the head to raise into position. Do not remove the nuts; just break the nuts loose.
3. Turn the hex head of the worm shaft (B, Fig. 2) using a 19mm socket and breaker bar. Raise the head aligning the zero marks on the scales. With the help of another person support the head while it is raising.
4. Tighten the four bolts (A, Fig. 1).
5. Loosen the two ram locking handles (C, Fig. 1) and move the ram forward by turning the hex head of the ram pinion (D, Fig. 1) with a 19mm socket and breaker bar.
6. Tighten the ram locking handles before lifting.
33. Finish removing the crate. Leave the mill bolted to the pallet until it is ready to be moved to its final location.
34. Remove the toolbox from the base. It is accessed by removing four screws that hold the rear cover in place.
35. Clean all rust protected surfaces with kerosene, or a light solvent. Do not use gasoline, paint thinner, or lacquer thinner. These will damage painted surfaces.
36. Cover all machined surfaces with a film of light machine tool oil to inhibit rust.

7.3 Site Preparation

Mill must be supported equally under all four corners. Failure to comply may cause the column to tw ist and put a bind in the bedways.
The mill must be placed on an even surface, bolted to the floor, or placed on the leveling pads. Choose a location for the mill that is dry, has good lighting, and has enough room to be able to service the mill on all four sides. Review the JTM-1055 Layout in section 6.0.

7.4 Lifting the Mill

1. Remove the four nuts that hold the unit to the
pallet.
2. Raise the head by loosening four nuts, (A, Fig.
1) with a 22mm wrench, just enough to allow
Figure 1
The preferred method for lifting the mill is with a hook through the eye bolt in the ram (E, Fig. 1). Make sure the chain and hook are properly rated for the weight of the mill. Make sure the chain is not twisted and lift slowly. Make sure the mill is balanced before moving.
Carefully move the mill over the site. Lower the mill over the anchor bolts, or leveling pads. The leveling pads included in the toolbox and the leveling screws will help you to reach a level position. Check the mill for level with a machinist's level placed on the table. Mill must be level back to front and side to side. Shim if necessary when bolting to the floor, but remember that the mill must be supported equally at all four corners. Check for level before tightening the anchor bolt nuts and after tightening them. Adjust as necessary.

7.5 Electrical Connections

All electrical connections must be made by a qualified electrician. Failure to comply may cause serious or fatal injury.
The JTM-1055 mill is rated at 230/460V, 3Ph and comes from the factory prewired at 230V.
Confirm power at the site matches power requirements of the mill before connecting to the power source. The power source should be dedicated to the JTM-1055 mill. The main power switch is located on the right side of the machine. Remove the cover, and run the main power cable through the box and attach the ground, followed by power leads. Replace the cover.
Check for proper spindle rotation in the high speed range. The spindle should rotate clockwise when viewed from the top of the machine. If the spindle rotates counter-clockwise, disconnect from the power source, and switch two of the power leads.
To change from 230V to 460V operation, remove the junction box cover on the motor, and change the wires according to the diagram found on the inside of the cover. Also see the wiring diagram at the back of this manual.
The mill must be properly grounded.
