Changing Oil
Change the quick-change gearbox oil after the
first 300 hours of use, then after every 1000 hours
of use. Place a catch pan under the quick-change
gearbox drain plug (see Figure 111). Use a 8mm
hex wrench to remove the gearbox fill plug (see
Figure 111), then remove the drain plug and
allow the gearbox reservoir to empty. Re-install
the drain plug and add oil until the level is approxi-
mately halfway in the gearbox oil sight glass, then
re-install the fill plug.
When headstock reservoir is empty, replace
drain plug and clean away any spilled oil.
Fill headstock reservoir until oil level is
approximately halfway in sight glass.
Replace and re-tension the V-belts (refer to
Replacing V-Belts on Page 79), then close
end gear cover before re-connecting lathe to
power.
