6.0 Installation
1. Finish removing the wooden crate from around
the lathe.
2. Unbolt the lathe from the shipping crate
bottom.
3. Choose a location for the lathe that is dry, has
good lighting, and has enough room to service
the lathe on all four sides
4. Place two steel rods or pipes (of sufficient
strength) into four holes (A, Fig. 2) of lathe
stand. Sling the lathe with properly rated
straps. Do not lift by spindle. With adequate
lifting equipment, slowly raise the lathe off the
shipping crate bottom. Make sure lathe is
balanced before moving.
5. To avoid twisting the bed, the lathe's location
must be absolutely flat and level. Check for a
level condition using a machinist's precision
level on the bedways both front to back and
side to side. The leveling pads included in the
tool box and the leveling screws in the lathe
base will help you to reach a level condition.
The lathe must be level to be accurate.
6. Clean all rust protected surfaces using a mild
commercial solvent, kerosene or diesel fuel.
Do not use paint thinner, gasoline, or lacquer
thinner, as these can damage painted
surfaces. Cover all cleaned surfaces with a
light film of Mobil DTE® Oil Heavy Medium.
7. Open the end gear door. Clean all
components of the end gear assembly and
coat all gears with Mobilith® AW 1. Close the
door.
6.1 Chuck preparation (three jaw)
Read and understand all
directions for chuck preparation. Failure to
comply may cause serious injury and/or
damage to the lathe!
Note: Before removing the chuck from the spindle,
place a way board across the bedways under the
chuck
1. Support the chuck while turning three
camlocks (Fig. 3) 1/4 turn counter-clockwise
with the chuck key enclosed in the tool box.
2. Carefully remove the chuck from the spindle
and place on an adequate work surface.
3. Inspect the camlock studs. Make sure they
have not become cracked or broken during
transit. Clean all parts thoroughly with solvent.
Also clean the spindle and camlocks.
