CHECKING AND ADJUSTING THE
TOOL PRIOR TO GROOVING
Every Victaulic roll grooving tool is checked,
adjusted, and tested at the factory prior to
shipment. However, before attempting to operate
the tool, the following checks and adjustments
should be made to ensure proper tool operation.
WARNING
• Always turn off the main power supply
to the tool before making any tool
adjustments.
Failure to follow this instruction could result
in serious personal injury.
GROOVING ROLLS
Ensure that the proper roll set is installed on
the tool for the pipe size and material that will
be grooved. Roll sets are marked with the pipe
size, part number, and they are color coded for
the pipe material. Refer to the applicable “Tool
Rating and Roll Selection” section. If the proper
rolls are not installed on the tool, refer to the
“Roll Changing” section.
CAUTION
• Ensure that the lower-roll retaining bolt is
tight and that the upper shaft is locked
in position.
A loose lower-roll retaining bolt or upper shaft
could cause damage to the tool and rolls.
