Site Considerations; Moving & Placement - Grizzly G9972Z Owner's Manual

Site Considerations

Floor Load
Refer to the Machine Data Sheet on Page 6 for
the weight and footprint specifications of your
machine. Some residential floors may require
additional reinforcement to support both the
machine and operator. Make sure the workbench
or stand you plan to use can safely handle the
weight and vibration of the lathe and operational
materials.
Placement Location
Consider existing and anticipated needs, size of
material to be processed through each machine,
and space for auxiliary stands, work tables or
other machinery when establishing a location for
your new machine. See Figure 7 for the minimum
working clearances.

Moving & Placement
The Model G9972Z 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 750 lbs. to
move the shipping crate
and remove the machine
from the crate.
To move and place your lathe:
1.
Remove the top and side crating materials,
and the chip pan, 4-jaw chuck, faceplate, and
toolbox from the shipping pallet.
2. Position the chip pan on the selected mount-
ing surface and use it as a template to pre-
pare holes for the mounting hardware (refer
to Mounting on Page 17).
3. Use the 17mm wrench to remove the hex
nuts that secure the lathe to the shipping pal-
let.
Only use lifting straps and power lifting
equipment rated for at least 750 lbs. and in
good working condition. If the lathe falls or
tips over while moving it, serious personal
injury and property damage could result.
