Leveling the Machine:
Before leveling the machine, loosen and remove the shipping brackets securing the air float Workhead.
(Figures 1 & 2). The air float clamp plate bolts may need to be loosened also. Access to these bolts is
gained by tilting the spindle assembly to the left and loosening the bolts on that side approximately 1 turn.
Access to the right side bolts is obtained by tilting the spindle to the right.
Do not loosen more than necessary to allow the head to float. Clamp assembly will not clamp tight if bolts
are loosened too much. It is best to hold nylock locking nut secure on top side and loosen bolt with
wrench from underside of clamp plate.
Required machinist level. (Starret 98 or better).
NOTE: Rotate Level 180º to check that Level is properly adjusted. If Level does not read same in both
directions, recalibrate level.
Use the level on the upper float surface, level the machine as precisely as possible, front to back and side
to side. Level is obtained fastest when using a three point leveling method.
To utilize a three point leveling method, use only the front outside leveling bolts and the middle bolt in the
rear. Use a socket wrench to turn the leveling bolts. After the machine is leveled, bring in the other
leveling bolts. Be certain all leveling bolts are effectively supporting the machine. Tighten jam nuts on
leveling bolts and recheck level.
