power drive (refer to the power drive manu-
facturer’s instructions). If an extension cord is
used, refer to the "Extension Cord
Requirements" section, starting on page 6, for
requirements.
10. Turn the power drive switch to the posi-
tion that will produce CLOCKWISE rotation of
the chuck when viewed from the front of the
tool. On the Victaulic VPD752 or Ridgid 300
Power Drive, placing the switch in the
RE-
VERSE position will produce clockwise rota-
tion of the chuck, lower roll, and pipe.
11. Depress the safety foot switch, check the
rotation of the chuck and lower roll, and make
sure the tool is stable. If rotation is
counter-
clockwise , place the switch on the power
drive to the opposite position. If the tool wob-
bles, make sure the tool is mounted squarely
in the chuck and that the tool is level on the
floor. If the wobble persists, the power drive
support arms are bent or the power drive is
damaged. Have the power drive repaired if
the wobble persists.
PREPARATION FOR GROOVING
The VE46 tool design eliminates the need for
roll changes. However, before attempting to
operate the tool, make sure the correct tool is
used for the pipe size and material being
grooved. Refer to the "Tool Ratings" section
on page 29 for details.
PIPE PREPARATION
For proper tool operation and production of
grooves that are within Victaulic specifica-
tions, the following guidelines must be fol-
lowed.
1. Victaulic recommends square-cut pipe
for use with grooved-end pipe products.
Square-cut pipe MUST be used with Victaulic
FlushSeal
® gaskets. Beveled-end pipe may
be used, provided that the wall thickness is
standard wall (ANSI B36.10) or less and that
the bevel meets ANSI B16.25 (37
1 /
2
º) or ASTM
A-53 (30°). NOTE: Roll grooving beveled-end
pipe may result in unacceptable flare.
2. Raised internal and external weld beads
and seams must be ground flush with the pipe
surface 2 inches (50 mm) back from the pipe
ends.
3. All coarse scale, dirt, and other foreign
material must be removed from the interior
and exterior surfaces of the pipe ends.
WARNING
• The power drive MUST be operated with a safety
foot switch. If the power drive does not contain a
safety foot switch, contact the power drive manufac-
turer.
Operating the tool without a safety foot switch could
result in serious personal injury.
CAUTION
• For maximum grooving roll life, remove foreign
material and loose rust from the interior and exterior
surfaces of the pipe ends. Rust is an abrasive mate-
rial that will wear the surface of grooving rolls.
Foreign material may interfere with or damage groov-
ing rolls, resulting in distorted grooves and grooves
that are out of Victaulic specifications.
