To change the coolant:
1.
Position the coolant nozzle over the back of
the back splash so that it is pointing behind
the lathe.
2.
Place the 5-gallon bucket behind the lathe
and under the coolant nozzle. If you are
using the optional hose, connect it to the
nozzle and place it in the bucket. Otherwise,
you may need to have another person hold
the bucket up to the nozzle to prevent
coolant from splashing out.
3.
Turn the coolant pump
ON
and pump the
old fluid out of the reservoir. Turn the pump
OFF
immediately after the fluid stops
flowing.
Adding Fluid
1.
DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2.
Remove the vented access cover from the
rear of the right stand, then slide the tank
out, as shown in Figure 113.
Running the coolant pump without adequate
fluid in the tank may permanently damage it,
which will not be covered under warranty.
3.
Pour coolant into the tank until it is nearly
full.
4.
Slide the tank back into the cabinet and
replace the access cover.
Changing Coolant
When you replace the old coolant, take the time
to thoroughly clean out the chip drawer, catch
tray, and fluid tank. The entire job only takes
about a
1
⁄
2
hour when you are prepared with the
proper materials and tools. Make sure to dispose
of old fluid according to federal, state, and fluid
manufacturer's requirements.

DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
5.
Remove the vented access cover from the
rear of the right stand, then slide the tank
out.
6.
To enable the remaining fluid to be poured
out in the next step, disconnect the fluid hose
from the pump (see Figure 113).
Note:
The electrical conduit was purposely
left long, so the tank can be removed and
dumped out without disconnecting the wires
from the pump.
7.
Pour the remaining coolant into the 5-gallon
bucket and close the lid.
8.
Clean all the sludge out of the bottom of the
tank and then flush it clean. Use the second
bucket to hold the waste and make sure to
seal the lid closed when done.
Dispose of the old coolant and swarf
according to federal, state, and fluid
manufacturer's requirements.
