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 move mill:
1.
Remove crate from shipping pallet, then with
mill still on pallet, move pallet to installation
location.
2.
Insert 36" long steel bar that is
eter through hoisting holes on both sides of
column (see Figure 15).
Note: Make sure the round bar is high-grade
steel capable of holding the load without
bending.
3.
Position forklift forks under bar and close to
column on both sides (see Figure 15) to mini-
mize potential bending leverage on bar while
lifting.

4.
Unbolt mill from shipping pallet.
5.
With another person steadying mill to keep
it from swaying, lift mill a few inches above
pallet.
6.
Remove shipping pallet and lower mill onto
its prepared location.
Leveling
Leveling precision machinery helps components,
such as dovetail ways, remain straight and flat
during the lifespan of the machine. Components
on an unleveled machine may slowly twist due to
the dynamic loads placed on the machine during
operation.
Use metal shims between the base and the floor
when leveling the machine.
For best results, use a precision level that is at
least 12" long and sensitive enough to show a
distance movement when a 0.003" shim (approxi-
mately the thickness of one sheet of standard
newspaper) is placed under one end of the level.
See Figure 16 for an example of a high-precision
level available from Grizzly.
