Vertical Mill 40-Taper Transmission Oil Replacement
There is no visible indicator for the level of transmission oil in the VF 1-6/40T models.
To add transmission oil, remove the access panel located directly behind the spindle head. This will expose the
Transmission Oil Overflow Pipe. Place a container on the table, beneath this outlet. Manually jog the Z axis to its
full -Z travel. Power down the machine. Locate the transmission oil fill cup, accessed from the top of the motor
housing. There is a cut-out provided in the top of the motor housing sheetmetal for filling. Slowly pour in Mobil DTE
25 oil until oil starts to come out of the overflow pipe; this overflow indicates the reservoir is full. Close the transmis-
sion oil fill cup, wipe off the overflow pipe and replace the access cover. Consider any overflow oil to be used and
dispose of properly.

Oil Change
1. Remove the sheet metal from the spindle head.
2. Remove the encoder and the encoder mounting plate.
3. Remove the oil drain plug. When the oil drains, check the magnet for metal particles.
4. Replace the oil drain plug and fill the gear case with 1¼ liters of Mobil DTE 25 gear oil at the fill cup on top.
5. Replace the oil overflow plug, put a small amount of thread sealant on the threads. (Do not use thread locking
compound) install encoder and insure that the spindle orientation is correct.
6. Install the sheet metal and run a spindle warm up and check for leaks.
