The vertical mill is a
heavy machine. Serious
personal injury may
occur if safe moving
methods are not used.
To be safe, get assis-
tance and use power
equipment rated for at
least 1500 lbs. to move
the shipping crate and
remove the machine
from the crate.
To move and place this mill:
1. after removing the crate from the shipping
pallet, wrap lifting straps around the turret, as
shown in
figure 8, and securely attach them
to your power lifting equipment.

2. use a 1 ⁄
2
" wrench to unbolt the mill from the
pallet.
3. With assistance to steady the machine, move
it as close to the prepared location as pos-
sible.
4. lift it just enough to clear the pallet and any
floor obstacles, then situate it in its final posi-
tion.
5. When mounting the machine to the floor, use
a precision level to make sure the table is
level from side to side and front to back.
Note: If necessary, use shims to make sure
there are no gaps between the base and the
floor to avoid cracking or warping the cast
iron.
