Lubricating Lathe
The headstock, quick-change gearbox, and apron
oil reservoirs must have the proper amount of oil
in them before the lathe can be operated initially.
Damage caused to the bearings and gears from
running the lathe without oil in the reservoirs
will not be covered under warranty. Refer to the
Lubrication section, beginning on Page 65, for
checking and adding oil.
GEARBOXES MUST
BE FILLED WITH OIL!
LATHE MAY NOT
HAVE OIL INCLUDED!
Refer to the Lubrication
Section in this Manual

— If using mounting hardware that does not
allow for adjustment, level the lathe by
placing metal shims between the lathe
base and the floor before bolting it down.
