Maintenance Instructions

WARNING

Make sure machine is unplugged from power
source before performing maintenance or mak-
ing any adjustment.

Oil System Maintenance

Periodic cleaning of oil reservoir and filter screens will
promote proper operation of machine. Replace cutting oil
when it becomes dirty or contaminated.

1. Remove and clean top chip pan screen.

2. Remove and clean secondary screen from chip pan.

3. Remove drain plug and drain cutting oil.

4. Clean oil filter screen and remove sludge built up in oil

reservoir.

DO NOT operate machine with oil filter in

bottom of oil reservoir removed. This could cause chips to
clog oil line and/or damage the oil pump.

NOTE! RIDGID Thread Cutting Oil produces high qual-

ity threads and maximizes die life. For informa-
tion concerning its use and handling, refer to the
labels on the oil containers. Disposal of the oil
should be in accordance with government reg-
ulations.

Spindle Bearing Lubrication

(Figure 22)

Figure 22 – Spindle Bearing Lubrication

Main spindle bearing lubrication ports are located on top
and at each end of the spindle housing.

Bearings are oil impregnated when manufactured and
will serve to lubricate spindle until scheduled mainte-
nance is performed.

Lubrication with 10 drops of SAE 20 Weight Nondetergent
oil is recommended every six months (more often under
heavy machine usage).

Front Jaw Insert and Centering Finger
Replacement

1. Run machine in the OPEN position to open jaws.

2. With machine OFF and unplugged, remove front

cover.

3. Loosen screw that holds jaw insert and centering

finger in place. This should allow jaw insert to separate
from jaw assembly. (Figures 23A & B)

4. On a workbench, drive out top pins holding centering

finger in place and install new centering finger.

NOTE! When driving pin out on workbench, do not bend

centering finger.
