Moving & Placing

Lathe

The Model G0694 is a heavy machine (approx.

580lbs.) Serious per- sonal injury may occur if safe moving methods are not used. To be safe, get assistance and use power lifting equipment

rated for at least 750 lbs. to move the shipping crate and remove the machine from the crate.

To move and place your lathe:

1.Remove the top crate from the shipping pal- let.

2.To help balance the load, lock the outboard tool rest assembly as close as possible to the lathe body, then move the tailstock and cen- ter tool rest assembly to the extreme right of the bedway.

3.Remove the small items from the shipping pallet, then remove the lag bolts securing the lathe to the pallet.

4.Feed the lifting straps under the bedway, as shown in Figure 6, making sure they spread as wide as possible.

5.With assistance, steady the load and lift the lathe from the shipping pallet.

—If the load is unbalanced, immediately lower the lathe and reposition the lifting straps as necessary. Repeat this step until you are satisfied that the load is safely bal- anced.

6.Have an assistant steady the load to keep it from swaying as you lift the lathe only enough to clear the shipping pallet and any floor obstacles, then move it to its working loca- tion.
