Just a thought for the future - when moving machinery, its always handy to have some lumps of stout wood - 4x4s or 4x6s, a couple feet long. You never know what you might be able to use them for. In this case I'd have been tempted to put one or more under the knee, then lower the knee so the weight and binder tension comes onto the blocks instead of the screw. I got the impression that the machine is used... but from the pics it looks brand new. Did you drive it through the car-wash on the way home or something? Whenever I buy used stuff I get a thick layer of grime for free.
