9.
Slide the tank partially into the base and re-
connect the fluid hose.
Tip:
Leave one or more magnets at the bottom
of the tank to collect metal chips and make
cleanup easier next time. This will also help
keep small metal chips out of the pump.
10.
Refill the tank with new coolant, then slide it
completely into the base.
11.
Replace the access cover panel.
12.
Re-connect the lathe to power and point the
nozzle into the chip drawer.
13.
Turn the master power switch
ON
, then
reset the STOP button.
14.
Turn the coolant pump
ON
to verify that
fluid cycles properly, then turn it
OFF

Machine Storage
To prevent the development of rust and
corrosion, the lathe must be properly prepared
if it will be stored for a long period of time.
Doing this will ensure the lathe remains in good
condition for later use.
To prepare the lathe for storage:
1.
Run the lathe and bring all gearboxes to
operating temperature, then drain and refill
them with clean oil.
2.
Pump out the old coolant, then add a few
drops of way oil and blow out the lines with
compressed air.
3.
DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
4.
Thoroughly clean all unpainted, bare metal
surfaces, then apply a liberal coat of way
oil, heavy grease, or rust preventative. Take
care to ensure these surfaces are completely
covered but that the rust preventative or
grease is kept off of painted surfaces.
5.
Lubricate the machine as outlined in the
lubrication section. Be sure to use an oil can
to purge all ball oilers and oil passages with
fresh oil.
6.
Loosen or remove the V-belts so they do not
become stretched during the storage period.
(Be sure to place a maintenance note near
the power button as a reminder that the
belts have been loosened or removed.)
7.
Place a few moisture absorbing desiccant
packs inside of the electrical box.
8.
Cover the lathe and place it in a dry area
that is out of direct sunlight and away from
hazardous fumes, paint, solvents, or gas.
Fumes and sunlight can bleach or discolor
paint and make the chuck guard cloudy.
9.
Every few months, rotate by hand all gear-
driven components a few times in several
gear selections. This will keep the bearings,
bushings, gears, and shafts well lubricated
and protected from corrosion—especially
during the winter months.
Slide the carriage, micrometer stop,
tailstock, and steady rest down the lathe
bed to make sure that way spotting is not
beginning to occur.
