Before you receive your Haas Machine...

Please review the machine dimensions and site requirements and prepare your shop for the machine delivery. Unless prior arrangements were made with your order, you are responsible for rigging the machine off the truck and putting it into position in your facility. Please see the below link for the specific pre-installation guide for your machine.

When Your New Haas Machine Arrives

• For all Haas mills size VF-3 or larger, DO NOT PIVOT CONTROL ARM forward due to the delicate wiring inside.
• Place the machine on leveling pads in the four corners, screws fully extended, grease in the leveling pad dimple and on the screw itself.
• To expedite the installation process, remove as much of the cosmoline, rust inhibitor, as possible from all machine surfaces before the technician arrives. Our Technician will remove what is left when they complete the installation process.
• Connect power to the machine. A separate earth-ground wire of the same conductor size as the input power must be connected to the machine's ground lug from the ground supplied from the main plant ground at service entrance and it should be routed in the same conduit as teh power to the machine. A local cold-water pipe, ground rod, or Conduit air is NOT acceptable. DO NOT TURN THE POWER ON.
• Connect air to the machine per the specifications. This information is included in the Pre-Installation Guide linked above.

All air and power connections, as well as coolant and tooling, must be furnished before requesting a technician to start up your machine. Once all of this is completed, please contact your respective service scheduler.
