3. MACHINE INSTALLATION
TRANSPORTATION
The machine is transported in a special wooden case (or with foot stands
separately packed in carton), being fixed to the base of the case or slide by
suitable bolts. Some of the accessories are mounted on the lathe well fixed
and the other packed in a separate box or directly fixed on the case base.
The places where the ropes or chains have to be passed during handling of the
packed machine are marked on the packing. Be aware of the heavy side while
you are handling the machine with forklift.
UNPACKING
After the machine had been unpacked, check carefully its general condition, as
well as the availability and condition of all the accessories, shown in the
packing list.
HANDLING
Unpacked machine shall be handled only by the help of a suitable crane.
Before passing the ropes over the specified places, shown on the Fig.2, pull
out the tailstock and carriage and fix them in the rear hand position so that
when lifting the machine you will obtain required balancing. When handling the
machine never strike or hit it sharply because this may affect the machine
accuracy—irrespective of whether there are or not may visible defects.
Since the paint on some part of the machine may be damaged during handling,
place protective pads of fabrics or other suitable material on the respective
places.
PREPARATION
Before mounting the machine on the predetermined place, clean it carefully
from the protective oil. Respective machine surface shall be washed by the
help of pure naphtha or benzine.
This protective oil shall not be removed by hard objects or solvent that may
damage the metal surface or paint of the machine. Well-cleaned surfaces are
dried by the help of dry threads and covered with pure machine oil. Remove
the end gear cover. Clean all components of the end gear assembly and coat
all gears with heavy, non-slinging grease.
MOUNTING, FOUNDATIONS AND LEVELLING
To obtain accurate, durable and trouble-free operation of the machine, mount it
only on suitable, foundation and level it carefully. The foundation is prepared
