RECEIVING TOOL
VE414 tools are palletized individually and cov-
ered with a cardboard sleeve designed for use
in reshipping the tool. The stabilizer assembly
and additional roll sets are shipped in a sepa-
rate container.
NOTE:
Be sure to save original shipping mate-
rials for return shipment of rental tools.

TOOL SETUP
1.
Remove all components from the containers
and check to be certain all necessary items are
included. See “Receiving Tool.”
2.
The VE414 is designed to be used in a per-
manent location. It should be located on a level
concrete floor or base. Once located, it should
be leveled and securely anchored (see Figure 1)
in a level position, as a non-level tool can
severely affect proper grooving operation.
When checking tool levelness, place level
directly on tool frame as shown.
The choice of tool location and position should
take into account the following factors:
a.
Pipe handling and support requirements
b.
Power supply requirements
c.
Ambient temperature requirements:
20˚F to 104˚F
d.
Clearance requirements around pipe
stabilizer for easy adjustment
