4.
Thoroughly clean all unpainted, bare metal
surfaces, then apply a liberal coat of way
oil, heavy grease, or rust preventative. Take
care to ensure these surfaces are completely
covered but that rust preventative or grease
is kept off of painted surfaces.
5.
Lubricate machine as outlined in lubrication
section. Be sure to use an oil can to purge all
ball oilers and oil passages with fresh oil.
6.
Loosen or remove V-belts so they do not
become stretched during storage period.
IMPORTANT
: Be sure to place a maintenance
note near power button as a reminder that
belts have been loosened or removed.
7.
Place a few moisture-absorbing desiccant
packs inside of electrical box.
8.
Cover lathe with sheet plastic or tarp and
place it in a dry area that is out of direct
sunlight and away from hazardous fumes,
paint, solvents, or gas. Fumes and sunlight
can bleach or discolor paint and make chuck
guard cloudy.
9.
Every six months, rotate by hand all gear-
driven components a few times in several
gear selections. This will keep bearings,
bushings, gears, and shafts well lubricated
and protected from corrosion—especially
during winter months.
10.
Slide carriage, tailstock, and steady rest
down lathe bed to make sure that way
spotting is not beginning to occur.
8.
Re-install pump and access plate.
Tip:
Leave one or more magnets at bottom
of reservoir to collect metal chips and make
cleanup easier next time. This will also help
keep small metal chips out of pump.
9.
Install new coolant and reservoir access
plate.
10.
Connect lathe to power and point nozzle into
chip tray.
Machine Storage
To prevent the development of rust and
corrosion, the lathe must be properly prepared
if it will be stored for a long period of time.
Doing this will ensure the lathe remains in good
condition for later use.
