INSTRUCTIONS FOR OPERATING
MODEL FL BORING MACHINE, ENGINE CYLINDER
RECEIPT FROM CARRIER
Inspect before unpacking. If there is damage or evidence of mishandling in transit, determine the extent of
damage and notify the transit company immediately.
CLEAN MACHINE
Clean the machine thoroughly, removing all dust and grit collected in transit. The rust preventative used on the
machine and all parts may be quickly removed with a cloth dampened in solvent. Clean bottom of machine base
in like manner.
LUBRICATION
Before starting the machine, be sure to oil it properly, using a good grade of medium motor oil in all oil cups.
There is some oil in the main transmission.
To check oil level in the transmission, remove the oil filler plug just in front of the motor and the oil level plug just
below the speed control lever. Pour SAE 30 oil in the upper hole until it runs out of the lower one. Then replace
both plugs.
Oil the sleeve main bearing by putting a few drops of oil in the keyway, when the sleeve is in the UP position. This
will saturate the lower felt which surrounds the sleeve at the bottom. Keep the upper felt saturated by putting oil
around sleeve at top.
Oil the feedscrew and drive shaft occasionally.
CAUTION: DO NOT OVER LUBRICATE AND WIPE OFF ALL SURPLUS OIL TO PREVENT V-BELT SLIP.
MOTOR CURRENT
Be sure the motor is of the proper voltage and cycle for the current available. The motor nameplate will give this
information.
