MAINTENANCE
Lubrication
The recommended schedule
on the previous page for the
lubrication tasks is based on
light-to-medium usage. Keeping
in mind that lubrication helps to
protect the value and operation
of the rotary table, these
lubrication tasks may need to be
performed more frequently than
recommended, depending on
usage.
Failure to follow reasonable
lubrication practices as
instructed in this manual could
lead to premature failure of the
rotary table components and will
void the warranty.
Ball Oilers
There are two ball oilers (see
Figure 14) that must be lubricated
before daily use, or more often with
heavy use.
Figure 14. Locations of the two ball
oilers.
Ball Oilers
Important: Use an oil can or gun
that has a plastic or rubber tip.
Metal tips can damage the ball and
spring inside the oilers.
Clean away debris and grime from
around the ball oilers, then depress
the ball with the oil can tip to add
oil until it is seen exiting between
the parts. Clean away any excess
lubricant, then rotate the table at
least one full revolution to evenly
disperse the lubricant.
Worm Gear & Shaft
To gain access to the worm gear and
shaft for cleaning and lubrication,
you need to remove the table from
the cast iron housing.
