Moving & Placing
Base Unit
The Model G0592 is
an
machine. Serious per-
sonal injury may occur if
safe moving methods are
not followed. To be safe,
you will need assistance
and power equipment
when moving the ship-
ping crate and remov-
ing the machine from the
crate.
Use a forklift and straps rated for the machine
weight to lift the machine off the pallet and onto a
suitable location (see Figure 6).

Mounting to Shop
Floor
Although not required, we recommend that you
mount your new machine to the floor. Because
this is an optional step and floor materials may
vary, floor mounting hardware is not included.
Generally, you can either bolt your machine to
the floor or mount it on machine mounts. It will
be necessary to level your machine after mount-
ing. If you choose to set your machine on the
floor, four M12-1.75 x 50 leveling bolts have been
included.
Bolting to Concrete Floors
Lag shield anchors with lag bolts (Figure 7)
and anchor studs are two popular methods for
anchoring an object to a concrete floor.
NOTICE
Anchor studs are stronger and more per-
manent alternatives to lag shield anchors;
however, they will stick out of the floor,
which may cause a tripping hazard if you
decide to move your machine.
Using Machine Mounts
Using machine mounts, shown in Figure 7, gives
the advantage of fast leveling and vibration reduc-
tion. The large size of the foot pads distributes the
weight of the machine.

mounting.
