Failure to follow these instructions could
result in serious personal injury.
1.
Remove all components from the packaging,
and ensure that all necessary items are
included. Refer to the “Receiving the Tool”
section.
2. Select a location for the tool and pipe stand
by taking into consideration the following factors:
a.
The required power supply (refer to the
“Power Requirements” section)
b. Ambient temperature requirements of
20º F to 104º F/-6.7ºC to 40º C
c. A level concrete floor or base for the tool
and pipe stand
d.
Adequate space to handle pipe lengths
e. Adequate clearance around the tool
and stabilizer assembly for adjustment and
maintenance
NOTE: An overhead crane shall be used to lift/
transport the tool to its intended location. An eye
bolt is provided in the top-middle section of the
tool. Ensure that the minimum capacity rating of
the overhead crane is 2000 pounds/
910 kilograms. Refer to the “Tool Dimensions
and Specifications” section for additional
information.
3. The VE414/415MC tool is designed for use in
a permanent location and shall be located on a
level concrete floor or base. After an appropriate
location is chosen, the tool shall be leveled
front-to-back and side-to-side and anchored
securely. A non-level tool can severely affect
grooving operation. When checking tool level,
place the level directly on the tool surfaces, as
shown above.
WARNING
• During tool setup, two people are needed
to safely handle the stabilizer assembly
due to its weight.

stabilizer assembly into position.
Failure to follow these instructions could
result in serious personal injury.
