POWER HOOK-UP
The tool is supplied with a #12/4 line cord
(3 power, 1 ground). The tool is supplied set up
for 220 volt, 3 phase, 60 Hz power unless speci-
fied otherwise. If 440 volt is to be used, be sure
proper conversions are made. Conversions
include: 1) motor connections; 2) fuse changes;
3) thermal overload unit changes; 4) and trans-
former connections.
Consult electrical wiring diagram on page 32
for information.
Once power is properly connected, the tool
must be checked for proper rotational direc-
tion. Proceed as follows:
1.
Turn main power switch “On” and flip tog-
gle switch to “Jog”. It is located on the left-
hand side of the enclosure.
2.
Depress foot switch and observe the tool’s
lower roll rotation direction and then release
foot switch.
Proper roll rotation is clockwise. If clockwise,
power hook-up is complete; proceed to Pipe
Preparation. If counterclockwise, turn main
power switch off and proceed as follows:
1.
Disconnect power.
2.
Reverse any two (2) of three (3) power leads
at the power source.
• ONLY QUALIFIED ELECTRI-
CIANS SHOULD CONNECT OR
DISCONNECT INCOMING
POWER TO TOOL.
Failure to do so could result in
death or serious personal injury.
3.
Turn main power switch “On” and flip tog-
gle switch to “Jog” and retest rotational direc-
tion. It should now be clockwise. If not, consult
the Victaulic Tool Company.
PRE-OPERATION
ADJUSTMENTS
Every Vic-Easy tool is checked, adjusted and
tested at the factory prior to shipment. Before
grooving, however, the following adjustments
must be made in sequence to make sure of
proper tool operation.
GROOVING ROLLS
Make sure the proper roll set is on the tool for
the pipe size and material to be grooved. They
are marked with the pipe size, part number
and color coded for the pipe material to be
grooved. See Tool Rating and Roll Selection
chart on pages 33 and 34. If proper rolls are not
on tool, refer to Roll Changing on page 20.
PIPE PREPARATION
For proper tool operation, and production of
proper pipe grooves, carefully observe the fol-
lowing pipe preparation tips.
1.
Pipe ends should be cut squarely in accor-
dance with Column 2 note in the appropriate
Roll Groove Specification chart, pages 35 - 38.
2.
Internal or external weld bead or seams
must be ground flush with the pipe surface
extending 2" back from the pipe end.
• Always turn off power before making any tool
adjustments unless instructed otherwise.
Accidental start up of tool may result in serious
personal injury.
• Make sure roll retaining bolts and set screws are
tight.
Loose retaining bolts or set screws could seriously
damage both the tool and rolls.
