Lubricate the Rotary Table
NOTICE! Never operate the 4th Axis without lubrication.
Operating the 4th Axis without lubrication may void your
warranty.
The rotary table is shipped without oil. Before operating, you
must fill the rotary table with oil. Only use AGMA 2 gear oil or
SAE 30 weight motor oil. Do not use way oil.
Note: After the rotary table is filled with oil, you must
allow it to drain the excess oil, which may take up to
two days. You may use the 4th Axis while it drains.
1. Identify the oil fittings on the rotary table.

2. On the standard rotary tables (6 in. Rotary Table or 8 in.
Rotary Table), identify the oil reservoir.
3. Use a trigger-style oil can to fill the oil fittings: Insert the
tip of the oil can into each fitting, and pump in oil until
you can feel back pressure.
4. On the standard rotary tables (6 in. Rotary Table or 8 in.
Rotary Table), fill the oil reservoir until the oil begins to
leak out at the bottom of the table. If the If the oil
reservoir is over-filled, it slowly leaks out until it reaches
the correct level.
5. Put the rotary table on a stack of newspaper (or similar)
to allow it to drain the excess oil.
Adjust the Backlash
NOTICE! You must complete the steps in this procedure
to adjust the backlash. If you do not adjust the backlash, it
could result in premature wear on the rotary table.
