Hoisting and Leveling this machine
WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LIFT THE LATHE BY YOURSELF.
This tool weighs over 800 lb., and cannot be lifted safely by one or several strong men. Be sure this lathe is balanced on the hoist or lift you will use to move it before moving.
1.Before hoisting, lifting or moving this machine, move the tailstock and apron to the far right end of the bedway (away from the headstock) and lock them in place there. This will help to balance the overall mass of the machine near the center.
2.Use pads (not included) to protect the lathe from damage by the equipment used to hoist it.
3.Use a hydraulic lift, fork lift, or hoist to position the lathe onto the bench (or SKU 95647 Stand).
4.When the lathe is positioned on the oil tray and bench, align the mounting holes and drop in the mounting bolts.
5.Check the level of the machine. Using a spirit level, check to be sure that the bed of the lathe is level both horizontally and front to back. If there is any out of level, correct it now. Depending on your installation, use the angled iron levelers to adjust the machine into exact level front to back and side to side. Check both ends of the tool before being sat- isfied. Be sure the machine is level, positioned solidly, and is resistant to vibration.
6.Fasten the lathe to the bench and oil tray (FF) by inserting a bolt through a lock washer from the inside of the bench and upward through the oil tray and lathe. Fasten with a washer and nut. Repeat this for each of the four mounting holes in the headstock, and both mounting holes in the tailstock. Tighten securely. Recheck and readjust level if required.
Note: Periodically recheck the level of the machine to ensure that it remains level while in use.
