Adjusting process for leveling machine
-
Put pads C (Figure B) under each of six points.
-
Loose set screw A (Figure B)
-
Insert a pin wrench into the hole B. raise or lower by turning (C.W. or C.C.W)
-
Tighten set screw A (Figure B) to lock.
-

Figure C - Lifting machine
Lifting machine, arrange rope or cable as shown in (Figure C), and check to see if the correct balance has been obtained. Then insert pads of soft cloth between the edges of the rope and machine. The net weight of this machine is approx 1000 kgs (2200 lbs). So the rope or cable must be rated at 3000 lbs capacity. |

| A.) ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS |
| The CT-606CNC TOOLROOM LATHE is shipped completely wired and assembled. Push the "A" (Figure 1) button, after that, hold handle "B" (Figure 1) and rotate it to the left side. Then turn cam switch "C" (Figure) to the reverse way, check motor voltage and open the switch case cover, connect the wires from the power source to the terminals (R.S.T) and ground connection is made at the "G" (Figure 2) which is the electric switch case. Push start button to start controller and make spindle run. The spindle should rotate counterclockwise when viewed from the tailstock end of the machine. If the spindle does not turn in the correct direction, turn the machine off. Disconnect electric power source and interchanges any two leads until the turning direction is correct. When the spindle is rotation correctly, secure switch case cover. |

| B.) LUBRICATION |
| Proper lubrication supplied carefully , will maintain the life and performance of the machine for a long period. Therefore, lubricate the machine with a high quality lubricant. Fill with Mobil Vactra Oil No.2 or equivalent in oil reservoir and check oil level usually, please keep oil more then "Min" line (see figure 3). |

| C.) COLLET CLOSER REMOVAL |
| Running the machine with the collet closer and not having a collet locked in place will damage the collet closer. Remove the collet closer when using chucks, face plates, or spindle nose type fixtures. The collet closer should be removed often for cleaning to prevent loading of chips between collet closer tube and inside of spindle at rear and collet threads. Removal method is¡GPull out pin "L" (Figure 4). Slide draw tube out of the spindle. Do not turn the adjusting nut "N" (Figure 4). It is keyed to the spindle. To remove slide it off the end of the spindle. Do not remove collet closer by removing screw "S" (Figure 4), this screw has been adjusted at the factory for proper operation of the collet closer. |

| D.) COLLET CLOSER REPLACEMENT |
| Before replacement of the closer, clean inside of the headstock spindle and outside diameter at rear of spindle where Adjusting Nut "N" (Figure 5) is located. Apply a film of light oil on rear of spindle Do not force Adjusting Nut "N" (Figure 5) on spindle. If Adjusting Nut "N" (Figure 5) fits to tight, remove and check for burrs or scratches, then replace. Clean collet closer tube inside and out apply a film of light oil on slip surface "T"(Figure 5) of the collet closer tube, replace collect loser and insert Link Pin "L" (Figure 5). |
