Note: Make sure to position the straps on the
lifting bars up against the lathe to provide the
best lifting safety. Also, make sure the straps
will not put strain on any part of the carriage,
leadscrew, or shafts.

Note: If you will be using the foot pads and
leveling hardware included with your lathe,
thread the thin hex nuts onto the leveling
bolts, then thread the leveling bolts through
the top of the threaded holes at each of the
six mounting locations (see Figure 10).

NOTICE
For accurate turning results and to prevent
cracking or warping of the cast iron bed
and ways, the lathe MUST be made level
from side-to-side and from front-to-back.
Re-check the bedways the first 24 hours
after installation, two weeks after that, and
once every year to make sure they remain
level.
