Lifting & Placing
Shaper
The Model G0900 is a
heavy machine. Serious
personal injury may occur
if safe moving methods
are not used. To be safe,
get assistance and use
power equipment rated
for at least 1500 lbs. to
move the shipping crate
and remove the machine
from the crate.
The Model G0900 can be lifted with one of the
following methods:
Lifting Straps & Safety Hooks: Connect
•
two safety hooks to chains or web straps
that are capable of securely hooking under-
neath the table edge at the locations shown
in Figure 11. Then attach the chains or web
straps to a center safety chain secured to the
power lifting equipment.
Forklift Forks: Position the forks under the
•
table and close to the cabinet (see Figure
11). Use cardboard to protect the table and
cabinet from the forks.

Anchoring to Floor
Number of Mounting Holes ............................ 4
Diameter of Mounting Hardware .................
Anchoring machinery to the floor prevents tipping
or shifting and reduces vibration that may occur
during operation, resulting in a machine that runs
slightly quieter and feels more solid.
If the machine will be installed in a commercial or
workplace setting, or if it is permanently connect-
ed (hardwired) to the power supply, local codes
may require that it be anchored to the floor.
If not required by any local codes, fastening the
machine to the floor is an optional step. If you
choose not to do this with your machine, we rec-
ommend placing it on machine mounts, as these
provide an easy method for leveling and they have
vibration-absorbing pads.
Anchoring to Concrete Floors
Lag shield anchors with lag screws (see below)
are a popular way to anchor machinery to a con-
crete floor, because the anchors sit flush with the
floor surface, making it easy to unbolt and move
the machine later, if needed. However, anytime
local codes apply, you MUST follow the anchoring
methodology specified by the code.
