Getting Started
Your new KVAL Machine arrives at your plant crated, banded, taped and has painted
set collars on all shafts; keeping all of the precision moving parts secure during shipping.
1. Move the machine as close to the area it will be stationed before removing the
crate to protect against damaging the machine with the forklift.
2. Remove the machine from the crate. Be careful! Anytime the machine is lifted
to remove the skids there is a chance of the machine dropping suddenly, and
damaging the machine, or injuring people near the machine.
3. Remove all painted set collars from the shafts. Just about every shaft on the
machine has set collars to secure the moveable assembly mounted to the
shafts.
4. Take off any tape securing the various buttons, switches and knobs.
5. Level your KVAL machine by putting metal shims underneath the corners of
the base. Leave a clear shot from the bolt holes in the foot pads to your shop
floor. Now, make sure the machine won’t rock back and forth.
6. Once the machine is level, anchor it to the floor so that it won’t move across
the floor during operation. KVAL recommends a ½ RED HEAD, TRUE
BOLT ANCHOR in each of the foot pads. When drilling the concrete for the
anchor bolts use a 5/8 bit.
