5. Hold the other end of the drain tube in the
bucket, and turn ON the master power
switch located on the electrical box door. The
old headstock oil will be pumped from the
tank and into the bucket.
6. As soon as you hear a sucking sound from
the tank, or when the oil slows or stops
flowing out, turn the master power switch
OFF to stop the pump.
7. Remove the rubber drain hose and reconnect
the headstock oil supply line to the check
valve.
3. Remove the headstock oil supply line from
the check valve, as shown in Figure 121.
4. Push the rubber drain hose onto the
headstock oil supply line, as shown in
Figure 119. Use a hose clamp if required to
ensure a tight connection.
8. Place a series of rags under the tank access
cover to catch the residual oil in the tank
when the tank access cover shown in Figure

9. Remove the pump suction line from the tank.
10. Remove the three access cover cap screws,
and carefully remove the cover.
11. Using mineral spirits and rags, wipe down
the inside of the tank including any baffles
and screens until all are clean. Make sure
to soak up any excess mineral spirits with
dry rags, so it does not stay in the tank and
contaminate the oil.
Tip: Consider placing one or two magnets at the
bottom of the tank to collect any fine metal
particles generated by the headstock drive
train. This will make cleaning easier the
next time around and ensure that more
metal particles are kept out of the headstock
oil.
12. Reinstall the access plate with a new gasket
or silicone sealant.
13. Place the funnel in the fill spout and add
the new oil. Refer to Page 66 for the
recommended type and amount of oil to use.
14. Test pump operation, recheck the oil level,
and reinstall the covers.
