become visible. The level of lubrication should be maintained at the top of the
overflow, cut-out section of the saddle extension casting. With hydraulic ma-
chines, the level of way lube is approximately ⅜" deep from the bottom. If the
level appears to be low, adjust oil flow valve for the ways, (Part No, BA931W,
Index No. 18, page 7) on hydraulic tank for increased flow to table reservoirs.
Similarly, attempt to determine if pressure lubrication system (one-shot, auto-
matic one-shot, etc.) is putting out the proper amount of way lube. Adjust
as necessary.
SUGGESTED INSPECTION AND CLEANING SCHEDULE
Monthly:
A. Ways should be inspected at least once per month if the machine is in continu-
ous use.
B. Clean the bottom of the hardened TABLE "V" and flat ways, at least once per
week by moving the table to the extreme ends of its travel, left and right, and
wiping the ways with a clean cloth.
Yearly:
A. Clean out the hollow SADDLE EXTENSIONS on each side of the table. Move
the table to one end and then the other, uncovering these extension areas.
These hollow extensions will accumulate some dirt and oil drippings from the
ways, and need to be cleaned periodically. Extensions are drained back into
the saddle on hydraulic models.
B. Remove the table from the saddle by removing the hand nut (Index No. 3E)
from the table roller hold-down tension rod end (Index No. 3H), under the
saddle, by counterclockwise turns. Be careful to disattach all items attached
to the table, such as coolant guards and the hydraulic piston rod Remove the
tensioning spring and lift the table straight upward until the hold-down rod
clears the saddle sleeve hole. NOTE: Because of the nylon tensioning plugs,
the entire assembly will hang onto the gear rack steel hold down bar (Index 4,
page 2). Set the table on its side and inspect its ways for wear. Inspect the
hardened ways and balls in the saddle for signs of wear. Clean out the saddle
table and balls Clean out the saddle table way reservoirs. Replace with clean
oil or way lube, and replace the table back onto the saddle by reversing the
steps just taken to remove the table. Tighten the hand nut of the table roller
hold-down assembly until the spring is fully compressed, and then loosen it
by approximately ¾ of a turn.
