Figure 1 – Lifting machine
Lifting machine, arrange rope or cable as shown in figure 1, and check to see if the
correct balance has been obtained. Then insert pads of soft cloth between the edges of the
rope and machine. The net weight of this machine is approx 1050kgs (2300 lbs). So the
rope or cable must be rated at 3000 lbs capacity.

A.) INSPECTION AND CLEANING OF MACHINE

An inspection should be made after arrival of the machine in your plant. Look for possible
damage caused by shock or vibration during transportation, also check for any missing
parts, standard tools or other equipment.
In shipment, all exposed surfaces of the machine are coated with a antirust liquid. Before
moving carriage and cross-slide, leadscrew tailstock...etc, these surfaces should be
thoroughly cleaned to remove all antirust liquid use a soft brush and solvent. This is very
important because it can prevent any dirt or grit which may have accumulated on the
antirust liquid from working under the sliding members and causing undue wear.
※CAUTION: : : : DO NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR TO CLEAN, WHICH WILL
REDUCE THE MACHINES LIFE.

B.) FOUNDATION, INSTALLATION, AND LEVELING

A fairly flat foundation and proper installation will provide the machine long-term high
accuracy, so supplying a good solid foundation of proper thickness is important. (Generally ,
a thickness of 300mm (12") is considered to be enough.) The machine has six adjustable
feet on the coners of the pedestal base, used for leveling the machine. Place the pads
under the feet of pedestal. To adjust, loosen the set screw and raise or lower the foot with a
pin wrench so that all six feet rest firmly on the floor. When the adjustment is done, tighten
set screws.
