2.Position the lifting straps under the ram, as shown in Figure 10, with padding between the straps and the mill to protect the ram way.

3.Lift the mill slowly to make sure the hook and lifting straps are secure and the mill is lifting evenly. Lift the mill only enough to clear the shipping pallet and floor obstacles.

—If the mill tips in one direction, lower the mill to the ground, then adjust the ram or table to balance the weight. Re-tighten all locks before lifting the mill again.

—If the mill lifts evenly, move it to its perma- nent location.

Note: Have your assistants steady the load as you move it to keep it from swinging.

4.Use a precision level to make sure the table is level. Shim between the base and the floor as necessary to avoid warping or cracking the cast iron base.

Only use lifting safety hook, chain or lifting straps, and power lifting equipment rated for at least 4000 lbs. and in good working con- dition. Only raise the mill enough to clear shipping pallet and floor obstacles. If the mill falls or tips over while moving it, serious personal injury and property damage could result.

NOTICE

We strongly recommend securing your machine to the floor if it is hardwired to the power source. Consult with your electrician to ensure compliance with local codes.

Mounting to Shop

Floor

Although not required, we recommend that you mount your new machine to the floor. Because this is an optional step and floor materials may vary, floor mounting hardware is not included. Whichever option you choose, it is necessary to level your machine with a precision level.

Bolting to Concrete Floors

Lag shield anchors with lag bolts and anchor studs (Figure 11) are two popular methods for anchoring an object to a concrete floor. We sug- gest you research the many options and methods for mounting your machine and choose the best that fits your specific application.

NOTICE

Anchor studs are stronger and more per- manent alternatives to lag shield anchors; however, they will stick out of the floor, which may cause a tripping hazard if you decide to move your machine.
