Motor Shaft Lubrication - Grizzly G0462 Owner's Manual

Motor Shaft Lubrication

The motor shaft must be properly lubricated
to ensure the variable-speed pulley assembly
can open and close smoothly when adjusted.
Any common machine oil is acceptable for this
purpose, but we recommend using a "dry" type
lubricant, such as Grizzly model G2545 or G4682,
to avoid attracting dust and prevent a build-up of
grime.
To lubricate motor shaft:
1.
DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2. Remove plastic cover shown in Figure 49 to
access motor shaft ball oiler.

3.
Push tip of oil can nozzle against ball oiler,
then pump can once or twice. Alternatively,
if using a spray-type lubricant, place the end
of the straw against the ball oiler and give it a
quick squirt. Do not over-oil.
4. Turn lathe ON and run for approximately one
minute. Rotate variable-speed lever back and
forth to distribute oil.
5. Turn lathe OFF and re-install plastic cover.
