AMMCO 6000 Heavy Duty Drum/Disk Lathe - Manual (Page 7)

Installation
Receiving
The shipment should be thoroughly inspected as soon as it is
received. The signed bill of lading is acknowledgement by the
carrier of receipt in good condition of shipment covered by our
invoice.
If any of the goods called for on this bill of lading are shorted or
damaged, do not accept them until the carrier makes a notation
on the freight bill of the shorted or damaged goods. Do this for
your own protection.
NOTIFY THE CARRIER AT ONCE if any hidden loss or damage
is discovered after receipt and request the carrier to make an
inspection. If the carrier will not do so, prepare a signed state-
ment to the effect that you have notified the carrier (on a specific
date) and that the carrier has failed to comply with your request.
IT IS DIFFICULT TO COLLECT FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE AFTER
YOU HAVE GIVEN THE CARRIER A CLEAR RECEIPT.
File your claim with the carrier promptly. Support your claim
with copies of the bill of lading, freight bill, invoice, and photo-
graphs, if available.
Although AMMCO’s responsibility ceases upon delivery of the
shipment to the carrier, we will gladly assist in tracing lost ship-
ments. Our willingness to assist in every possible manner does
not make AMMCO responsible for collection of claims or
replacement of lost or damaged materials. Shipping damage
claims will not be handled under warranty.
Preferred Lifting Method
Lift the lathe by all four bed ways only. DO NOT lift
under the saddles, cross slides, boring bars, or spin-
dle. Be sure the gearbox control wires and external
travel controls will not be damaged when lifting the
lathe.
Be sure the lifting slings are arranged so they will not crush or
exert pressure against any limit switch control parts, lock levers,
control wires, etc.
Both slings should be hung together in a hook or a loop of chain
when lifting the lathe.
Installation
Bolt the lathe to the floor using the anchor bolts provided. Be
sure the lathe is resting solidly on its three feet. Shim with wash-
ers if necessary to eliminate rocking. After the lathe is bolted
down run the outer corner screws of the front support down
until they contact the floor and tighten the jam nuts. These
screws are not to be used for leveling. BEFORE RUNNING THE
LATHE, REFER TO THE OILING AND GREASING INSTRUC-
TIONS. Allow sufficient work space around the lathe as illus-
trated in the WORK SPACE REQUIREMENTS.
