CAUTION!
Failure to properly lubricate the mill will result in the premature failure of bearings, sliding
surfaces & ballscrews
2.15.1 Manual Lubrication
The TRAK mill X & Y way surfaces and ball screws need to be manually lubricated. The
Manual Lube automatically discharges about 4ml of oil
every plunge.
1. At the beginning of each day, manually pull the pump handle.
Note: If the machine has been sitting for a long while, run the machine through the full length of
its travel to ensure lubrication reaches all surfaces.
2. At the beginning of each day, check the oil level in the system. If low, fill with Mobil
Vactra Oil No. 2 or equivalent.
CAUTION!
Failure to manually activate the pump at the beginning of each day and allowing the pump to run
dry may cause severe damage to the TRAK mill way surfaces and ball screws.
