9. Once mounting holes are aligned, secure lathe
assembly with (4) M12-1.75 x 35 cap screws per
stand leg, as shown in
Figure
17
.
10. If bolting lathe to floor, skip to Step 13.

11. With lathe still supported by lifting straps, use
forklift to raise lathe 4 to 5 inches in preparation for
installing machine feet (see
Figure
18
).
12. Remove top hex nut from feet, insert feet in
mounting holes in leg (see
Figure
18
, inset), then
thread top hex nut back on. Do not tighten hex nuts
yet.
13. Lower machine onto floor, place level on lathe bed,
and make necessary adjustments so bed is level from
side-to-side and front-to-back. This process will help
bedways remain straight and flat.
Note: For best results, use a precision level
that is at least 12" long and sensitive enough to
show a distance movement when a 0.003" shim
(approximately the thickness of one sheet of
standard newspaper) is placed under one end of the
level.
— If you are using machine feet, adjust top and
bottom hex nuts on each leg to level bed; then
tighten hex nuts to secure these adjustments.
— If you are bolting lathe to floor, use shims under
legs to level bed; then tighten mounting fasteners.
14. Tighten hex nuts installed on chisel pan mounting
rod in
Step 3 so they are flush against the inside
of each leg. Then tighten lock nuts to completely
secure mounting rod.
