Step 2
The second step is removing the machine from the skid.
Warning
This machine is very heavy and must be handled with great care to avoid personal injury
and/or damage to the machine. Get some help! It is very difficult to get the machine off the
skid by yourself.
Warning
Judicious use of the blocks and levers can make the job a lot easier.
*Remove the 4 x 4 block from under the rear panel of the machine and move the machine
slowly rearward until it just balances. Then let the rear edge of the machine down to contact
the floor and continue moving the machine rearward until it is resting firmly on the edge of the
skid and is in no danger of going over balance to the rear.
*Place the 4 x 4 under the front panel of the machine.
*Assemble a nut on each of two (2) hex screws and adjust them up against the heads of the
screws.
*Now you can install the two (2) leveling bolts.
*Install the two (2) cap screws, one (1) on each of the right and the left sides in the extreme
corners of the front panel of the machine. The holes where the screws fit into are threaded,
and the screws should be adjusted up sufficiently to bring the nuts into contact with the base
of the machine. They need not be tightened at this time.
*Remove the 4 x 4 from under the front panel.
*Balance the machine on its rear edge and remove the skid from under the machine. It helps
here to have someone pull the pallet away.
*Lower the machine down to the floor.
*Now assemble the third wheel, bolt, washer and bushing into the handle (ref. part no. Q1190
fig. 5) as shown in figs. 5 & 6.
*Then using two cap screws and self-locking nuts, install the pivot post (part no.C188) as
shown in figs. 5 & 6.
*The nuts should be adjusted to a snug position on the bracket so as not to close the bracket,
thus binding the pivot post.
*Using the wrenches provided, adjust the leveling screws in the corners of the front panel until
the machine table sets at the same distance from the floor at both the front and rear and both
screws are bearing the load equally.
*Tighten the nut, on each of the screws, up against the machine base. It will be necessary to
hold each screw with a wrench so that it does not turn as the nut is tightened, wrench tight,
against the machine base.
