Lifting & Moving
Do not attempt to lift or move this machine
without using the proper lifting equipment
(such as forklift or crane). Each piece of lifting
equipment must be rated for at least 1000 lbs. to
support dynamic loads that may be applied while
lifting.
Use lifting straps or chains to lift the machine off
the pallet using the eye bolts shown in Figure
11. While machine is suspended, install machine
feet as described in Machine Mounts before
placing machine in a suitable location.
This machine and its
parts are heavy! Serious
personal injury may occur
if safe moving methods are
not used. To reduce the
risk of a lifting or dropping
injury, ask others for help
and use power equipment.

Machine Mounts
Machine mounts are rubber pads mounted to
a threaded stud, which can be fastened to the
bottom of the machine.
Machine mounts offer certain advantages such
as ease of installation, vibration dampening, and
easy leveling. They also make it easier to relocate
the machine later on.
The disadvantage of machine mounts is that the
machine can shift or move over time. For this
reason, electrical codes may limit their use if
the machine is hardwired to the power source.
Also, mounts may reduce the total surface area
of machine-to-floor contact, depending on the
design of the machine.
Lifting using only one ring or different location
could unbalance and tip machine, which could
result in serious crushing injury or machine
damage. To reduce risk of this injury, be sure
to use BOTH lifting rings to lift machine.
