Receiving
The shipment should be thoroughly inspected as
soon as it is received. The signed bill of lading is
acknowledgement by the carrier of receipt in good con-
dition of shipment covered by our invoice.
If any of the goods called for on this bill of lading are
shorted or damaged, do not accept them until the car-
rier makes a notation on the freight bill of the shorted
or damaged goods. Do this for your own protection.
NOTIFY THE CARRIER AT ONCE if any hidden loss or
damage is discovered after receipt and request the car-
rier to make an inspection. If the carrier will not do so,
prepare a signed statement to the effect that you have
notified the carrier (on a specific date) and that the car-
rier has failed to comply with your request.
IT IS DIFFICULT TO COLLECT FOR LOSS OR DAM-
AGE AFTER YOU HAVE GIVEN THE CARRIER A CLEAR
RECEIPT.
File your claim with the carrier promptly. Support your
claim with copies of the bill of lading, freight bill,
invoice, and photographs, if available.
Although AMMCO’s responsibility ceases upon deliv-
ery of the shipment to the carrier, we will gladly assist
in tracing lost shipments. Our willingness to assist in
every possible manner does not make AMMCO
responsible for collection of claims or replacement of
lost or damaged materials. Shipping damage claims will
not be handled under warranty.
Wiring Requirements
Grounding: This lathe should be electrically grounded
to protect the operator from shock.
Cord-connected Lathes: The lathe is equipped with an
approved 3-conductor cord and a 3-prong grounding
type plug to fit the proper grounding type receptacle. If
your lathe is for use on 115 volts, it has a plug as illus-
trated in Fig. A1. If used on 220 volts it will have a plug
as shown in Fig. A2.
Use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong
grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which
accept the lathe’s plug.
Replace or repair damaged or worn cords immediately
AMMCO electrical and electronic based machines are
designed for nominal line voltages with variations of
ten percent (10%) around the nominal, i.e.; 115 volt
input could vary from 103 volts on the low side to 127
volts on the high side. These percentages also apply to
220 VAC, 480 VAC based products, etc.
Any line voltage lower or higher than ten percent
(10%) of nominal will cause problems with the
machine. If the machine receives below or above the
design limit, erratic operation will ensue with a degra-
dation in component reliability and life. By law the
power company must supply power within the ten per-
cent (10%) limit of nominal line. It is up to the customer
to see that his facility is properly wired and is supplying
power to the machine within its design limits.
Inadequate voltages and wiring will only produce prob-
lems.
Installation
Set-Up - If you ordered a brake bench with your lathe,
use the assembly instructions supplied with it. After
assembly, the bench should be leveled and bolted
down with 3/8" or 7/16" bolts or lag screws. Clean the
lathe accessories with solvent, install mounting hooks
and hang the items on the accessory storage board.
Note: A light film of oil should be put on all adapters
to protect the machined surfaces from rust, refer to the
CARE OF ARBORS AND ADAPTERS section for com-
plete care.
Installing the lathe - Unbolt the lathe from the ship-
ping pallet and place it on the bench. Bolt the lathe to
the bench with the hardware provided. Make sure the
motor switch is OFF before plugging the machine in.
Lubrication - Remove the shipping plug and insert
the oil dip stick, and check oil level, Fig. A3. 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.
