Assembly
With the exception of the handwheel handles, the
lathe is shipped fully assembled.
To install the handwheel handles, thread the
large handle into the carriage handwheel and the
small handle into the cross slide handwheel, as
shown in
Figure 18 .
To level the machine, use a precision level to
make sure the bedways are level from side-to-
side and from front-to-back.
— If using the included leveling pads (see
Figure 16 ), place them under the six
leveling jack bolt locations, then adjust
the bolts to level the lathe.
— If using mounting hardware that does not
allow for adjustment, level the lathe by
placing metal shims between the lathe
base and the floor before bolting it down.

Bolting to Concrete Floors
The headstock, quick-change gearbox, and apron
oil reservoirs must have the proper amount of oil
in them before the lathe can be operated for the
first time.
Damage caused by running the lathe without
oil in the reservoirs is not be covered under
warranty. Refer to the
Lubrication section,

and Anchor
Lag screws and anchors, or anchor studs
(
below ), are two popular methods for bolting
machinery to a concrete floor. We suggest you
research the many options and methods for
mounting your machine and choose the best one
for your specific application.
Most electrical codes require that machines
connected to the power source by fixed
conduit MUST be secured to the floor.
