Lubrication
For the quill, table, and column, an occasional
application of light machine oil is all that is neces-
sary. Before applying lubricant, clean off any dust
or metal chips.
Your goal is to achieve adequate lubrication. Too
much lubrication will attract dirt and dust. Various
parts of your machine could lose their freedom of
movement as a result.
Headstock Lubrication
Oil Type ......Model T23963 or ISO 32 Equivalent
Oil Amount ...........................................4
3
⁄4 quarts
Lubrication Frequency ........................... Annually
The headstock uses an oil pump to lubricate the
gears. For this machine, use ISO 68 machine
oil. Check the oil level every day (see Step 4).
Change oil annually.
To change oil in headstock:
1. Remove the oil fill plug on top of the machine
(see Figure 35).
2. Remove the drain plug, and allow old oil to
drain into an appropriate container.
3. Replace and tighten the drain plug.
4. Fill the headstock with oil to the red mark on
the site glass (see Figure 36).
5. Re-install the oil fill plug.
6. Discard used oil following federal, state, and
fluid manufacturer guidelines for proper dis-
posal.
Do not fill headstock with oil above the red
mark. This could damage the machine and
create an overflow of oil.

Oil Flow Sight Glass
This machine comes with an oil flow sight glass
(see Figure 37). Examine the flow sight glass
during machine operation to ensure that the oil is
properly circulating within the headstock.
If oil is not circulating, and headstock has proper
amount of oil, shut down machine immediately
and call tech support.
