Lifting & Moving
This machine and its
parts are heavy! Serious
personal injury may occur
if safe moving methods are
not used. To reduce the
risk of a lifting or dropping
injury, ask others for help
and use power equipment.
The method of lifting and moving the mill
described below requires at least two other
people for assistance and a hoist or forklift with a
lifting strap or chain rated for at least 5000 lbs.
To lift and move mill:
1.
Position ram and headstock so lifting eye
is centered with the column as illustrated
in Figure
10 (refer to Ram Movement on
Page 31 and Headstock Movement on
Page 29 for detailed instructions).
2.
To prevent unexpected movement during
lifting and moving; after re-positioning ram
and headstock, make sure they are locked in
place.
IMPORTANT: Before lifting mill, make sure
four turret lock bolts (two on each side of ram,
Figure 11) are torqued to 47 ft/lbs.

into ram where all threads are engaged with
casting.
Attach lifting strap or chain to lifting eye
located on top of the ram; or attach lifting
straps under ram, as shown in Figure 11.

Unbolt mill from shipping pallet.
With your assistants steadying mill to keep
it from swaying and rotating, slowly lift mill
a couple of inches.
— If mill tips forward or backward, lower
it to ground and adjust ram or table to
balance load. Make sure to re-tighten lock
levers and bolts before lifting mill again.
— If mill lifts evenly, continue to move it to
its permanent location.
