and try to start the lathe again. The cover
kill switch should prevent the lathe from
starting while the guard is open.
Figure 28. Chuck safety cover.
24. Close the chuck guard.
25. Open the cutting fluid valve, and using the
pump switch shown in Figure 28, turn the
cutting fluid pump ON. Verify that fluid
flows from the nozzle, then turn the cutting
fluid pump OFF.
— If no fluid is pumped, but fluid level is
full, no hose kinks exist, and the cutting
fluid nozzle is open, the pump may be
wired with incorrect phase polarity.
Correct the pump phase polarity wiring as
outlined on Page 16.
The test run is now finished. Shut the lathe down
and begin the Spindle Break-In procedure.
