SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE
Always disconnect power
to the machine before
performing maintenance.
Failure to do this may
result in serious person-
al injury.
Schedule
For optimum performance from your machine,
follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any
specific instructions given in this section.
Daily Checks and Maintenance:
•
Loose mounting bolts.
•
Emergency stop and brake operation.
•
Worn or damaged wires.
•
Coolant level.
•
Lubrication levels.
•
Remove chips.
•
Any other unsafe condition.
Monthly Check:
•
Change coolant as needed.
Cleaning
Cleaning the Model G0600 is relatively easy.
Make sure to unplug the lathe before cleaning it.
Clean your machine every day or more often as
needed. Remove chips as they accumulate. Wet
chips left on the machine will eventually invite
oxidation and gummy residue to build up around
moving parts. Cleaning will help keep your lathe
running smoothly. Always be safe and responsible
with the use and disposal of cleaning products.

Lubrication
General Lubrication
Keep machined metal surfaces like the chuck,
ways bores, controls, change gears, rollers, and
unpainted cast iron rust-free with applications of
products like G96
Gun Treatment, SLIPIT
®
Boeshield
T-9 (see SECTION 5: ACCESSORIES
®
on Page 46 for more details).
Headstock
The headstock gearbox is lubricated with an oil
pump and 20W non-detergent oil, ISO 68, or an
equivalent gear box machine oil. Keep the oil level
full as seen in the sight glass shown in (Figure
85). When the lathe is running, periodically make
sure that you see oil pumping out of the oil tube
in the pump-check sight glass (Figure 85). If oil is
not seen pumping, shut the lathe down immedi-
ately and contact Grizzly Technical Support.
