Manual Lubrication Pushbutton
The manual lubrication pushbutton is used to forcibly supply lubricating oil to the slideways
manually after the machine has been stopped for a long period or when manual lubricating oil feed
is necessary.
If the machine has been stopped for a day or longer, press the manual lubrication
pushbutton to forcibly supply lubricating oil to the slideways. If the machine is stopped
for a day or longer, the oil film on the slideways may be lost. If the machine is started in
this condition the slideways and ball screws will be worn and might seize.
Hold down the pushbutton to supply lubricating oil to the
slideways.
The type and installation position of the lubrication
unit varies depending on the machine model.
For details, refer to the DRAWINGS.
In order to protect the lubrication pump motor,
do not hold down the manual lubrication
pushbutton for longer than one minute when
supplying lubricating oil to the slideways
manually. If the pushbutton is held down for
longer than a minute, the lubrication pump
motor may fail.
