2. Uncrating and Cleaning

1. Remove the crate from around the lathe carefully.

2. Unbolt the lathe from the shipping crate base.

3. Choose a suitable location for the lathe that is dry, is well lit and that has

enough room around to be able to perform maintenance to the entire machine.

4. Place two steel rods or pipes (of sufficient strength) into the four holes (A, Fig

1) of the lathe stand. Place slings around the rods (ma e sure that they are of a

sufficient capacity). DO NOT lift by the spindle. Use a crane to list the machine

and slowly raise the lathe from the base, ma e sure that the lathe is balanced

before moving.

Fig 1

5. To avoid twisting the bed, the lathes location must be absolutely flat and level,

use an engineer’s precision level on the beds ways in both the longitudinal and

cross directions. Levelling pads have been included with the machine, use these

and the levelling screws to adjust the level of the machine. The lathe must be

level to be accurate.

6. Clean the anti-rust oil from the surfaces of the machine with a mild

commercial solvent or erosene. Do not use paint thinner, gasoline or lacquer

thinner as these will damage the painted surfaces. Once the surfaces have been

cleaned apply a thin layer of machine oil to protect the bare metal surfaces from

rust.

7. Open the end gear door, clean all of the components and the coat the gears

with heavy oil or non-slinging grease, close the door before use.

3. Chuck Preparation

Note: Before removing the chuc form the spindle, place a wooden bloc across the

guideways under the chuc .

1. Support the chuc while turning the three camloc s ¼ turn counter-cloc wise

with the chuc ey.

2. Carefully remove the chuc from the spindle and place it onto an adequate

wor surface.

3. Inspect the camloc studs and ma e sure that they have not become crac ed

or bro en during transport. Clean all of the parts thoroughly and clean the

spindle and camloc s to ensure that the chuc mates with the spindle securely.

4. Cover the chuc jaws and scroll inside the chuc with a thin layer of oil, cover

the spindle, cam loc s and the chuc body with a light film of heavier oil.

5. Lift the chuc up to the spindle nose and press onto the spindle. Tighten the

chuc in place by turning the camloc s ¼ turn cloc wise, the index mar (A, Fig

2) on the camloc should be between the two indicator arrows (B, Fig 2). If the

index mar is not between the two arrows, remove the chuc and adjust the

camloc studs by either turning out one full turn (if the cam will not engage) or

turning in one full turn (if the cams turn beyond the indicator mar s).

Lubrication

Caution! The lathe must be kept well lubricated at all times and all reservoirs

filled to their operating levels before starting the machine. Failure to comply

may cause serious damage to the lathe!

1. Headstoc : The oil must be filled to the indicator mar on the oil sight glass

(A, Fig 3). The oil can be poured into the headstoc once the plug (D, Fig 3) has

been removed. To drain the oil from the headstoc , unscrew the drain plug (A,

Fig 4) with an 8mm Allen ey, drain the oil completely and tighten the drain plug

bac into place. Drain and replace the oil in the headstoc after first month of

operation, then every 12 months.

Fig. 3

2. Gearbox: The oil must be filled to the indicator mar on the oil sight glass (A,

Fig 3). The oil can be poured into the gearbox once the plug (C, Fig 5) has been

removed. To drain the oil from the gearbox, unscrew the drain plug (A, Fig 5)

with an 8mm Allen ey, drain the oil completely and tighten the drain plug bac

into place. Drain and replace the oil in the gearbox after first month of operation,

then every 12 months.

Fig. 5

3. Apron: The oil must be filled to the indicator mar on the oil sight glass (A, Fig

6). The oil can be poured into the apron once the plug (B, Fig 6) has been

removed. To drain the oil from the apron, unscrew the drain plug with an 8mm

Allen ey, drain the oil completely and tighten the drain plug bac into place.

Drain and replace the oil in the apron after first month of operation, then every 12

months.

Fig 6

4. Leadscrew/Feed Rod: Lubricate the

ball oiler (A, Fig 7) on the

leadscrew/feed rod brac et once daily.

5. Tailstoc : Lubricate the two ball

oilers (B, Fig 7) once daily.

Fig. 7

6. Cross Slide: Lubricate the four ball oilers (A, Fig 8) once daily

7. Compound Rest: Lubricate one ball

oiler (B, Fig 8) once daily

8. Carriage: Lubricate the four ball

oilers (D, Fig 8) once daily

Fig. 8

Coolant Preparation

Caution! Follow the manufactures recommendations for use, care and

disposal.

Remove the rear access cover on the tailstoc end and ma e sure that the coolant

tan has not shifted during transport and is properly located under the recovery

chute.

Fig 9.

Pour three gallons of coolant mix into the chip pan and, once the power has been

connected, turn on the coolant pump and chec to see that the coolant is cycling

properly. Once this has all been chec ed, secure the coolant door bac onto the

stand.

Electrical Connections

Warning! All electrical connections must be completed by a qualified

electrician! Failure to comply may cause serious injury and/or damage to the

machinery and property!

Lathe Power Source Junction Box: Remove the cover. Run the main power through

the strain relief bushing and attach the ground, followed by the power leads.

Replace the cover.

Main Power Switch: Located on the rear of the machine. Turns the power to the

machine on and off.

Ma e sure that the lathe is properly grounded.

To ensure that the lathe has been connected correctly, pull up the forward/reverse

lever, the spindle should rotate in a counter-cloc wise direction when viewed from

the tailstoc . If the spindle rotates cloc wise, turn the power off and change any two
