Adding Coolant; Power Connection - South bend SB1050F Manual

For Machines Mfg. Since 5/11
In addition to the reservoirs, we also recommend
that you lubricate all other points on the
machine at this time. This can be accomplished
by following the maintenance schedule on
Page 64.
Note: If this lathe was shipped with oil in the
reservoirs, do not change that oil until after the
test run and spindle break-in procedures.

Adding Coolant

Add the coolant of your choice now. For detailed
instructions on where the coolant tank is located
and how to add fluid, refer to Coolant System
Service on Page 71.

Power Connection

Electrocution or fire
may occur if machine is
ungrounded, incorrectly
connected to power, or
connected to an undersized
circuit. Use an electrician or
a qualified service personnel
to ensure a safe power
connection.
Once your machine is set up and assembled as
previously described in this manual, it is ready to
be connected to the power source.
Note About Extension Cords: Using an
incorrectly sized extension cord may decrease the
life of electrical components on your machine.
Refer to Extension Cords on Page 18 for more
