moving & placing
machine
When you are ready to move your mill to its per-
manent position, follow this procedure:
1.
remove the mounting bolts holding the mill to
the bottom of the crate.
2.
Move the table as close to the column as
possible to help balance the machine during
moving.
3.
place lifting straps under the head of the
machine, as shown in figure 7, then connect
them to a forklift. Be sure that the straps con-
nect to the forklift far enough apart that the
straps are not resting on the plastic pulley
cover.
When using power lifting equipment, make
sure the equipment is safe, fully operational,
and adequately rated for the weight being
lifted. the operator of the equipment must
be experienced and able to use safe meth-
ods during these processes. failure to heed
these warnings could result in serious per-
sonal injury or death.
