SETTING UP THE FLYWHEEL
1. To load the flywheel, remove the front coolant shroud
door, raise the headlock handle and swing the grinding
head into the far right hand corner of the shroud, flipping
the shroud cover out of the way (Figure 18).
2. A cross section diagram of the general method for setting
up a flywheel for grinding is shown in (Figure 19). Detailed
instructions are outlined below. The accuracy of the
ground flywheel will depend to a large extent on the
accuracy and condition of the surface that the flywheel is
mounted on. A flywheel cannot be expected to run true if
it was ground on a surface that was not parallel to the
Crankshaft mounting surface. Whenever a flywheel is
ground while mounted on a surface other than the
Crankshaft mounting surface, careful inspection to assure
parallelism of the two surfaces should be done.
3. Clean the table and lay the proper flange adapter on the
table. Use the largest possible flange adapter for
maximum support. Place your flywheel onto the table with
the Crankshaft mounting surface contacting the flange
adapter (Figure 20).
4. Choose the proper sized centering cone to fit the center
hole in the flywheel. (Figure 21) Select the correct length
of centering cone bolt. Secure your flywheel to the table
by tightening the centering cone bolt. If exact centering is
necessary such as on some recessed flywheels, a dial
indicator may be used to insure accuracy.
5. Position grinding wheel over friction surface to be ground
and lock grinding head in place by pulling headlock handle
on left side of head downward.

6. Replace shroud cover and actuate grinder motor, table
motor and coolant pump. Direct Coolant onto the work
piece so it flows under the grinding wheel. Regulate the
amount of coolant flow by adjusting the valve on rear of
shroud.

NOTE: NEVER GRIND WITHOUT ADEQUATE COOLANT FLOW, and avoid directing
coolant under the table edge.
