Lifting & Placing; Mounting - Grizzly T10718 Owner's Manual

Lifting & Placing
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.
To lift and place the brake:
1. Move the brake to the installation location
while it is still on the shipping pallet.
2. Unbolt the brake from the shipping pallet.
3. Make sure the foot pedal is locked in the
down position.
4.
Attach the safety hooks and chains to the
side lifting brackets, as shown in Figure 3,
then connect the chains to the fork lift.

to prevent the brake from swinging or rocking
when lifted, raise the brake just enough to
clear the shipping pallet, then remove the pal-
let.
6.
Lower the brake into place and mount it to the
floor as recommended in the next subsection.

Mounting

The Model T10718 is shipped fully assembled.
However, due to the significant dynamic forces on
the brake during operation, you must secure it to
the floor to prevent tipping. Because floor materi-
als vary, floor mounting hardware is not included.
Anchor studs and lag shield anchors with lag
screws (Figure 4) are two popular methods for
anchoring the brake to a concrete floor. We sug-
gest you research the many options and methods
for mounting your machine and choose the best
that fits your specific application.
