6-1 Lubrication in headstock
An oil-splash feed is utilized in the lubrication system of Headstock. On top of the
Headstock there grooves surrounded providing lubricant flow into the spindle bearing
along the groove, then finally flow down on the bottom of the box. When supplying
the lubricant, remove the cap of oil sight glass. To drain the waste oils away, a drainer
hole located in the right side downward of the Headstock.
Please take good care of checking whether the Headstock has been filled up with
lubricant or not when you purchase the machine. If negative, use as show in the figure
(6-4) lubricating oil. We request you to change the lubricant at first month and then do
once every two months so to assure the gears are working in the best conditions.
6-2 Lubricating in Gear Box and Apron

recommended the lubricant to be changed every six months.
2) Apron is also oil-bathed. If the oil quantity in Apron is lower than center level of oil
sight glass, then it is time to add up some oil to standard level.
