7.0 SET-UP AND INSTALLATION
7.1 PREPARING THE MILLING MACHINE FOR
SERVICE
1.
Remove any crating which may be covering the ma-
chine on the pallet.
2.
Remove accessory items from the pallet or machine
table. Compare these items with the list on the
previous page.
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 23) to be certain the ram is locked tight.
5.
Remove the nuts and/or bolts, which secure the ma-
chine 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 2400 pounds! Be
certain the 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
the front of the machine. Be careful when doing this,
to prevent the sling from damaging any components
on the front of the machine. Be sure to steady the mill
to prevent it from spinning.
7.
Lift the machine off the pallet no higher than neces-
sary to clear the hold-down hardware, then pull
the pallet out of the way. Do NOT get hands or feet
underneath the machine when removing the pallet!
8.
Put the 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 the footprint of the mill. See diagram on
page 9.
