SADDLE FEED GEARBOX DRAIN & REFILL
Make a card-stock Vee channel as described for draining the
headstock. Run the lathe for a few minutes to warm the oil if
necessary. Remove the gearbox ll plug, Figure 4-4 (2). With
the Vee channel in place, remove drain plug (3) and allow the
gearbox to empty completely. Replace the drain plug. To rell
the gearbox use a funnel attached to a exible plastic tube in-
serted into the ll hole. Add oil to the halfway mark on the sight
glass on the front panel of the gearbox (about 2 qts).
APRON GEARBOX DRAIN & REFILL
Remove the ll plug, Figure 4-5. Remove the drain plug, Fig-
ure 4-6, and allow the apron to empty completely. Replace
the drain plug. Add oil to the halfway mark on the sight glass
(about 1 qt).
