
Under normal use, change the drive oil in the rotational drive gearbox every 500 hours with Mobil
600W Super Cylinder Oil (AGMA 7 Compounded) or equivalent.
Do the following to fill the gear box:
1. Using the lifting eye, set the gearbox upright. Secure the rotational drive unit
so it cannot move.
2. Remove the fill plug and oil plug.
3. Fill the rotational drive until oil overflows the oil plug hole.
4. Replace the oil plug.
5. Add one more quart of oil through the fill plug hole.
