Lifting & Moving
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 25% more than the
shipping weight of your lathe to support dynamic
loads that may be applied while lifting. Refer to
Things You'll Need on Page 16 for details.
To lift and move the lathe:
1.
Remove the shipping crate top and sides,
then remove the small components from the
shipping pallet.
2.
Move the lathe to its prepared location while
it is still attached to the shipping pallet.
3.
Unbolt the lathe from the shipping pallet
4.
To balance the load for lifting, move the
tailstock and carriage to the extreme right
end of the bedway, then lock them in place.
Note:
Before attempting to move the carriage,
make sure the carriage lock is loose, the half
nut is disengaged, and the power feed is
disengaged (feed selection lever).
5.
Position hardwood blocks under each end
of the bed as shown in Figure 14. This
will keep the lifting straps away from the
leadscrew, feed rod, and spindle rod to
prevent bending them during lifting.

This machine and its parts are heavy! Serious
personal injury may occur if safe moving
methods are not used. To reduce the risk of a
lifting or dropping injury, ask others for help,
and use power equipment and guide rods.

Note:
Fasten a center support between the
hardwood blocks so that they will stay
spread apart and in place when lifting (see
the example in Figure 15).
