Read and understand the entire contents of this manual before attempting setup or operation. Failure to comply may cause serious injury. 6.0 Set-up and assembly Open shipping container and check for shipping damage. Report any damage immediately to your distributor and shipping agent. Do not discard any shipping material until the Turret Mill is assembled and running properly. Compare the contents of your container with the following parts list to make sure all parts are intact. Missing parts, if any, should be reported to your distributor. Read the instruction manual thoroughly for assembly, maintenance and safety instructions. If your mill is supplied with an optional Table Powerfeed and/or DRO, be sure to consult the separate instruction materials that accompany them. 6.1 Contents of shipping container Note: Some parts may be pre-installed on the mill.

Remove any crating which may be covering the machine on the pallet. 2. Remove accessory items from the pallet or machine table. Compare items with section 6.1. 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 21) to be certain the ram is locked tight. 5. Remove the nuts and/or bolts, which secure the machine 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 2200 pounds - Be certain 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 front of machine. Be careful when doing this, to prevent sling from damaging any components on front of machine. Be sure to steady mill to prevent it from spinning. 7. Lift machine off pallet no higher than necessary to clear the hold-down hardware, then pull the pallet out of the way. Do NOT get hands or feet underneath machine when removing pallet! 8. Put 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 footprint of mill. See Figure 1. Note: The accompanying diagrams show you the maximum dimensions of the machines with the table, ram, etc., fully extended in all possible directions. When spotting the machine be certain to leave room not only for the machine itself, but also for operator clearance and clearance for workers servicing the machine, 10
