3.
Turn the power switch on the side of the
tool to the “ON” position. Turn the selector
switch on the side of the tool to the
“NORMAL” position.
4.
Follow the applicable “Grooving Operation”
section to prepare a trial groove.
5.
If pipe flare is still excessive, or the tool
continues to stall, repeat Steps 1 to 5.
NOTE:
The ram speed control valve affects the
rate at which the upper roll forms the groove
and the rate at which the upper roll advances
to contact the pipe. The rate at which the upper
roll retracts from the pipe will not be affected.
Use of the travel stop knob minimizes the
distance and time required for the upper roll to
travel down to groove the pipe and limits how far
the upper roll retracts.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the tool’s hydraulics:
• Never operate the tool with the flow
control valve completely closed.
• Never attempt to roll groove pipe while
making an adjustment to the flow control
valve.
• Never make adjustments to the flow
control valve while the tool is under
pressure.
Failure to follow these instructions could
result in personal injury and tool damage.
GROOVING SHORT PIPE LENGTHS
CAUTION
• This tool must be used ONLY for
roll grooving pipe designated in the
applicable “Tool Rating and Roll
Selection” section of this manual.
Failure to follow this instruction could
overload the tool, resulting in reduced tool
life and/or damage to the tool.
1.
Before grooving, ensure that all instructions
in the previous sections of this manual
have been followed.
2.
Turn on the main power supply to the tool
(main breaker panel, knife switch, etc.).
3.
Turn the power switch on the side of the
tool to the “ON” position. Ensure that the
selector switch on the side of the tool is in
the “NORMAL” position. The arm/upper roll
assembly will return to its highest position.
4.
Depress the safety foot switch momentarily
to ensure that the tool is operational.
Remove foot from the switch.
