5.3 USING THE EQUIPMENT
The following instructions are for operating the flange facing machine correctly once installed
on a flange (see Section 5.2 Setting up the Equipment).
5.3.1 Connection to Air Supply
The air supply must always be connected to the machine using the Filter Lubricator
Pack supplied (Fig. 24). Use of the machine without the Filter Lubricator Pack will
result in premature motor failure.
A gate valve on the pack is used to set the machine speed at the desired RPM when
the control valve is fully open. To set the speed proceed as follows:
1. Observe all Warnings and Cautions; refer to Sections 3 and 5.1.
2. Set traverse direction selector to 'N' (feed disengaged).
3. Connect the air lines
4. Close the gate valve and open the control valve.
5. Turn on the main air supply.
6. Open the gate valve until the desired rotational speed is obtained.
7. Close the control valve.
The optimum speed may vary with different applications.
Check the filter is venting by unscrewing the water drain. Leave a small amount of
air always escaping, this will keep the filter clear of water.
