12. Remove the shipping bracket securing the base casting
to the head casting. Use a 5 mm hex wrench to remove
the socket head cap screw from the top of the bracket,
and a 14 mm wrench to remove the nut from the bottom
of the bracket.

to the head casting.
13. We recommend replacing the bolt on the head casting,
and keeping the shipping bracket in the event of a future
move.

Before you begin machining operations, you must setup and
align the machine. Complete the following steps in the order
listed:

4.4.1 Level the Machine
Before operating the machine, you must verify that it's
approximately level. While this helps with things like coolant
flow, it doesn't impact machine performance.
To level the machine:
Make note of any high or low spots, and, if required,
adjust the leveling feet.

Remove the coolant screen from the box, and set the
rest aside.
