Checking & Adding Oil
The sight glass shown in Figure 124 shows
the oil level in the apron. At the full level, the
oil fills approximately
3 ⁄
4
of the sight glass. At
the add level, the oil fills 1 ⁄
4
of the sight glass or
less. Check the oil level daily and after using the
apron oil pump.
Changing Oil
The oil in the apron reservoir must be changed
after the break-in period and then annually (or
every six months with hard service or extreme
working conditions). The drain plug is shown in
Figure 124 is removed with a 6mm hex wrench,
and the knurled fill plug is shown in Figure
125
is removed by hand.

Lubrication Frequency ................................... Daily
Before lubricating the leadscrew, clean it first
with mineral spirits. A paint brush works well
to help clean out the threads. Make sure to move
the carriage out of the way, so you can clean the
entire length of the leadscrew.
Apply a thin coat of oil along the length of the
leadscrew. Use a paint brush to make sure the
oil is evenly applied and down in the threads.
To use the way pump to lubricate the ways, pull
the pump knob out for two or three seconds and
then push it in. The pump draws oil from the
apron reservoir and then forces it through drilled
passages to the way guides.
Repeat this process and move the carriage left/
right and the cross slide forward/backward to
distribute oil along the way guides.
Lubricate the guides once before and once after
operating the lathe. If the lathe is in a moist
or dirty environment, increase the lubrication
interval and make sure to keep the oil level full.
