Operating Instructions 3-1 SG8 Manual
Chapter 3 Machine Installation:
Location:
The productivity of this machine will depend a great deal on it’s proper initial installation, particularly the
means by which cylinder heads are lifted into the machine as well as the material handling to and from other
operations in your shop.
The proper loading arrangement and location for your SG8 machine is extremely important.
A slow travel (6 to 10 feet / min.) power hoist operated from either a bridge crane or a jib crane arrangement
works very well.
Unpacking:
Carefully uncrate the machine. Remove all tooling from storage compartments and unpack. Locate the
leveling bolts and leveling pads. Clean all surfaces with solvent and rags to remove protective shipping
coatings.
Positioning the Machine:
Machine is very top heavy. Extreme caution should be used at all times when lifting
and positioning the machine!
.Move the skidded machine as close as possible to its final location.
Remove shipping bolts securing machine to pallet. Using the forklift cut-outs provided in base of machine,
raise machine above pallet and remove pallet from under machine. When lifting machine always make sure that
forks protrude all the way under and extend beyond the base of the machine.
At this time the machine should be lowered and adequately supported so as to allow access inside of cabinet to install
the front leveling bolts. Jam nuts should be installed on the leveling bolts then the bolts should be threaded
through from the top side. Install leveling bolts at rear of machine in the same fashion.
Raise the machine and move carefully to the final location. Be certain to allow sufficient clearance to allow access
for leveling and also for connecting air and electrical lines. Lower machine onto leveling pads making certain that
the leveling bolts engage into counterbore on leveling pads.
Be certain nothing interferes with air or electrical lines running from the floating head assembly to the cabinet.
Determine there is no possibility of air or electrical lines dragging on wall surfaces or adjacent machinery.
