Lifting & Placing
HEAVY LIFT!
Straining or crushing injury
may occur from improperly
lifting machine or some of
its parts. To reduce this risk,
get help from other people
and use a forklift (or other
lifting equipment) rated for
weight of this machine.
Power lifting equipment rated for at least 50%
more than the weight of the machine and at least
two other people are required to lift and place the
mill.
To lift and move mill:
1. Remove crate from shipping pallet, then
while still on pallet, move machine to installa-
tion location.
2. Remove horizontal arbor support, and extend
ram so it will clear DRO.
3. Rotate ram 180° clockwise so headstock
faces backwards (see Figure 10).
Refer to Head Tilt on Page 29 and Ram
Movement on Page 30 for detailed instruc-
tions to help with this step.

mill.
5. Place lifting slings under ram and connect to
a safety hook, as illustrated in Figure 10.
Note: Place protective material between
slings and mill to protect ram and ways, and
to prevent cutting lifting slings.
6. Unbolt mill from shipping pallet.
7. With other people steadying load to keep it
from swaying, lift machine a couple of inches.
— If mill tips to one side, lower it to the pallet
and adjust ram or table to balance load.
Make sure to retighten lock levers and
bolts before lifting mill again.
— If mill lifts evenly, remove shipping pallet
and lower mill into final position.
8. Rotate ram 180° counterclockwise so head-
stock faces forwards, then re-install horizon-
tal arbor support.
Note: After repositioning ram and headstock,
make sure they are locked in place to prevent
unexpected movement while lifting.
4. Torque four turret lock bolts (two on each
side of ram, as shown in Figure 11) to 47 ft/
lbs. This will help keep ram from unexpect-
edly moving from force of lifting slings.
