LUBRICATION1. Table Support Bearing -- The FG4000R table is completely supported from below by an integral cast

iron bearing. The bearing table interface runs off a film of oil supplied by a reservoir in the center ofthe base casting. The level of this reservoir must be approximately 1/16” above the surface of the table bearing (or the bottom of the table). Use Part # 794-8011-55 for table lubricant only.

2. The level of the oil under the worktable is checked by removing the large flat head cap screw from the table. A depth gauge is provided with the machine for checking the oil level through this hole in the table. This gauge has been preset at the factor but should be checked each time before use. The overall length of the gauge pin protruding from the round handle should be equal to the thickness of the machine’s table. Figure 13.

GRINDING MOTOR CAUTION: Overgreasing bearings can cause premature bearing and/or motor failure. The amount of grease added should be carefully controlled.

NOTE: If lubrication instructions are shown on the motor nameplate, they will supersede this general instruction.

Motors are pregreased with apolyurea mineral oil NGLI grade 2 type grease unless stated otherwise on the motor nameplate. Some compatible brands of polyurea mineral base type grease are: Chevron SRI#2, Rykon Premium #2, Shell Oil Dolium R or Texaco Polystar RB.

Motors may be greased at 500 hour intervals, adding .30 ounce of recommended grease to each bearing.

Initial Oil Change: The oil in a new speed reducer should be changed at 250 hours of operation.

Subsequent Oil Changes: Under normal conditions, after the initial oil change, the oil should bechanged after every 2,500 hours of operation, or every six months, which ever occurs first. Under severeconditions such as rapid temperature changes, moist, dirty or corrosive environment, it may benecessary to change oil at intervals of one to three months. Periodic examination of oil samples takenfrom the unit will help establish the appropriate interval.

Overfilling or Underfilling: If a speed reducer is overfilled with oil, the energy used in churning the excessive oil can result in overheating. If this occurs, shut down the drive, remove the oil level plug and allow oil to drain until oil ceases to drain from the level hole. Reinstall the oil level plug, and restart the drive. If the speed reducer is underfilled, the resultant friction can cause overheating and possibledamage. If this occurs, fill the speed reducer to the oil level plug hole and check the gearing forexcessive wear.

MACHINE MAINTENANCECoolant Tank Cleaning: Clean tank after every 25-30 flywheels.

Remove pump. Empty, clean and flush tank.Re-install pump, add ½ quart of Part # 794-8011-40 coolant additive and fill with water.

Flywheel E-Z Lock Insert: The flywheel hold down bolt threads into threaded insert located in the center of the turntable hub. This replaceable E-Z Lock Insert is provided so that when the threadsbecome damaged replacement of the entire table spindle is not necessary. It is recommended thatreplacement should be done before the insert’s threads are completely worn out. An E-Z Lock Insert extractor is supplied with the FG4000R (794-8637-45).

Once a month, remove the E-Z Lock Insert (794-8017-44) from the center of the table, and coat the threads with an anti-seize lubricant. This will prevent the insert from becoming permanently lodged in place from rust and grit.

GRINDING HEAD ADJUSTMENTS All grinding should be done with the front edge of the grinding wheel. Insufficient frontward tilt as evidentby sparks from both the front and rear of the wheel may result in abnormal heating of the work piece andnecessitate more frequent dressing of the grinding wheel.

Checking Head Tilt: Tilt may be checked by attaching the Optional Dial Indicator and mountinghardware to grinder motor and lowering head until indicator touches table. Figure 15. Rotate indicator (and motor shaft) from front to back and note direction and amount of indicator travel. Experience has shown that tilting the head of the FG4000R so that the indicator reading at the front is .002” to .004” lower than at the rear is a good starting point. Individual operators may want to increase or decrease tiltdepending upon their own preferences. Increased tilt should be used if higher stock removal rates aredesired.

NOTE: The head tilt on your FG4000R was set at the factory at .004” tilt to the front.

GRINDING HEAD ADJUSTMENTS (continued) Front to Rear Tilt Adjustment: Loosen the four 3/8”-16 nuts approximately ½ to ¾ turn.Figure 16.

Tighten (or loosen) the front adjusting screw to either raise or lower the front of the grinding wheel motor.Tighten (or loosen) the rear adjusting screw to raise or lower the rear of the grinding wheel motor. The correct tilt may be obtained by alternately adjusting these screws.

Tighten the four hex nuts and recheck with the dial indicator that the proper adjustment has been made.

Side-to-Side Tilt Adjustment: This adjustment will affect the flatness and/or parallelism of the ground work piece. Shim between the motor and the motor mount bars. Figure 16. The dial indicator readingshould be .000” when swung from one side to the other.

GRINDING HEAD ADJUSTMENTS (continued) Leadscrew Backlash Adjustment: The amount of backlash in the leadscrew and nut combination may be adjusted by tightening or loosening the cap screw through the bronze leadscrew nut. Tightening thecap screw in the bronze nut decreases the amount of backlash. Figure 17.

Figure 17

Dovetail Ways Gib Adjustment: If it becomes necessary to adjust the gibs on the dovetail ways it can be done using a 3/16” hex wrench and a 9/16” open end wrench. Loosen the hex nuts then turn the setscrews in just until there is resistance. Figure 18. While holding the set screw from turning, tighten thehex lock nut. When all screws are properly adjusted there should be no side-to-side play in the slide and the handwheel should turn easily with only light resistance.
