DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LIFT THE UPPER TRAY OUT OF THE PACKING CASE
MANUALLY, USE A MECHANICAL LIFTING DEVICE. IF MECHANICAL
LIFTING IS NOT POSSIBLE TWO PEOPLE ARE REQUIRED TO LIFT THE
TRAY.
This installation procedure provides detail on setting up the AX14-60 in a horizontal
position. If the machine is to be set up in the vertical or inverted position follow this
set up procedure
but extreme care must be taken due to the greater risk of the
machine falling off the flange during the setting and adjusting procedure.
If the machine is to be used in a vertical mode the machine must be balanced (see
Section 5.2.7). Balancing is not required if the machine is to be operated
horizontally or inverted.
5.2.2 Mounting base installation
The mounting base assembly consists of a central hub, extension legs, collars, ram
bolts and jaw assemblies with setting straps. When using the correct configuration
of extension legs the base can be located in the flange bore and locked in position
by tightening the jaws against the wall of the bore. The base is fitted to the flange
as follows:
THE BASE CASTINGS WEIGH 10KG
(14” base) and 28KG (20” base). DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO MANUALLY LIFT THE BASE ASSEMBLY ALWAYS USE A
MECHANICAL LIFTING DEVICE.
ALWAYS USE SETTING STRAPS WHEN INSTALLING THE MOUNTING BASE.
