Operating Procedures

OPERATION

1.Observe all safety precautions.

2.Always start the grinder with the grinding wheel away from the work surface by turning the hand wheel counter clockwise to raise the wheel.

3.Move the hydraulic circuit control valve to the ON position.

4.Squeeze the trigger momentarily. If the grinder does not operate, the hoses might be reversed. Verify correct connection of the hoses before continuing.

5.Start the grinder and move the grinding wheel to the work surface by turning the hand wheel clockwise.

6.Grind a small amount of material at a time adjusting the grinding wheel as necessary by turning the hand wheel.

NOTE:

If the grinder is not loaded against a work surface when the trigger is released, the wheel will take 5-10 seconds to come to a complete stop. Avoid uninten- tional contact of the grinding wheel during the coast down period.

COLD WEATHER OPERATION

If the grinder is to be used during cold weather, preheat the hydraulic fluid at low engine speed. When using the normally recommended fluids, fluid temperature should be at or above 50 °F/10 °C (400 ssu/82 centistokes) be- fore use.

Damage to the hydraulic system or grinder can result from use with fluid that is to viscous or too thick.
