SECTION 10: MAINTENANCE
Lubrication
Bearings - Lubrication for the bearings occurs
as the machine runs and oil circulates from the
gear box. However, the bearings should be lubri-
cated through the ball fittings indicated by the
arrows in
Figure 53 . Apply oil every 3 hours of
actual use and just before starting the machine
each day.
Your Model G4015Z will function best when it is
clean and well lubricated. Take the time to wipe
down and oil the machine before each use. We
recommend using ISO 68 or SAE 20W non-
detergent oil unless otherwise specified. Ball fit-
tings will require the use of an oil gun. Depress
the ball with the tip of the gun and squirt a little oil
under pressure. Make sure to clean the machine
after each use.
Apron and Cross slide - Apply lubrication
directly to the dovetail ways of the apron and
cross slide.
External Gearing - Apply only a minimal
amount of oil to the teeth of the end gears after
assembly or each day. Avoid getting oil on the
belt or pulleys when lubricating.
Remove the gear indicated by the arrow in
Figure 52, and apply a few drops of oil to the
bushing once a day.

Compound - This slide is supplied with ball fit-
tings on its top surface and should be oiled at the
same time as the apron.
See Figure 51.
Disconnect power to the
machine when perform-
ing any adjustments or
maintenance. Failure to
do this may result in seri-
ous personal injury.
