Spindle Lubrication (for Series 3 Vision Tables only)
The spindle assembly in the Series 3 Vision Tables requires a
monthly lubrication of the housing (as shown in Fig.5.4).
Simply push the spindle up until there is a 1/3" gap between
the spindle block and the "lip" of the housing. Lubricate with
2 to 3 drops of 3 in 1 oil.
DO NOT OVER LUBRICATE! This wil cause
the spindle to stick.
