To change the coolant:
1. 
  Position the coolant nozzle over the back of 
the backsplash so that it is pointing behind 
the lathe.
2.
  Place the 5-gallon bucket behind the lathe 
and under the coolant nozzle. If you are 
using the optional hose, connect it to the 
nozzle and place it in the bucket. Otherwise, 
you may need to have another person hold 
the bucket up to the nozzle to prevent 
coolant from splashing out.
3.
  Turn the coolant pump ON and pump the 
old fluid out of the reservoir. Turn the pump 
OFF immediately after the fluid stops 
flowing.
Adding Fluid
1.
   DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2. 
  Remove the vented access cover from the 
rear of the right stand, then slide the tank 
out, as shown in Figure 113.
Running the coolant pump without adequate 
fluid in the tank may permanently damage it, 
which will not be covered under warranty.
3.
  Pour coolant into the tank until it is nearly 
full.
4.
  Slide the tank back into the cabinet and 
replace the access cover.
Changing Coolant
When you replace the old coolant, take the time 
to thoroughly clean out the chip drawer, catch 
tray, and fluid tank. The entire job only takes 
about a 
1
2
 hour when you are prepared with the 
proper materials and tools. Make sure to dispose 
of old fluid according to federal, state, and fluid 
manufacturer's requirements.

5.
  Remove the vented access cover from the 
rear of the right stand, then slide the tank 
out.
6.
  To enable the remaining fluid to be poured 
out in the next step, disconnect the fluid hose 
from the pump (see Figure 113).
Note:
 The electrical conduit was purposely 
left long, so the tank can be removed and 
dumped out without disconnecting the wires 
from the pump.
7.
 
Pour the remaining coolant into the 5-gallon 
bucket and close the lid.
8.
  Clean all the sludge out of the bottom of the 
tank and then flush it clean. Use the second 
bucket to hold the waste and make sure to 
seal the lid closed when done.
 
Dispose of the old coolant and swarf 
according to federal, state, and fluid 
manufacturer's requirements.
