NOTICE
The recommended lubrication is based on
light-to-medium usage. Keeping in mind
that lubrication helps to protect the value
and operation of the lathe, these lubrication
tasks may need to be performed more fre-
quently than recommended here, depend-
ing on usage.
Failure to follow reasonable lubrication
practices as instructed in this manual could
lead to premature failure of lathe compo-
nents and will void the warranty.

Oil Amount .......................................... 3.5 Quarts
Check/Add Frequency ................................. Daily
Change Frequency ....................... Semi-Annually
The headstock gearing is lubricated by an oil bath
that distributes the lubricant with the motion of the
gears, much like an automotive manual transmis-
sion. Change the oil after the first 2 hours of use,
then semi-annually.
Checking Oil Level
The headstock reservoir has the proper amount of
oil when the oil level in the sight glass is approxi-
mately halfway. The oil sight glass is located
below the chuck, as shown in Figure 106.
