SETTING TO WORKPLACE
Unbolt the lathe from the shipping crate
bottom.
Choose a location for the lathe that:
fulfils all requirements from the security
section.
With adequate lifting equipment, slowly
raise the lathe off the shipping crate bot-
tom.
DO NOT LIFT the machine by a spindle.
Make sure that the lathe is balanced be-
fore lifting it.
Lifting has to be performed by respectivel
trained persons.
To avoid twisting the bed, the lathe`s lo-
cation must be absolutely flat and level.
Bolt the lathe to the stand (if used). If
using a bench, through bolt for best per-
formance. Check Figure 1 for the boring
hole distances.
Clean all rust protected surfaces using
a mild commercial solvent, kerosene or
diesel fuel. Do not use paint thinner ga-
solone or lacquer thinner. These will da-
mage painted surfaces. Cover all cleaned
surfaces with a light film of 20W machine
oil.
Remove the end gear cover. Clean all
components of the end gear assembly
and coat all gears with a heavy, non-slin-
ging grease.
Lubricate the machine at all lubrication
points and fill the oil reservoirs to ope-
rating level before placing the lathe into
service!
Instructions for lubrication can be found
in the maintenance section of this manu-
