The plastic end gears do not need to be lubri-
cated. However, we recommend lightly lubricating
the B/C change gear keyed bushing with white
lithium grease.
Tumbler Gears

Add lubricant between the bolt heads and tumbler
gears shown in Figure 79.
Remove the end cover and B/C change gear,

Machine Storage
Preparing Lathe for Storage
1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2. Thoroughly clean all unpainted, bare metal
surfaces, then apply a liberal coat of way oil,
heavy grease, or rust preventative. Take care
to ensure these surfaces are completely cov-
ered but that the rust preventative or grease
is kept off of painted surfaces.
3. Lubricate machine as outlined in lubrication
section. Be sure to use an oil can to purge all
ball oilers and oil passages with fresh oil.
4. Place a few moisture absorbing desiccant
packs inside of the electrical box.
5. Cover lathe and place it in a dry area that is
out of direct sunlight and away from hazard-
ous fumes, paint, solvents, or gas. Fumes
and sunlight can bleach or discolor paint.
6. Every few months, rotate by hand all gear-
driven components a few times in several
gear selections. This will keep bearings,
bushings, gears, and shafts well lubricated
and protected from corrosion—especially
during winter months.
Slide carriage, tailstock, and steady rest
down lathe bed to make sure that way spot-
ting is not beginning to occur.
Bringing Lathe Out of Storage
1. Remove moisture-absorbing desiccant packs
from electrical box.
2. Repeat Test Run and Spindle Break-In pro-
cedures, beginning on Page 21.
