Lubrication - Grizzly G0842 Owner's Manual

Lubrication

all bearings on this lathe are lubricated and per-
manently sealed at the factory, and do not need
additional lubrication.
Wipe a lightly oiled shop rag on the outside of the
headstock spindle (see figure 59). do not allow
any oil to get on the inside mating surfaces of the
spindle.
use the tailstock handwheel to extend the quill
out to the furthest position and apply a thin coat
of dry lube, such as grizzly Model g4682 (refer
to Cleaning and Protecting on Page 40) to the
outside of the quill (see figure 59). do not allow
any oil or grease to get on the inside mating sur-
faces of the quill.
use mineral spirts and a shop rag to clean the
central shaft (see figure 59) that runs the length
of the lathe. When dry, use apply a thin coat of
dry lube to the shaft and rack teeth on bottom of
the shaft.

Motor Shaft Lubrication
the motor shaft must be properly lubricated
to ensure the variable-speed pulley assembly
can open and close smoothly when adjusted.
any common machine oil is acceptable for this
purpose, but we recommend using a "dry" type
lubricant, such as grizzly model g2545 or g4682,
to avoid attracting dust and prevent a build-up of
grime.
To lubricate motor shaft:

push tip of oil can nozzle against ball oiler,
then pump can once or twice. alternatively,
if using a spray-type lubricant, place the end
of the straw against the ball oiler and give it a
quick squirt. do not over-lubricate.
4. turn machine ON and while remaining a safe
distance from the V-belt, run for approxi-
mately one minute. pull spindle speed shift
lever out and move and rotate left to right to
distribute oil.
5. turn machine OFF and re-install belt cover.
