PIPE SET-UP AND POSITION - STEEL PIPE
(MODEL 1007 & 3007)
Set both plastic guide rolls
located on the front of the
Groover, into the correct
holes for the size pipe being
grooved (1/4" allen wrench).
Make sure the knurled stop
(groove diameter stop) is not in
contact with the top surface of
the groover housing. If contact
is noted, release hydraulic
pressure by turning the release
valve knob counterclockwise
allowing the groover head to
raise. Turn the knurled stop
counterclockwise sufficiently
to allow clearance between
the bottom of the knurled
Insert pipe over the bottom
roll (groove roll) positioning
the pipe flush against the
front flange of the bottom
roll. Be certain pipe does not
override this flange.
Using the slot on top of the
Roller plate adjustment rod,
lower the guide rolls into firm
contact with the pipe.
Note:
Improper tool adjustment
will cause pipe flare and/or the
pipe to roll out of the machine.
Using the slot on top of the
roller plate adjustment rod,
raise (counterclockwise
rotation) the guide roll
mounting plate sufficiently
to ensure that the top
grooving roll makes contact
with the pipe prior to guide
roll contact.
Close the release valve on
the hydraulic pump by
turning the knob clockwise.
Pump the hydraulic hand
pump to lower the top
grooving roll into light firm
contact ( approx. 100 psi)
with the pipe.
Use one (1) roller pipe stand to support the pipe. Adjust the outboard pipe
stand to assure proper contact between the pipe and guide rolls. Pipe stand
should be 65% - 75% of the pipe length away from Groover. Looking at the
front of the Groover, the pipe stand should be positioned to angle the pipe
approximately 0° to
1
/
4
° downward, away from the front of the groover and
1
/
4
° to the left side at the Groover. See figures above.
