1.6 Uncrating Your Axis (continued)
Steps to Safely Uncrate Your Axis
6.
Remove the lag screws holding down the control stand.
7.
Remove any strapping holding the cable conduit in place so there is enough slack to carefully lift and place the control stand next to
the crate. Be sure to team lift and be mindful of not putting much tension on the cables.
8.
At this point, the Axis should be the only item left on the crate base. Unbolt the Axis from the crate base using a 9/16" socket. A lifting
eye is provided to safely and easily lift the Axis off of the crate. A forklift, overhead hoist, or tall engine hoist can lift the 190 lb Axis off of
the crate.
9.
A furniture dolly can be placed under the control stand and rolled while the Axis is set into position.
Note: If you need to fit the Axis through a single width doorway, you may remove the T-shaped legs from the welded aluminum base
by removing the 8 x 5/16"-18 x 1.5" screws. Ensure the head of the Axis is in the DOWN position. This will lower the center of gravity.
The Axis can then be lifted and set on an appropriate furniture dolly and rolled through the doorway. Once at the final location, carefully
slide the Axis off the dolly and onto the T-shaped legs. Team lifting is advised to balance the machine during this process. Bolt the legs
on using the same 8 screws.
Note: Use team lifting or a
power lift to move the unit
safely!!!
