| 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. |
