I recently purchaced a used Grizzly G0709 lathe. I thought I would change all the fluids on it right away before I used it. I drained the headstock out and carefully measured out the 7 liters of hydraulic oil that the manual calls for. I ended up with oil running out of both ends at the spider and behind the chuck. 7 Liters is clearly spelled out in the manual. So hoping I wasn't going to end up replacing seals I got online and found another G0709 manual that clearly states headstock capacity is 4 liters. So I drained the extra 3 liters out and everything seems fine. The sight glass shows full. I was wondering if anyone else has run into this issue. The second manual said it was for machines built after 5/2011. I have no idea when my machine was built the tag on it is blank.
