lifting & placing

heavy lift!

straining or crushing injury

may occur from improperly

lifting machine or some of

its parts. to reduce this risk,

get help from other people

and use a fork lift (or other

lifting equipment) rated for

weight of this machine.

do not attempt to lift or move this lathe without
using the proper lifting equipment (such as forklift
or crane) or the necessary assistance from other
people. refer to

needed for setup on page 16

for details.

to lift and move the lathe:

1. remove the shipping crate top and sides,

then remove the chip pan, 4-jaw chuck, face-
plate, and toolbox from the shipping pallet.

2. position the chip pan on the selected mount-

ing surface and use it as a template to mark
the hole locations for the mounting hardware
(refer to

leveling & mounting on page 21).

3. unbolt the lathe from the shipping pallet.

5. Wrap the lifting straps around the bed and

between the leadscrew and the bedway, as
shown in

figure 14, to help prevent bending

the leadscrew during lifting.

6. Attach the lifting straps to the power lifting

equipment, have an assistant steady the
load, then lift it just enough to clear any
obstacles and move it to its mounting posi-
tion.

7. properly mount the lathe as instructed in the

mounting subsection on page 21.

4. to balance the load for lifting, move the

tailstock and carriage to the extreme right
end of the bedway, then lock them in place.

note:

Before attempting to move the car-

riage, make sure the carriage lock is loose
and the half nut is disengaged.

only use lifting straps and power lifting

equipment rated for at least 500 lbs. and in

good working condition. if the lathe falls or

tips over while moving it, serious personal

injury and property damage could result.
