To change the coolant:
1. Position the coolant nozzle over the back of
the back splash so that it is pointing behind
the lathe.
2. Place the 5-gallon bucket behind the lathe
and under the coolant nozzle. Have another
person hold the bucket up to the nozzle to
prevent coolant from splashing out.
3. Turn the coolant pump ON and pump the old
fluid out of the reservoir. Turn the pump OFF
immediately after the fluid stops flowing.
Adding Coolant
4. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
5. Remove the access cover from the side of
the right stand, then slide the tank out.
Note: The fluid hose, pump cord, and ground
wire (see Figure 125) were purposely left
long, so the tank can be removed and
dumped out without disconnecting them from
the tank. However, the drain tube (see Figure
124 on Page 72) may come out of the tank
when you empty it.
6. Pour the remaining coolant into the 5-gallon
bucket and close the lid.
7. Clean all the sludge out of the bottom of the
tank and then flush it clean. Use the second
bucket to hold the waste and make sure to
seal the lid closed when done.
Dispose of the old coolant and swarf accord-
ing to federal, state, and fluid manufacturer's
requirements.
Running the coolant pump longer than
necessary for this procedure without
adequate fluid in the tank may permanently
damage it, which will not be covered under
warranty.
3. Pour coolant into the tank until it is approxi-
mately 1" from the top.
4. Slide the tank back into the cabinet and
replace the access cover.
Changing Coolant
When you replace the old coolant, take the time
to thoroughly clean out the chip drawer and fluid
tank. The entire job only takes about a
1
⁄2 hour
when you are prepared with the proper materi-
als and tools. Make sure to dispose of old fluid
according to federal, state, and fluid manufac-
turer's requirements.
