TM-VE414/415MC / Operating and Maintenance Instructions Manual
ADJUSTING THE ROLL GUARDS
CAUTION
• The “Adjusting the Roll Guards” section
shall be completed with every roll change.
• Verify that the upper and lower grooving
rolls are a matched set and are properly
lubricated.
Failure to follow these instructions could
result in property damage or personal injury.
The VE414/415MC guards must be adjusted
every time the rolls are changed, or when the
pipe size or wall thickness is different from the
pipe that was previously grooved.
NOTE: Both the VE414 and the VE414MC use
the same upper and lower grooving roll sets, as
well as other features. Because of similarities
between the VE414MC and the VE414 models,
some of the photos in this section show the
VE414 model. Therefore, some of these photos
may look different from your model.
1.
Ensure that the proper roll set is on the tool
for the pipe size and material. Rolls are marked
with the pipe size, part number, and they are
color coded for the pipe material (refer to the
“Tool Rating and Roll Selection” section). If the
proper rolls are not on the tool, refer to the “Roll
Changing” section.
2. Loosen the wing nuts, and move the
adjustable guards to the fully-up position.
Tighten the wing nuts.
3.
Set the groove diameter stop to the pipe size
and schedule/thickness to be grooved. Back
off the depth adjuster lock, and align the depth
adjuster with the proper diameter and thickness.
Lock the depth adjuster in position with the
depth adjuster lock. Refer to the “Groovable
Pipe Lengths” section.
4. Retract the stabilizer, if necessary, to insert
the pipe onto the lower roll. To do this, loosen
the locking handle, and use the handwheel to
retract the stabilizer roller. Tighten the locking
handle.
