RECEIVING
AND
CLEANING
After the
lathe
has
been
uncrated
down to
the
sk
i
ds,
remove
the
packing
list
from
the
parts
box and
check
the
shipment.
Any
shortage
or
discrepancy
found should be
reported
immedi
-
ately
to
The
Monarch
Machine
Tool
Company,
Sidney, Ohio. Always, when
referring
to
the
machine,
mention
the
serial
number.
This
is
stamped
on
the
identification
plate
attached
to
the
front
of
the
headstock.
The
lathe
should
re-
main
on
the
skids
until
it
is
moved
as
close
as
possible
to
the
point of
installation.
From
the
time
the
lathe
is
uncrated
until
all
of
the
"anti-rust"
compound
is
removed
none of
the
working
parts
such
as
the
carriage,
tailstock
and
levers
should be moved.
The
vigorous
ap-
plication
of a
brush
and a
suitable
solvent
re-
moves
this
compound quickly.
After
the
lathe
has
been thoroughly
cleaned
apply a thin
film
of
oil
to
the
bed
ways.
LIFTING
Be
sure
to
exercise
great
care
when lifting and
moving
the
machine.
Serious
damage
can
result
if
the
lathe
is
dropped
or
the
leadscrew
and
con-
trol
rods
at
the
front
of
the
bed
are
bent.
CAUTION:
Be
sure
to
select
cables
with
suffi-
cient
strength
for
the
job, and
al-
ways
balance
the
load
before
lifting.
