6.2 Installation
1. Finish removing all crate material from around
lathe.
2. Unbolt lathe from shipping pallet.
3. Choose a location for the lathe that is dry and
has sufficient illumination (consult OSHA or
ANSI standards for recommended lighting
levels in workshop environments).
4. Allow sufficient room on all four sides for
servicing lathe, and to load and off-load work
pieces. In addition, if bar work is to be
performed, allow enough space for stock to
extend out the headstock end. If used in
production operations, leave enough space for
stacking unfinished and finished parts.
5. The foundation must be solid to support the
weight of the machine and prevent vibration,
preferably a solid concrete floor.
6. The lathe’s center of weight is near the
headstock. Before lifting, release tailstock and
carriage (see sect. 9.0 to locate locking levers)
to right end of bed and lock them.
Confirm that all suspension
equipment is properly rated and in good
condition for lifting lathe. Do not allow
anyone beneath or near load while lifting.
