6. LUBRICATION
6-1 Headstock Lubrication
Headstock lubrication is splash injection type. Oil grooves are equipped around the headstock
to provide lubricant flowing from oil grooves to spindle, and then finally reach the bottom of the
headstock. To add oil, please take off the oil plug on the top of the headstock’s cover; fill the oil to
the centerline of oil sight glass. Oil drain hole is located on the right bottom side of the headstock.
Before operating the lathe, be sure the headstock is filled with oil. If not, please add Shell Tellus
#32. Replace headstock oil after one month use for the first time. Thereafter every six months.
6-2 Gear Box & Apron Lubrication
1. Gear box is reservoir oil bath type. To ensure the long service life of gear box and gears,
please change its oil every six months.
2. Apron is also reservoir oil bath type. Please add more oil as soon as the oil level is lower
than the center line of the oil sight glass.
