Moving & Placing
Lathe
The Model G4000 is a
heavy machine. Serious
personal injury may occur
if safe moving methods
are not used. To be safe,
get assistance, use safe
lifting methods, and use
power equipment that
is rated for at least 500

Note: To help balance the load, remove the
tailstock and steady rest from the machine,
then position the right lifting strap and the
carriage as far to the right as possible (refer
Carriage Controls on Page 19 for detailed
instructions).
Make sure the lifting straps do not put any
strain on the leadscrew or carriage controls.
