Power Connection

After you have completed all previous setup
instructions and circuit requirements, the
machine is ready to be connected to the power
supply.

Due to the complexity required for planning,
bending, and installing the conduit necessary for
a code-compliant hardwire setup, an electrician
or qualified service personnel MUST perform this
type of installation.

Hardwire setups typically require power supply
wires to be enclosed inside of a solid or flexible
conduit, which is securely mounted at both ends
with the appropriate conduit fittings. All work
must adhere to the required electrical codes.

The hardwire setup must include a locking
disconnect switch (see Figure 21) between the
power source and the machine. This switch
serves as the means to completely disconnect
the machine from power to prevent electrocution
from accidental startup during adjustments,
maintenance, or service to the machine.

Adding Coolant

Add the coolant of your choice now. For detailed
instructions on where the coolant tank is located
and how to add fluid, refer to Coolant System
Service
on Page 75.

Lubricating Lathe

GEARBOXES MUST

BE FILLED WITH OIL!

LATHE MAY NOT

HAVE OIL INCLUDED!

Refer to the Lubrication

Section in this Manual

for Recommended

Oil Type.

The headstock, quick-change gearbox, and apron
oil reservoirs must have the proper amount of oil
in them before the lathe can be operated for the
first time.

Damage caused to the bearings and gears from
running the lathe without oil in the reservoirs
will not be covered under warranty. Refer to the
Lubrication section, beginning on Page 68, for
details on how to check, add oil, and prime the
headstock oil pump.

In addition to the reservoirs, we also recommend
that you lubricate all other points on the
machine at this time. This can be accomplished
by following the maintenance schedule on
Page 66.

Note:

If this lathe was shipped with oil in the

reservoirs, do not change that oil until after the
test run and spindle break-in procedures.
