Mounting To Shop Floor; Cabinet Base Assembly - Grizzly G4003G Owner's Manual

Mounting to Shop
Floor
We recommend that you bolt your lathe to the
floor. Because floor materials may vary, floor
mounting hardware is not included. Since this is
a precision machine, it is important to level the
machine with a precision level when mounting.
Bolting to Concrete Floors
Lag shield anchors with lag bolts (Figure 6) and
anchor studs (Figure 7) are two popular meth-
ods for anchoring an object to a concrete floor.
We suggest you research the many options and
methods for mounting your machine and choose
the best that fits your specific application.

Assembly

during the following assembly.
To assembly the cabinet base:
1.
Prepare the lathe location, and drill the holes
for your floor mounting fasteners.
2. Position the left and right cabinets approxi-
mately 34" apart in the prepared location.
3. Secure the front panel brackets to the cabi-
nets with four M6-1 x 10 Phillips head screws
and flat washers.
4. Install the front panel onto the panel brackets
with four M6-1 x 10 Phillips head screws, flat
washers, and hex nuts.
5.
With the cabinet base securely resting on
the floor at your location, shim between the
floor and base as required to make the base
assembly level from side-to-side and front-to-
back as indicated with a level.
6. Secure the cabinet base to the floor, but DO
NOT overtighten the fasteners.
