Default spindle temp

The Precise S-65 spindle I recently acquired is grease lubed and sealed
and rated to 45,000 RPM. The documentation for it is very insistent that
the proper warm-up procedure be followed every time the spindle is
started from cold.

And, I'll bet they don't use ordinary axle grease from the
auto parts store in there, either!

So, what IS the start-up procedure? I have a 54K Precise spindle,
and no manual or frequency converter. I will eventually build a
converter to drive it.
