To balance the load for lifting, move the
tailstock and carriage to the right end of the
bedway, then lock them in place.
Note: Before attempting to move the car-
riage, make sure the carriage lock is loose,
the half nut is disengaged, and the feed
selection lever is disengaged. Refer to Page
5 to identify these controls.
9.
Wrap two lifting straps around the bedway
pedestals and route them behind the control
rod, feed rod, and the lead screw. Either
attach them to a safety hook (see Figure
17) or forklift forks (see Figure 18). This will
keep the lifting straps away from these critical
components and prevent them bending them
during lifting.

10. Position the chip pan on top of the cabinet
stand and align the six mounting holes with
those in the cabinets.
11. Slowly raise the lathe from the pallet and
have another person hold onto the lathe to
prevent it from swinging as you move it over
the stand.
12. Apply a
⁄
" bead of silicone around the bot-

tom edge of the bedway pedestals.
Note: When the lathe is placed onto the chip
pan the silicone will form a protective seal to
help prevent fluid leaking into the cabinets.
13. Place the lathe on the stand while aligning
the mounting holes in the lathe bed with the
holes in the chip pan.
14. Remove the headstock end cover to gain
better access to the headstock base pedestal
(see Figure 19).
