Grizzly G0456 Mounting Lathe, Components and Hardware Needed Qty, To mount the lathe bed

Mounting Lathe

The Model G0456 is an extremely heavy machine. Serious per- sonal injury may occur if safe moving methods are not followed. To be safe, use assistance and power equipment when moving the machine. If you are unfamiliar with safe machine lifting prac- tices, hire professionals.

The lathe bed and stand are separated for ship- ping safety purposes. We recommend positioning the stand in the final location for the lathe before mounting the lathe bed. L-brackets are also pro- vided for floor mounting.

When lifting the lathe, use a forklift and lifting straps—and have another person on the ground to steady the lathe while moving, so the lathe doesn't swing uncontrollably.

To mount the lathe bed:

1.Move the stand to where you plan to locate the lathe.

2.Using a forklift, lift the lathe bed onto the stand by placing the lifting straps through the center of the bed and around the cast- ing webs, as shown in Figure 5. The strap closest to the headstock should be wrapped around the forklift forks a few times to com- pensate for the heavier weight load on that side.

3.Fasten the lathe bed to the stand with the cap screws and washers.

4.Install the L-brackets, as shown in Figure 6, with the hex bolts, lock washers, and remain- ing flat washers.
