Lowering the Machine onto its Foundation
After lifting the machine from its shipping pallet, position the machine over the spot
where the machine is to be installed.
1. Lower the machine to within 150 to 250 mm (6 to 10 inches) of the floor. Do
not set the machine down.
2. Position the leveling pads directly beneath the leveling bolts.
3. Adjust the leveling bolts to half travel.
4. Lower the machine onto the leveling pads. Each leveling bolt should be
touching a leveling pad.
5. Adjust the leveling bolts to rough level the machine.
• Equal weight on all leveling pads.
• Each bolt is touching a pad.
• Bolts are inserted approximately half way to allow equipment to fit
beneath the machine.
• Adjust the leveling bolts about halfway, so the coolant tanks can clear the
bottom of the enclosure, on applicable machines.
• Adjust the leveling bolts until they press into the indentation underlying
the footpad, on applicable machines.
• Adjust all screws evenly to the same torque so that the machine is in
balance.
6. Once the machine is resting on all leveling pads, remove the forklift (or crane).
A spreader bar and cables rated to hold the machine’s weight are

All leveling bolts—including the center ones—must be used in rough
leveling to evenly support the machine.
• Do not remove any bracing on the machine.
• Do not remove equipment from inside the machine.
• Do not remove auxiliary equipment from a second pallet, if
equipped.
