Makino EDGE-2 PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKLIST 

– Rev 01/2009 

 

Installation of your new Makino EDGE-2 can be smooth and rapid if preparations are made prior to the delivery of 
your machine.  Any questions regarding machine installation should be directed to our service department for 
clarification.  We hope this checklist will aid in a rapid installation of your new machine.  

NOTE:  The following 

must be completed prior to our service technician arriving to install your new machine.

 

 

¾

  Power Requirements for your machine:    30 Amp/3 phase/9kVa 

  

*Voltage of 200 to 480 at +/- 10% must be maintained.  If not, an Automatic Voltage Regulator should be used. 
Proper voltage per machine specifications should be ready at machine site. 

Do NOT power up the machine.

 

See Makino Installation Manual for more information, or contact our Service Department with any 
questions.

 

 

¾

  Customer should furnish and have available the proper supply and types of lubricants required for machine 

operation. 
 

ITEM CAPACITY 

FLUID 

TYPE 

Dielectric Oil 

52.8 Gal 

IONO Plus+ 

You will need to have Dielectric Oil on hand for installation.  Contact our Service Department for more 
information. 
 

¾

  Air lines should be routed to the machine location and operational for proper air pressure.   

 

Clean, Dry Compressed Air of 70 psi. must be available; less than 40% relative humidity; In-line water trap 
recommended.  

 

¾

  Machine location should be planned to allow enough room for access panels to be opened and serviced with 

ease.  A minimum of 36” is required around the machine for operator and maintenance access. 
 

¾

  Weight requirements should be checked to insure that the surface below the machine will have sufficient 

strength for support and stability. The machine must be set on a solid, sound and stable, steel bar-reinforced 
concrete slab poured directly on the grade.  In general, the 6” concrete floor on industrial buildings is suitable 
for machine placement. 
 

¾

 

The EDGE-2 is best moved with a forklift.  See Makino Installation Manual for lifting instructions. 
**NOTE 1: LIFTING EQUIPMENT, ROPES, SCHACKLES, LIFTING BARS, LIFTING BEAMS, ETC. ARE 
OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT AND ARE NOT PROVIDED WITH THE MACHINE.  ITEMS MUST BE 
PURCHASED PRIOR TO MACHINE DELIVERY IF LIFTING WITH OVERHEAD/CRANE.  

Upon arrival of 

your machine, uncrate and immediately check for visible damage. 

 

SHIPPING WEIGHT 

SHIPPING DIMENSIONS OF MACHINE 

8,377 # (Skidded/wrapped) 

91" L x 91" W x 96" H (Skidded/wrapped) 

See Makino Installation Manual for floor space requirements/dimensions – will vary depending upon the 
options you purchase. 

 

¾

 

Remove as much preservative from the machine as possible without having to power up (tables – 
slides, pulleys, etc.).  We recommend mineral spirits to clean.  Apply oil when finished to prevent rust. 

 
 

PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO THE APPROPRIATE PERSON. THANK YOU.
