14.3 Attach runout indicator to the vehicle wheel
suspension, turn on the 800 brake lathe, and make the
runout adjustment required in the same manner as
previously described in section 10.3 on page 15.
14.4 When making tool holder adjustments in the
inverted position use the insert adjustment knob ref-
erence dot as shown in the photo below.
14.5 Inspect the rotor after machining to verify that
the runout and thickness meet manufacturer’s specifi-
cations.
14.6 Remove the chatter band and hub adapter.

Oiling
15.0 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 periodi-
cally.
Drain the oil annually and refill to the proper level
with clean EP-80-90 gear oil. To drain the oil, remove
the socket head drain plug located on the top of the
lathe above the spindle.
15.1 General Lubrication — Oil the ways of the
head assembly periodically. Lub points located on
either side of head assembly.
15.2 Lubricate feed actuator plunger with light oil
(3-4 pumps using oiler) periodically. Lubrication point
located at center of feed drive assembly cover.
Note: Stand cylinder requires no lubrication.
Cleaning
15.3 Keep the lathe as clean as possible for trou-
ble 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 may be driven
between machined parts and into bearings causing
undue wear.
15.4 Although stand does not require any specific
service, it is a good idea to periodically wipe the
counter balancer cylinder shaft clean of debris and
apply a light coat of oil.
Care of Hub Adapters
Although the hub adapters are made of top
grade steel and are turned, and hardened,
to close tolerances, care should be taken in
their use, handling, and storage.
15.5 Remove the lathe and hub adapter after
machining a rotor and wipe them clean.
15.6 Regularly inspect the faces of the hub
adapters for nicks and scratches, correct any flaw with
a fine stone. If the damage cannot be corrected,
replace the hub adapter. Handle the hub adapters with
care and store them in the hub adapter holder or on
individual hooks. DO NOT throw them into a box. The
hub adapters are designed for mounting rotors only,
MISUSE WILL YIELD POOR RESULTS.
