5.0 Setup and assembly
5.1 Shipping contents
1 English wheel
10 Lower wheel assemblies
4 Upper wheel assemblies
1 Operating instructions and parts manual
1 Product registration card
5.2 Tools required for assembly
8mm hex key (provided)

5.3 Unpacking and cleanup
1. Inspect contents for shipping damage.
Report damage, if any, to your distributor.
Do not discard shipping materials until
machine is installed and running properly.
2. Compare contents of shipping carton with
the contents list in this manual. Report
shortages, if any, to your distributor.
3. Remove rust protectant from exposed
surfaces, such as shafts and post, with a
clean rag and a cleaner/degreaser or
kerosene. Apply a light coat of oil on these
surfaces to inhibit rust. Do not use gasoline,
acetone, or lacquer thinner as these will
damage painted surfaces. Do not use an
abrasive pad, as it may scratch finished
surfaces.
5.4 Location
Locate the machine on a solid, level floor,
preferably concrete. Area should have good
overhead lighting and ventilation, with enough
room for loading and offloading of stock and
general maintenance. Although the English
Wheel is mobile it is recommended that, once
positioned, it be secured to floor using lag
screws (not provided) or similar means through
provided holes in base.
5.5 Mobility
Retractable casters beneath main column and
support legs allow machine to be moved by one
person. Rotate the square head bolts (Figure 5-
1) with a wrench to lower or raise casters.
NOTE: Always retract casters before operating
machine.
