7.At each end of the lathe, have assistants connect guide rods to safely keep the lathe from swaying or tipping during lifting.

When lifting the lathe with straps, the load will be top heavy. Take extra care to keep the load balanced vertically and only lift it far enough to remove the shipping pallet.

8.Raise the lathe a couple of inches and check the balance of the load.

—If the load is not safely balanced, immediately lower the lathe and resolve the issue before attempting to lift it again.

9.Raise the lathe enough to clear the shipping pallet, carefully remove the pallet, then lower the lathe into position.

You must level your machine and either use the included foot pads and leveling hardware or bolt and shim your lathe to the floor. Because mounting your lathe to the floor with permanent hardware is an optional step and floor materials may vary, floor mounting hardware is not included.

Leveling

For accurate turning results and to prevent warping the cast iron bed and ways, the lathe bedways MUST be leveled from side-to-side and from front-to-back on both ends.

Re-check the bedways 24 hours after installation, two weeks after that, and then annually to make sure they remain level.

Leveling machinery helps precision components, such as bedways, remain straight and flat during the lifespan of the machine. Components on a machine that is not level may slowly twist due to the dynamic loads placed on the machine during operation.

For best results, use a precision level that is at least 12" long and sensitive enough to show a distinct movement when a 0.003" shim (approximately the thickness of one sheet of standard newspaper) is placed under one end of the level.

See the figure below for an example of a high precision level.
