Lubrication Schedule - Jet EVS-1440B Operating Instructions And Parts Manual

12.0 Lubrication schedule

Regularly scheduled maintenance is crucial to ensure a long service life for your machine. The schedule below shows
lubrication points and coolant replacement information for the EVS-1440B Lathe. Push stop button and power off
before lubricating. Follow local regulations for disposal of used coolant/lubricants. Minimize direct skin contact with
lubricants and coolants, and wear eye protection when pouring coolant in case of splash.
Mobile DTE® Oil Heavy Medium is recommended for the SAE-20W machine oil. Mobilith® AW2 is recommended for
the lithium tube grease.
If the brand of oil is ever changed, it is recommended that you flush and clean the reservoir first to prevent any
compatibility issues.
