Figure 103. Headstock fill and drain plugs.
To change the headstock oil:
1.
DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2. Remove the end gear cover.
3. Remove the V-belts so that oil does not get
on them, necessitating their replacement
(refer to the V-Belt Tension & Replacement
on Page 74 for detailed instructions).
4. Using an 8mm hex wrench, remove the fill
plug from the top of the headstock.
5. Place a 2-gallon catch pan under the head-
stock drain plug (see Figure 103), then
remove the drain plug.
6. When the headstock reservoir is empty,
replace the drain plug and clean away any
spilled oil.
7. Fill the headstock reservoir until the oil level
is approximately halfway in the sight glass.
8.
Replace and re-tension the V-belts, then
secure the end-gear cover before re-connect-
ing the lathe to power.
