When using a lifting apparatus to move the machine, always lift from both of these designat- ed rings. Lifting at any other location, or from only one ring at a time, could cause the machine to become unbalanced and tip over. A hydraulic pal- let jack or fork lift can also be used. Damage from improper moving methods may void the warranty.

Failure to lift and move the machine correctly could result in serious personal injury and/or damage to the machine

When the machine is in its final location, replace the lifting rings with the star knobs as shown in Figure 4. Be sure to place the 10mm flat washers and 10mm lock washers on the star knobs thread- ed post before installing. These washers help the star knobs remain secure and protect the finish of the machine.

Keep the lifting rings in a safe location where they will not become lost. These rings will need to be re-installed if the machine is ever to be lifted and moved in the future.
