Lifting & Placing
Do not attempt to lift or move this lathe without
using the proper lifting equipment (such as forklift
or crane) or the necessary assistance from other
people. Each piece of lifting equipment must be
rated for at least 2000 lbs. to support dynamic
loads that may be applied while lifting. Refer to
Needed for Setup on Page 16 for details.
To lift and move lathe:
1. Remove shipping crate top and sides, then
remove small components from shipping
pallet.
2. Move lathe to its prepared location while it is
still attached to shipping pallet.
3. Unbolt lathe from shipping pallet.
4. To balance load for lifting, move tailstock and
carriage to extreme right end of bedway, then
lock them in place.
Note:
Before attempting to move the car-
riage, make sure the carriage lock is loose,
the half nut is disengaged, and the power
feed is disengaged, using the feed selection
lever (see
Page 4 for reference).
5. Remove back splash so it does not get dam-
aged when lathe is raised.
6. Insert round steel bar stock through four lift-
ing holes (see
Figure 17).
Note: To properly support the lathe and
avoid damaging lathe components, bar stock
should be at least 1
1
⁄
4
" diameter thick and 44"
long, so it projects 14" from both sides of the
lathe when installed.
7. Attach lifting straps to bar stock and power-
lifting equipment (see
Figure 17). Make sure
there is enough space between straps and
control rod, feed rod, leadscrew and electrical
cabinet to prevent putting pressure on these
components when lifting.
8. Raise lathe a couple of inches and check bal-
ance of load. Have two other people carefully
steady lathe to help prevent it from swinging.
— If load is not safely balanced, immedi-
ately lower lathe and resolve issue before
attempting to lift it again.
9. Raise lathe enough to clear shipping pallet
and carefully remove pallet.
10. Lower lathe into position.
11. Re-install back splash.

lifting equipment) rated for
weight of this machine.
