Optimum TU3008V Bench Lathe - Transport, Installation and Modification

In spring 2024, I decided to replace my existing small bench lathe with a larger model with more power and a larger swing over bed. I was lucky enough to acquire an Optimum TU3008V on the second-hand market.
The Optimum TU3008V is the predecessor model of the 3008VB and has a brushless motor drive and can be operated with 220 V single-phase current.
I had to use a ramp and a trolley to transport the 240 kg machine to my basement, which is 2 metres lower.
I also had to make some modifications to the machine and scrape the lathe bed for better performance.
I am not a professional machinist. As a pure hobbyist, this machine is more than adequate for my needs and available budget.
