Ok, I give up: how does one remove the chuck? I found the three square-driven locks (I think) and turned them CCW. I felt what might have been a release in the center of the turn; perhaps I retightened by going past it??? Anyway, a gentle tug was not enough. Do I need to give it whack like an R8 tool? If so, where?

BTW, the lathe is still pallet-bound. I think I am close to being able to sling it, and am headed out for proper cribbing before the attempt.

You'd want them turned about halfway as you found out.

Your sling should go in between the headstock and the chuck.
So don't take of the chuck off yet.
