This is an extremely heavy machine. Serious personal injury may occur if safe moving methods are not followed. To be safe, you will need assistance and a forklift or a hoist when removing the machine from the crate. Use a chain or a lifting strap with a minimum of 500 lbs. lifting capacity. If the chain or lifting strap breaks, serious personal injury may occur.

Mounting

We recommend mounting your new machine to the floor. Because floor materials may vary, floor mounting hardware is not included. You may also mount your machine to a mobile base (such as shown in Figure 7) with wheel locking or wheel retracting capabilities that prevent rolling when not in use.

Bolting to Concrete Floors

Lag shield anchors with lag bolts (Figure 8) and anchor studs are two popular methods for anchor- ing an object to a concrete floor. We suggest you research the many options and methods for mounting your machine and choose the best that fits your specific application.
