To safely balance load for lifting, disengage
half nut and feed selection levers and loosen
carriage lock, then move tailstock and car-
riage to right end of bedway and lock them in
place.
9.
Wrap two lifting straps around bedway ped-
estals and route them behind control rod,
feed rod, and leadscrew. Either attach them
to a safety hook (see Figure 16) or forklift
forks (see Figure 17). This will keep lifting
straps away from these critical components
and prevent them bending from during lifting.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the lifting straps
will not contact the bedway DRO sensor, or it
could be damaged during the lifting process.
