Flush reservoir by pouring a small amount of
clean oil into fill hole and allowing it to drain
out bottom.

Extended Service Task
Under heavy workloads, it may become neces-
sary to remove oil sight glasses on the headstock,
gearbox, and apron to remove oil residue or film.
Clean the sight glass only with hot, soapy water.
Mineral spirits may cloud the glass and obscure
the oil level.
Bedways
Oil Type .... Grizzly T23962 or ISO 68 Equivalent
Oil Amount ......................................... As Needed
Lubrication Frequency ................................. Daily
Before lubricating the bedways (see Figure 108),
clean them with mineral spirits. Apply a thin coat
of oil along the length of the bedway. Move the
steady rest, carriage, and tailstock to access the
entire length of the bedways. If the lathe is in a
moist or dirty environment, increase the lubrica-
tion frequency.

Longitudinal Leadscrew
Oil Type .... Grizzly T23962 or ISO 68 Equivalent
Oil Amount ......................................... As Needed
Lubrication Frequency ................................. Daily
Before lubricating the leadscrew (see Figure
108), clean it first with mineral spirits. A stiff brush
works well to help clean out the threads. Make
sure to move the carriage out of the way, so you
can clean the entire length of the leadscrew.

Bedways
Leadscrew
Apply a thin coat of oil along the length of the
leadscrew. Use a stiff brush to make sure the oil
is applied evenly and down into the threads.
Note: In some environments, abrasive material
can become caught in the leadscrew lubricant and
drawn into the half nut. In this case, lubricate the
leadscrew with a quality dry lubricant.

Oil Type .... Grizzly T23963 or ISO 32 Equivalent
Oil Amount ......................................1 or 2 Squirts
Lubrication Frequency ................................. Daily
