Central lubricating system
Proper lubrication of the spindle bearings and brake
band is essential for trouble-free operation and long
life for the machine. The central lubricating system
makes this a very easy procedure.
Check the reservoir and refill if necessary with SAE 30
weight lubricating oil into inlet.
Once a day, before starting the machine for the first
time, lift and release the lubricator plunger six times.
During normal operation, lift and release the plunger
four times every two hours of operation.
Replace filter element once a year on the central
lubricator pump.

If machine has been used for only right hand
threading, reverse jaws and remount on jaw shafts so
that the unused side faces spindle opening.
Inspect jaw shaft keys for wear.
Install replacement jaws so that single row jaws
(1) are the opposite of each other and doubles (2)
are opposite each other. Also alternate single and
double jaws between front (3) and rear chucks (4).
