Remo ing Machine From Pallet
You will need a forklif wi h a minimum of 6’ forks o remove he Au oMa e CNC Mill from he
palle . If you do no own one, you can ren one from a local equipmen ren al shop. We highly
recommend a forklif over any o her me hod of ranspor ing his machine, acciden s will be less
likely o occur due o he machine and cra e no being 100% s abilized. A ipped or dropped
machine will resul in significan damage o he machine and any individual loca ed in i s
vicini y. There are four bol s securing he machine o he palle , use an adjus able wrench o
remove nu s loca ed on he machine. Once have been removed, he a ached bol s will likely
fall hrough. If he bol s do no fall hrough, jus ap he screws hrough he cas ing and palle .
Remove he shee me al cover from he lower fron of he machine. I is a ached wi h several
Allen head cap screws. This will allow access o he bol s holding he machine o he “C”
channel. he nu s
The machine can be picked up from ei her he fron or back. Shop floor layou will de ermine
which me hod is bes for your si ua ion. Molded in o he base cas ings are slo s for forklif
forks. Inser forks in o base as far as hey will go wi hou hi ing he elec rical box or chip guard
enclosure. Lif he machine only high enough o slide palle ou from undernea h. As always,
be cau ious and ry o keep sudden movemen s o a minimum. Once he palle is removed,
gen ly lower he machine un il i is a few inches off he ground. Loca e he leveling screws and
pads ha were shipped wi h he machine.

Le eling Machine
Adjus ing machine ools so hey are level is very impor an and has benefi s ha aren’ of en
considered. Ver ical machining cen ers produce more accura e par s ha will las longer when
properly leveled. A machine ool ha isn’ properly leveled will no lubrica e evenly hroughou
he machine and cause par s o wear unevenly.

1. Screw he hreaded rod all he way down in o he leveling foo .
2. Place he beveled washer over he hreaded rod wi h he bevel down.
3. Unscrew he large adjus ing ring of he leveling foo .5” above he base of he foo . This
will ensure ha you will have bo h up and down movemen available when leveling he
machine.
4. Ins all he leveling fee in each of he four loca ions on he machine and a ach he foo
wi h he hex nu . DO NOT igh en he hex nu a his ime, i mus remain loose un il
he leveling process is comple ed.
Once he leveling fee are ins alled, place he machine in i ’s final loca ion. Lower i slowly o
he floor. Sudden dropping of he machine can cause severe loss of precision. Then remove
he forklif and adjus he leveling screws as needed o make sure all four fee are securely on
he floor. This is a preliminary adjus men only.
Connecting The Electrical
All elec rical work mus be done according o he Na ional Elec rical Code and any o her local
elec rical codes and safe y requiremen s. I is recommended ha a licensed elec rician perform
hese asks. 3 phase power mus be connec ed o he L1, L2, and L3 erminals inside he
machine.
Power mus be rou ed hrough an approved 40 amp breaker. Important!!! Wire size and length must
conform to local electrical codes. The neu ral line is no used as a ground. A separa e ground
conduc or mus be run o ear h ground.
Connecting The Hydraulics (optional hydraulic chuck)
All hydraulic hoses for he machine are already ins alled on he machine i self. They require a achmen
o he hydraulic power module.
Connec he wo pressure lines and re urn line o he hydraulic power module. Hoses are
marked on he hose as o proper loca ion on he module.
