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 forklift (or other
lifting equipment) rated for
weight of this machine.
Power lifting equipment rated for at least 50%
more than the weight of the machine and at least
two other people are required to lift and place the
mill.
To lift and move the mill:
1. Remove crate from shipping pallet then,
while still on pallet, move machine to installa-
tion location.
2. Rotate ram 180° so headstock faces back-
wards (see
Figure 9), then rotate head
upright.
Refer to
Head Tilt on Page 26 and Ram
Movement on Page 27 for detailed instruc-
tions to help with this step.
Figure 9. Using lifting straps to lift and move
mill.
4. Place lifting straps under ram and connect to
a safety hook, as illustrated in
Figure 9.
Note: Place protective material between
straps and mill to protect ram and ways, and
to prevent cutting lifting straps.
5. Unbolt mill from shipping pallet.
6. With other people steadying the load to keep
it from swaying, lift machine a couple of
inches.
— If mill tips to one side, lower it to the pallet
and adjust ram or table to balance load.
Make sure to retighten lock levers and
bolts before lifting mill again.
— If mill lifts evenly, remove shipping pallet
and lower mill.
Note: After repositioning ram and headstock,
make sure they are locked in place to prevent
unexpected movement while lifting.
3. Torque the four turret lock bolts (two on each
side of ram, as shown in
Figure 10) to 47 ft/
lbs. This will help keep ram from unexpect-
edly moving from force of lifting straps.
