Coolant System
To maintain the coolant system, do these steps:
1.
DISCONNECT THE LATHE FROM POWER!
2.
Remove the drain plug from the tank, drain the
coolant out, and discard properly as hazardous
waste.
3.
Pull the clear plastic drain tube from the tank and
let it hang free (
Figure
59).
4.
Using a magnet, remove metal chips from the tank.
5.
Using a rag, remove remaining material from the
tank.
6.
Refill the tank with new coolant, and insert the clear
plastic drain tube back into the tank.
Failure to follow lubrication guidelines
will lead to rapid deterioration of
lathe components.
