Transportation & Installation
Unpacking
The crate should be removed carefully – DO NOT remove the skids until the lathe has been positioned in its
working location.
After un-packing, inspect the machine carefully. In the event of shortages or damaged parts, notify the supplier
immediately giving a clear indication as to which parts are damaged / missing.
Lifting The Machine
In order to maintain a balanced condition before lifting, it is necessary to move the tailstock to the right hand
end of the bed and secure it. Ensure the bed ways are clean before moving the carriage or tailstock. (see section on
“Cleaning The Machine”).
Handling the machine after un-
packing must be done by a lifting
device i.e. crane of adequate
capacity and well in excess of the
weight of the machine for safety
reasons. Ensure the correct method
of hoisting is in accordance with
the equipment’s construction and
geographical features of the plant.
Chain, wire cable or rope may be
used to lift the machine, but using
a wooden block must protect the
finished surfaces of the machine.
Make sure the load is well
balanced and that the chain / wire
cable or rope, does not touch the
leadscrew or control rod before
lifting.
Do not stand under the suspended machine.
Cleaning The Machine
Do not move the carriage or tailstock on the Bedways before thoroughly cleaning and oiling the ways. A
good clean grease solvent is recommended to remove the slushing compound and dirt accumulated in transit. Do not
use an air hose, as this will force the grit and dirt into important functions of the machine. Use a stiff bristle brush to
clean the leadscrew thoroughly. When the machine has been cleaned, apply clean machine oil over all ways and
ensure no grit remains.
Before moving the carriage on the bed, remove the filler plug on the top of the carriage and fill the apron with the
correct oil as recommended in the ‘Lubrication’ Section. Oil the carriageways on the bed and move the carriage to
balance the load. Also, check the end gearing for correct meshing of gears.
