When machining castings, sand from the casting process and the abrasive properties of cast aluminum and cast iron will shorten pump life unless a special filter is used in addition to the 100 mesh suction filter. Contact Haas Automation for recommendations.

Machining of ceramics and the like voids all warranty claims for wear and is done entirely at the customer's risk. Increased maintenance schedules are absolutely required with abrasive swarf. The coolant must be changed more often, and the tank thoroughly cleaned of sediment on the bottom. A larger coolant tank is recommended.

Shortened pump life, reduction of pressure and increased maintenance are normal and to be expected in abrasive environments and is not covered by warranty.

Ensure all moving part are thoroughly greased.

Check for excessive wear on jaws.

Check T-nuts for excessive wear.

Check front retaining bolts for damage.

Chucks should be broken in according to the manufactures' specifications.

Caution: Lack of grease significantly reduces clamping force and can result in chatter, improper clamping, or thrown parts.
