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. Each piece of lifting equipment must be rated for at least 6800 lbs to support dynamic loads that may be applied while lifting. Refer to Needed for Setup on Page 20 for details.
To lift and move the lathe:
1.Remove the shipping crate top and sides, then remove the small components from the shipping pallet.
2.Move the lathe to its prepared location while it is still attached to the shipping pallet.
3.Unbolt the lathe from the shipping pallet.
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, the half nut is disengaged, and the power feed is disengaged (feed selection lever).
5.remove the splash guard so it does not get damaged when the lathe is raised.
6.Insert round steel bar stock through the four lifting holes (see Figure 16).
Note: To properly support the lathe and avoid damaging lathe components, bar stock should be at least 1" diameter thick and 49" long, so it projects 14" from both sides of the lathe when installed.
