•
Check operation of all cooling fans.
•
Clean any chips from around the tool turret.
•
Inspect the coolant collector at the rear of the spindle to ensure it is draining
properly and is not blocked by chips. If cutting chips accumulate in the collector,
install a plug in the spindle/chuck bore to prevent this. – Also see “hydraulic
chuck” below.
•
Hydraulic chuck - If machine is equipped with a hydraulic chuck and the
drawtube bore is not being used, install the chuck plug supplied in order to stop
fine chips from working their way into the coolant collector screen. If the coolant
collector overflows, coolant may be allowed to contaminate the hydraulic oil.
Apply a few pumps of general-purpose synthetic grease to each grease zerk on
the chuck itself.
