Lifting & Moving
Do not attempt to lift or move this lathe without
using the proper lifting equipment or the
necessary assistance from other people. Each
piece of lifting equipment must be rated for at
least 5000 lbs. to support dynamic loads that
may be applied while lifting. Refer to the Things
You'll Need subsection on Page 17 for details.
To lift and move the lathe:
1.
1.
Remove the shipping crate top and sides,
then remove the small components from the
shipping pallet.
2. Use a forklift to move the lathe to its
prepared location while it is still attached to
the shipping pallet.
3. To prepare for lifting the lathe, balance the
load by loosening the tailstock lock lever (see
Figure 16) and moving the tailstock to the
end of the bedway. Be sure to lock it in place.
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 lifting
equipment.
4. To further balance the load, loosen the
carriage lock bolt (see Figure 17), disengage
the half nut lever, disengage the feed control
lever, then use the carriage handwheel to
move the carriage next to the tailstock.

5. Position a 12" long 2x6 board under each end
of the bed, as illustrated in Figure 18, then
wrap the lifting straps around the bottom of
the 2x6's.
Note: The 2x6's extend the lifting straps away
from the bottom of the bed to prevent
machine damage from excessive strap
pressure against the leadscrew, feed rod, and
spindle control rod. Make sure to use them.
