Lifting & Placing - Grizzly G0602Z Owner's Manual

Lifting & Placing
Straining or crushing injury
may occur from improperly
lifting machine or some of
its parts. To reduce this risk,
get help from other people
and use a forklift (or other
lifting equipment) rated for
weight of this machine.
Do not attempt to lift or move this lathe without
using the proper lifting equipment (such as forklift
or crane) or the necessary assistance from other
people. Refer to Needed for Setup on Page 16
for details.
To lift and move the lathe:
1.
Remove the shipping crate top and sides,
then remove the chip pan, 4-jaw chuck, face-
plate, and toolbox from the shipping pallet.
2.
Position the chip pan on the selected mount-
ing surface and use it as a template to mark
the hole locations for the mounting hardware
(refer to Leveling & Mounting on Page 21).
3.
Unbolt the lathe from the shipping pallet.
Only use lifting straps and power lifting
equipment rated for at least 500 lbs. and in
good working condition. If the lathe falls or
tips over while moving it, serious personal
injury and property damage could result.
4.
To balance the load for lifting, move the
tailstock and carriage to the extreme right
end of the bedway, then lock them in place.
Note: Before attempting to move the car-
riage, make sure the carriage lock is loose
and the half nut is disengaged.

HEAVY LIFT!
5.
Wrap the lifting straps around the bed and
between the leadscrew and the bedway, as
shown in Figure 14, to help prevent bending
the leadscrew during lifting.
Figure 14. Example of lifting strap positions.
6. Attach the lifting straps to the power lifting
equipment, have an assistant steady the
load, then lift it just enough to clear any
obstacles and move it to its mounting posi-
tion.
7.
Properly mount the lathe as instructed in the
Mounting subsection on Page 21.
