Mounting the XL650

The Loading Bench
  You will need a sturdy bench at least 24" wide and 14" deep, with 44" of overhead clearance. We suggest a minimum  of 1" plywood or equivalent, secured to the back wall. The  work-bench should be tall enough to place your eye level about 18" above the bench.

Note: It is important that the leading edge of the bench has an overhang of at least 3/4". If the overhang is less than 3/4", the crank will interferewith the front of the bench  when  the operating handle is lowered. Optional Strong  Mounts eliminate the need for this overhang.

Tools Needed:
  You will need the following to mount and set up your machine.
1.  Electric drill
2.  17/64" drill bit preferred, 1/4" - 9/32" OK
3.  Mounting Hardware Kit (#14355) or four 1/4" through bolts with nuts and washers. ( If you do not have a Mounting Hardware Kit, ensure that you use 1/4" bolts that are 1 1/2" long plus the thickness of  the bench with large area washers if mounting to wood).
4.  Two 7/16" wrenches or appropriate size for the bolts used.

Mounting Procedure:
A.
  Drill the mounting holes Figure 1:
  1.  Using the machine as a template, mark the four holes.
  2.  Using a 1/4" bit, drill the holes.
B.  Bolt the machine to the bench Figure 2:
Note:  Do not use lag bolts or wood screws as they will not  hold securely!
  1.  Mount the left side of the machine with the small washers on top and the large washers on the bottom Figure 3. Run the two left side nuts down finger tight.
  2.  Place the chute/bin bracket Figure 2 on the right side of the machine. As before, place the small washer on top and the large washers on the bottom and install the nuts.
Note:   The chute/bin mount goes under the two right hand  mounting bolts so it must be installed as you are mounting the machine Figure 2. Check the fit of the chute/bin mount. The chute/bin mount should rest snugly against the frame. Also, make sure that the walls of the chute are parallel and   have not been bent during shipping or installation.
  3.  Use two wrenches to tighten all four mounting bolts and nuts.
