Using machine mounts
Using machine mounts, shown in Figure , gives the advantage of fast leveling and vibration reduction. The large size
of the foot pads distributes the weight of the machine to reduce strain on the floor.
Using foundation bolts
Place the lathe on a solid foundation. A concrete floor is the best base for the machine. (If necessary, use
an under frame operational). Make sure there is sufficient area around the lathe for easy work and
maintenance. Use a precision level on the bedways to make further adjustment for level condition, tighten
the foundation bolts evenly and finally recheck for level condition.
NOTICE!
For accurate turning results
and to prevent warping the cast iron bed
and ways, the lathe bedways must be
leveled from side-to side and from
front-to back on both ends. Re-check
the bedways 24 hours after installation,
two weeks after that, and then annually
to make sure they remain level.

Check gearbox oil
It is critical that there is oil in the headstock, quick change gearbox, and the apron gearbox before proceeding with the
test run. Refer to the lubrication instructions on page 32
for more details on which type and how much oil to use in
each gearbox.
Adding cutting fluid
For detailed instructions on where the cutting fluid tank is located and how to add fluid, refer to cutting fluid system
on page 35.
Power connection
Once all preparation steps previously described in this manual have been completed, the machine can be connected to
the power source. In order to be connected to the power source, a circuit must be installed/prepared that meets the
requirements of the lathe, and a power connection method must be established for that circuit.
Using an incorrectly sized cord causes machine electrical
components and the cord to become very hot, which can lead
to component failure or result in fire. For best results, use the
shortest length of cord possible, and never use a smaller cord
gauge than the specified minimum.
