To change the oil in the reservoirs:
1. Run the lathe to bring the lathe gearboxes to a warm temperature and turn OFF the lathe.
2. Disconnect lathe From power!
3. Remove the headstock gear cover.
4. Using a funnel or cardboard ramp if desired to direct waste oil into the drain pan, position the drain pan under the
gearbox drain plug.
5. Remove the fill plug and the drain plug from the selected oil reservoir, and allow all oil to drain.
6. Re-install the drain plug; add oil to the reservoir until the sight glass reads full. Then reinstall the fill plug.
V-belt tension
After initial break in, the v-belts slightly stretch and seat into
the pulley. It is important to check and adjust them to
compensate for this initial wear. Check the tension thereafter
on a monthly basis.
To check the v-belt tension:
1. Disconnect lathe from power!
2. Open the headstock gear door.
3. Push the center of the v-belts with moderate pressure. The
v-belt deflection should be approximately 10mm.
See Figure 57 Figure 57
—if the belt deflection is greater than 10mm, use the wrench
to loosen the motor mount bolts (
Figure 58 ) and slide the
motor downward until the deflection is correct.
4. Tighten the bolts and recheck the belts.

Cutting fluid system
WARNING! Biological and poison hazard! Use the correct personal protection equipment when handling cutting
fluid and by fluid manufacturer requirements to properly dispose of cutting fluid.
Checking cutting fluid system
When checking the cutting fluid system, the goal is to make sure there is enough cutting fluid, the chip level in the
first chamber is not too high, and the cutting fluid has not become rancid or contaminated.
To check the cutting fluid system:
1. Disconnect lathe from power!
2. At the tailstock end of the lathe, remove the pump access cover.
3. Inspect the level of cutting fluid inside the tank. The cutting fluid should be approximately an inch below the top of
the tank.
4. Using a wooden stick, check the level of the metal chips in the first chamber (see Figure 59) . If the chips are 3⁄4
the height of the baffle, then remove the chips.
