AMMCO 7000 Disc Rotor Lathe - Manual (Page 18)

Maintenance and Service
Note: Refer to LATHE COMPONENTS.
Oiling
The lathe is shipped from the factory with the correct amount
and type of oil. Refill as necessary with EP-80-90 gear oil and
check the oil level often., Fig. C 1.
Every 500 hours drain the oil and refill to the dipstick level with
clean EP-80-90 gear oil. To drain the oil, remove the socket head
drain plug located on the front of the lathe to the right of the
cross feed assembly, Fig. C 2.
Cross Feed - Once a month pump automotive chassis grease
into the cross feed grease fitting until it begins to come out of
the relief slot at the base of the fitting. CAUTION: Use a HAND
GREASE GUN ONLY, a high pressure gun can burst the lathe
casting, Fig. C 3.
Cleaning
Keep the lathe as clean as possible for trouble free operation
as well as safety and longer lathe life. Use a brush to sweep
metal chips and dust off the lathe. DO NOT USE COMPRESSED
AIR TO BLOW THE LATHE CLEAN. Chips and dust could be
driven between machined parts and into bearings causing
undue wear.
