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.
DO NOT attempt to lift or move machine without
using a forklift or necessary assistance from other
people.
Review the Power Supply section (Page 18) and
Site Considerations section (Page 21), then pre-
pare a permanent location for the machine.
IMPORTANT: Make sure prepared location is
clean and level.
Children or untrained people
may be seriously injured by
this machine. Only install in an
access restricted location.
To lift and place machine:
Move machine near its prepared location
1.
while still inside shipping box.

2.
place small items aside in safe location.
Unbolt machine from metal skids.
3.

4.
move it to prepared location, then lower
machine into position.

HEAVY LIFT!
Anchoring to Floor
(G1079R)
Anchoring machinery to the floor prevents tipping
or shifting and reduces vibration that may occur
during operation, resulting in a machine that runs
slightly quieter and feels more solid.
If the machine will be installed in a commercial or
workplace setting, or if it is permanently connect-
ed (hardwired) to the power supply, local codes
may require that it be anchored to the floor.
If not required by any local codes, fastening the
machine to the floor is an optional step. If you
choose not to do this with your machine, we rec-
ommend placing it on machine mounts, as these
provide an easy method for leveling and they have
vibration-absorbing pads.
Anchoring to Concrete Floors
Lag shield anchors with lag screws (see below)
are a popular way to anchor machinery to a con-
crete floor, because the anchors sit flush with the
floor surface, making it easy to unbolt and move
the machine later, if needed. However, anytime
local codes apply, you MUST follow the anchoring
methodology specified by the code.
