OVERHEATING
A new or rebuilt Chuck/Changer
will normally run quite warm (very
uncomfortable to the touch) during
the break in period. The break in
period will usually last several
weeks depending upon speed and
amount of use. Worn collects, collets
not screwed in all the way or too
long a stop will cause overheating,
especially in the front portion of the
Chuck/Changer.
REMOVE CHUCK FROM LATHE
Always move handle straight down
(6:00 o’clock) and leave it in this
position if you have any reason to
remove the chuck from the lathe.
If handle is moved, the clutch
spring may be damaged or clutch
spring tension may be released.
When clutch spring is damaged
or tension released clutch will not
engage properly. See instructions
under Clutch Spring Adjustment and
replacing clutch spring. Normally
it is not necessary to remove the
adapter or clutch from the lathe
when you return the chuck to the
factory for repair. If it is necessary
to remove adapter or clutch refer
to the installation instruc tions for
your particular model lathe. Serious
damage to clutch or adapter will
result if instructions are not followed.
SQUEAKING CLUTCHES
After several months of service,
a clutch may glaze and develop a
squeak. The squeak is usually most
noticeable as the lathe is coasting
to a stop. Remove chuck from lathe
(see instructions under removing
chuck from lathe) and lightly sand
both fiber and steel clutch surfaces.
If squeaking persists and there is
a presence of excessive amounts
of dust around the clutch area, the
adapter is improperly mounted,
causing misalignment of the clutches.
Refer to installation instructions for
your model lathe.
