11. With lathe still supported by lifting straps, use
forklift to raise lathe 4 to 5 inches in prepara-
tion for installing machine feet (see
Figure
21).
12. Remove top hex nut from feet, insert feet in
mounting holes in leg (see
Figure 21), then
thread top hex nut back on. Do not tighten
hex nuts yet.
13. Lower machine onto floor, place level on
lathe bed, and make necessary adjustments
so bed is level from side-to-side and front-to-
back. This process will help bedways remain
straight and flat.
Note: For best results, use a precision level
that is at least 12" long and sensitive
enough to show a distance movement
when a 0.003" shim (approximately the
thickness of one sheet of standard news-
paper) is placed under one end of the
level.
— If you are using machine feet, adjust top
and bottom hex nuts on each leg to level
bed; then tighten hex nuts to secure these
adjustments.
— If you are bolting lathe to floor, use shims
under legs to level bed; then tighten
mounting fasteners.
14. Tighten hex nuts installed on chisel pan
mounting rod in
Step 3 so they are flush
against the inside of each leg. Then tighten
lock nuts to completely secure mounting rod.

16. Loosen M6-1 x 8 set screw on chuck guard
outside lock collar and remove collar from
shaft (see

lar moves freely (see

spring pin settles into detent on shaft (see
Figure 23).
19. Slide both lock collars up against chuck
guard arm and tighten (see
