6. With the RH cabinet in its approximate final location,
insert the footbrake pivot shaft, then locate the other
end of the shaft in the LH cabinet while easing the
cabinet into its final location.
7. Install the front panel on the brackets using four M6
screws, washers and nuts.
8. Position the chip tray on the stands, aligning the
6 holes for mounting bolts with the corresponding
threaded holes on top of the cabinets..
9. Unpack the footbrake components stowed in the
LH cabinet, then assemble the drawbar (2 pieces),
crank and extension spring as Figure -3 (see Foot-
brake adjustment, next page, also Stand and Cool-
ant Components diagram, Section 5).
0. Remove the packing case from the pallet, then un-
bolt the machine from the pallet.
. Run two 000 lb slings under the lathe bed and up
to the hoist hook. The slings must be
inboard of the
leadscrew, feed shaft and motor control rod
to
avoid damage to those components.
2. Slowly lift the lathe, controlling any tendency for it to
swing as it clears the pallet.
3. Roll the lathe into position, Figure -5, then hover it
an inch or so over the chip tray. This will allow you
to mark the perimeters of the lathe bed pedestals for
the purpose of caulking.
4. Apply a thick bead of silicone caulk just inside the
marked perimeters on the tray.
5. Lower the lathe onto the chip tray, making sure that
its six mounting holes are properly aligned. Excess
caulk squeezed out by the pedestals will form a
coolant-proof seal.
6. Install the six supplied M2 x 40 hex head bolts with
washers. Fully tighten the bolts. Re-check the caulk-
ing on both pedestals.
7. Install the backsplash using four M6 screws and
washers.
