It is necessary to keep each moving part of the machine
well lubricated.
Fig 29
Headstock Lubrication:
An oil pump (Fig 30) is driven by the pulley axle.
The oil goes through a filter and then to the pump, gears,
clutches and bearings inside the headstock (Fig 31)
The working condition of the oil pump can be observed
through the oil glass in the front of the headstock.
The oil level can be observed from the oil indicator
behind the headstock.
