Maintenance Instructions

Make sure machine is unplugged from power
source before performing maintenance or mak-
ing any adjustment.

Lubrication

Proper lubrication is essential to trouble-free operation
and long life of threading machine.
1. Remove four (4) cover screws and remove cover.
2. Use grease gun to apply grease to the shaft bearing
(Figure 31). Grease fittings every 2 to 6 months, de-
pending upon amount of machine use.
Figure 31 – Greasing Main Shaft Bearings
3. Apply moderate coat of lubricating grease on large
gear each time bearings are lubricated. Use grease
containing molybdenum disulfide.
Do not operate threading machine with cover off.
Always replace cover immediately after lubricat-
ing machine.

Oil System Maintenance

To help assure proper operation of threading machine,
keep oil system clean.
1. Replace thread cutting oil when it becomes dirty or
contaminated. To drain oil, position a container under
the drain plug and remove plug.
2. Clean oil filter screen to assure proper flow of clean oil
to work. Oil filter screen is located in the bottom of oil
reservoir. (Figure 32)
