For Machines Mfg. Since 3/11

16-Speed Gearhead Lathe

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 65.

Note: If this lathe was shipped with oil in the 

reservoirs, do not change that oil until after the 

test run and break-in procedures.

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 subsection on Page 72.

After you have completed all previous setup 

instructions and circuit requirements, the 

machine is ready to be connected to the power 

supply.

Connect a power cord that meets the Circuit 

Requirements on Page 18, as instructed later 

in this subsection. Attach a locking NEMA L15-

30 plug as directed by the plug manufacture, 

and insert it into a matching receptacle 

that is connected to a circuit that meets the 

requirements listed on Page 18.

Due to the complexity required for planning, 

bending, and installing the conduit necessary for 

a code-compliant hardwire setup, an electrician 

or other qualified person 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 25) 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.
