shipping material until the Turret Mill is assembled
and running properly.
Compare the contents of your container with the
following parts list to make sure all parts are intact.
Missing parts, if any, should be reported to your
distributor. Read the instruction manual thoroughly
for assembly, maintenance and safety instructions.
If your mill is supplied with an optional Table

6.2 Preparing the mill for service
1.
Remove any crating which may be covering the
machine on the pallet.
2.
Remove accessory items from the pallet or
machine table. Compare items with section 6.1.
3.
Check the tightness of the lifting ring on the ram
to be certain it is tight.
4.
Check the tightness of the lock handles on the
ram (see Figure 21) to be certain the ram is
locked tight.
5.
Remove the nuts and/or bolts, which secure the
machine to the pallet.
6.
Center an overhead crane or other suitable
overhead lifting device and sling arrangement
over the lifting ring.
Note: This machine weighs over 2200 pounds
– Be certain lifting arrangement is new or in
excellent condition and has a safety factor that
will account for age, difficulties in lifting, etc.
When lifting using the ring, the machine will tip
forward. If you wish, you can minimize this
tipping by rigging a support sling over front of
machine. Be careful when doing this, to prevent
sling from damaging any components on front
of machine. Be sure to steady mill to prevent it
from spinning.
7.
Lift machine off pallet no higher than necessary
to clear the hold-down hardware, then pull the
pallet out of the way. Do NOT get hands or feet
underneath machine when removing pallet!
8.
Put machine base over the hold-down system
where the machine will be spotted. Anchor bolts
of sufficient size and length must be fastened to
the floor according to footprint of mill. See
Figure 1.
Note: The accompanying diagrams show you
the maximum dimensions of the machines with
the table, ram, etc., fully extended in all possible
directions. When spotting the machine be
certain to leave room not only for the machine
itself, but also for operator clearance and
clearance for workers servicing the machine,
