Lifting & Moving
This machine and its parts are heavy! Serious
personal injury may occur if safe moving
methods are not used. To reduce the risk of a
lifting or dropping injury, ask others for help,
and use power equipment and guide rods.
Only move and lift this lathe using proper lifting
equipment and licensed professionals who are
trained at doing such tasks. Each piece of lifting
equipment must be rated for far more than
the shipping weight of the lathe because of the
dynamic loads that may be encountered.
To lift and move lathe:
1.
Disassemble shipping crate to completely
expose shipping pallet.
2.
Unbolt and remove rear splash guard using
two lifting bolt holes at top edge.
Note
: Depending on accessories installed you
may have to remove more lathe components
from bed. However, we do not recommend
removing factory installed chucks.
3.
Remove loose parts from shipping pallet.
4.
Move lathe to its prepared location while it is
still attached to shipping pallet.
5.
Unbolt lathe from shipping pallet.
6.
Protect bed and any other lathe surface from
potential damage from lifting equipment.
7.
Inspect lifting or hoisting machinery, chains,
straps, and bars to verify that all equipment
is operational and adequately rated.
8.
Remove four 2

⁄
2
" diameter lifting hole covers
in lathe bed and insert the two lifting bars.
9.
Fasten lifting equipment and position
blocking in a similar manner as shown in
Figure 14 to keep lifting straps away from
leadscrew, feed rod, and spindle rod to
prevent bending them during lifting.
10.
To balance load for lifting, move tailstock
and carriage to end of bedway, then lock
them in place.
11.
Fasten a spreader between straps or chains
so that they will stay apart when lifting (see
Figure 15).
