QUESTION: Severe oil leak

Hi Oil started gushing out of unit on the crosslide. It empties the reservoir within minutes. Help I have no diagrams for this oil leak.

    Tom,

    It sounds like someone has adjusted the oil pump. There will be either one or two turn knobs on your oiler. One is for the time between oiling cycles; this is the one that has probably been turned down. This needs to be set on about 60min. The other would be the length of time the oiler actually oils; this should be set on something between 10-15 sec.

    If you have any other questions just give me a call at 800-654-3262 ext. 140
