LUBRICATION
Headstock Lubrication.
The headstock gears should be lubricated with No. 70 (HL-70) Gear Compound. Check
them periodically, and apply lubrication whenever they appear dry. Do not apply exces-
sive grease, since you do not want to get grease on the drive belt.
The oil in the headstock should be changed regularly. When the machine is new,
change the oil after the first 15 days of use. Change it again after the next 45 days of
use. Thereafter, change the oil after each 6 months. To change the oil, open the drain
plug on the underside of the headstock. After draining, replace the drain plug and refill
with clean lubricating oil until the oil level is at the red line on the oil gauge. Use stan-
dard 30 weight motor oil. Dispose of waste oil properly, and in accordance with local
regulations.
If during operation the oil level is below the red line, stop machining and add oil until
the level is at the red line.
