5000/10000 FLYWHEEL GRINDER
ROTATION CHECKS
Check rotation of the table and grinding motors on 3 Phase Flywheel Grinders
1. Turn on table motor. Table should rotate in counter clockwise direction when viewed from
the top (see arrow label on edge of table). Turn on grinding motor. Motor should rotate in
clockwise direction when viewed from the top (see arrow label on front of motor).
2. If both the table motor and the grinding motor are rotating the wrong direction, interchange
any two of the three HOT LEADS of the 3 Phase connection at the electrical box (Figure
14). DO NOT INTERCHANGE GROUND WIRE. If the rotation is correct on one motor, but
not the other, contact Van Norman technical assistance.
3. On 1 Phase (Single Phase) machines, if rotation is not correct, contact Van Norman for
assistance.
OPERATION
1. Remove the coolant shroud door at the front of the machine using the two handles. Select a
grinding wheel according to the material to be ground. (See grinding wheel selection, Page
11)
2. Install the grinding wheel (Figure 16) Tighten to 150 In. Lbs. Occasionally it may be
necessary to use a wheel spacer in order to reach to the bottom of a recessed flywheel.
Use the spacer and the longer cap screw provided and install (Figure 16).

3. When a new grinding wheel is installed, or a wheel is re-installed, the wheel should be
dressed or “trued up” (Figure 17).
