SAFETY RULES
CAUTION
THIS SAFETY SYMBOL INDICATES YOUR PERSONAL SAFETY IS INVOLVED.
TO PREVENT PERSONAL INJURY:
- All power sources to the machine MUST be TURNED OFF before threading, oiling, adjusting or replacing
parts.
- Wear safety glasses.
- All shields and guards MUST be in position before operating machine.
- DO NOT tamper with safety shields, guards, etc., while machine is in operation.
LUBRICATION
Use a straight mineral oil with a Saybolt viscosity of 90 to 125 seconds at 100 degrees F. This is equivalent
to UNION SPECIAL Specification No. 175.
Before operating, fill machine with oil at plug screw (A, Fig. 2).
While filling machine with oil, check gauge (B). When proper
oil level is reached, the oil level should appear in the center
between the two red lines on gauge (B). It is recommended to
always check oil level before operating to be sure machine is
filled between the lines. CAUTION: DO NOT over fill machine.
To drain oil, remove plug screw, at right, in front, below
handwheel or lower crank chamber cover on back of ma-
chine. Oil must be changed every 2000 operating hours to
minimize wear.
On new machines, or a machine out of service for an ex-
tended period of time; lubricate machine as follows:
Remove head cover, clean out lint, then directly oil needle
bar link and needle bar. Replace head cover and fill ma-
chine with oil to proper level. Run machine at low RPM to
ensure proper lubrication of components preventing any
damage which may occur from lack of oil distribution.
