In addition to the gearboxes, we also recommend
that you lubricate all other points on the
machine at this time. This can be accomplished
by following the maintenance schedule on
Page
64
.
Note:
If your lathe was shipped with oil in the
gearboxes, do not change that oil until after the
break-in period.
Lubricating Lathe
GEARBOXES MUST

Adding Cutting Fluid
Add the cutting fluid of your choice now. For
detailed instructions on where the cutting fluid
tank is located and how to add fluid, refer to
Cutting Fluid System
on
Page 73
.
The headstock oil pump tank, gearbox, and apron
must have the proper amount and type of oil in
them before the lathe can be operated for the
first time.
Running the lathe without the required oil will
void the warranty. Refer to the
Lubrication
section, beginning on
Page 66
, for details on how
to check and add oil.
