To change headstock oil:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Remove end gear cover.
3. Remove V-belts so that oil does not get on
them, necessitating their replacement (refer

Page 73 for detailed instructions).
4.
Remove fill plug from top of headstock.
5.
Place a 2-gallon drain pan under headstock
drain plug (see Figure 103), then remove
drain plug.
Tip: Use an 8" section of
pipe to serve as an extension drain tube after
removing the drain plug.
6.
When headstock reservoir is empty, replace
drain plug and wipe up spilled oil.
7.
Fill headstock reservoir until oil level is
approximately halfway in sight glass, then
replace fill plug.
8.
Re-install and re-tension V-belts, then secure
end-gear cover before re-connecting lathe to
power.
