Clean Up; Site Considerations; Mounting To Floor - Grizzly G3616 Owner's Manual

Clean Up

The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy
oil to protect them from corrosion during ship-
ment. Remove this protective coating with a sol-
vent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as
Grizzly's G7895 Degreaser. To clean thoroughly,
some parts may need to be removed. For opti-
mum performance from your machine, make
sure you clean all moving parts or sliding
contact surfaces that are coated. Avoid chlo-
rine-based solvents as they may damage painted
surfaces should they come in contact. Always
follow the manufacturer's instructions when using
any type of cleaning product.

Site Considerations

Unsupervised children and
visitors inside your shop
could cause serious per-
sonal injury to themselves.
Lock all entrances to the
shop when you are away and
DO NOT allow unsupervised
children or visitors in your
shop at any time!
Floor Load
The weight and footprint size for your machine is
located in the machine data sheet. Most commer-
cial floors are suitable for your machine. Some
residential floors may require additional reinforce-
ment to support both the machine and operator.
Working Clearances
Consider existing and anticipated needs, size of
material to be processed through each machine,
and space for auxiliary stands, work tables or
other machinery when establishing a location for
your mill. See Figure 7 for the minimum working
clearances of the Model G3616/G3617.

Mounting to Floor

Although not required, we recommend that you
mount your new milling machine to the floor.
Because this is an optional step and floor mate-
rials may vary, floor mounting hardware is not
included.
Note: The instructions below are given for a typi-
cal heavy-duty shop floor made of 6" thick con-
crete. Also, anchor studs may be substituted for
lag bolts, but they will stick out of the floor if you
decide to move your machine at a later point.
