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.
Power lifting equipment, steel rods (refer to Page 11), and at least two other people are required to lift and place the mill.
To move your machine into position:
1.remove outside crating material from ship- ping crate, but leave machine bolted to pallet (for now).
2.Move machine next to its intended installation location, then unbolt it from pallet.
3.to help balance machine during moving, position table as close to column as possible, and adjust headstock to its lowest position.
4.Insert steel rods into holes in stand, as shown in Figure 5.

Note: Before next step, make sure all locks are tight to avoid sudden shifts which could unbalance machine.
