To lift and move the lathe, do these steps:
1.
Wrap two lifting straps around the bedway pedestals
and route them behind the feed rod, control rod, and
the lead screw, as shown in
Figure
9.
2.
Move the apron toward the right to help balance the
load, as shown in
Figure
9.
3.
Position the chip pan on top of the base assembly so
that the six lathe mounting holes align with top holes
of the cabinets.
4.
Un-bolt the lathe from the pallet
.
5.
Slowly raise the lathe from the pallet, and move it
over the cabinet base to your prepared location.
6.
Position the lathe so that the six M12-1.75 x 40
hex bolts and flat washers can be inserted through
the chip pan and partially threaded, but not fully
tightened, into the mounting holes of the cabinets
(see
Figure
10).
7.
Shim between the lathe and cabinet base as required
to make the ways level at all four corner locations as
indicated with a machinist's level.
8.
Fully tighten the six hex bolts to secure the lathe to
the cabinet base.
9.
For best results, recheck the ways in 24 hours to
make sure the ways are still level and have not
twisted, and re-shim as required.
10.
Install the backsplash with four M6-1 x 10 Phillips
head screws and flat washers.

NOTICE
If a lathe is not level, the ways can twist out of
alignment, and cutting operations may be affected.
Make sure that your level is a high-quality machinist's
level, and that all measuring surfaces are perfectly
clean. Recheck the lathe ways in a few weeks to make
sure the floor has not settled. Re-shim as required.
