ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS/OPERATIONS

DANGER

WHEN OPERATING THE SURFACE GRINDER ON ABOVE GROUND FLOOR LEVELS, EXERCISE EX- TREME CAUTIONTO PREVENT LOSS OF CONTROL THAT COULD ALLOWTHE MACHINE AND/OR OPERA- TOR TO FALL DOWN TO LOWER LEVELS. SUCH AN OCCURRENCE CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.

2)Productivity rates with the various multi-accessory attachments can be increased with the addition of external weight being applied to the area over the rotating disc. FIGURE 36. Maximum allowable external weight is 300 lbs. Exceeding this figure can result in permanent structural damage to the SURFACE GRINDER. Provisions for securing the weight by the means of strapping or other, appropriate methods is provided.

3)Proper operator posture and stance will enhance operational safety and overall productivity. FIGURE 38. For most job applications, operate the engine at maximum, governed speed. Consult the material supplied by the engine manufacturer and the SPECIFICATIONS section for specific information.

4)The wide variety of potential work surface materials along with the corresponding variety of job site environments, makes it impossible to develop a standardized operating procedure for the SURFACE GRINDER. Use of the SURFACE GRINDER will require constant trial and error testing until satisfactory results are achieved. Experience gained over time and common sense will help minimize the amount of necessary testing. Many factors will directly affect the operating parameters and/or techniques utilized for a specialized job application. Some of these factors include:

a)Work surface material yield and tensile values. As a general rule, these values will determine material removal rate per unit of time. Materials with high yield and tensile values will characteristically resist/ limit material penetration. For such materials, the accepted procedure is to make a number of multiple passes over the work surface rather than attempt to make a single, deep pass. The net effect is to actually increase productivity: more material removed in less time. Other added benefits to this technique are decreased vibration, less operator fatigue and increased component service life.

DANGER

DO NOT OPERATE THE SURFACE GRINDER WITH-

OUT ALL EXTERNALWEIGHT PROPERLY SECURED

TOTHE MAIN FRAME. A SUDDEN CHANGE IN MOVE-

MENT OR DIRECTION CAN ALLOW THE

UNSECURED WEIGHTTO FALL OFFTHE SURFACE

GRINDER, RESULTING IN LOSS OF MACHINE CON-

TROL, PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL

INJURY.THIS PROCEDURE IS ESPECIALLY IMPOR-

TANT WHEN OPERATING THE SURFACE GRINDER

ON FLOORS AND/OR SURFACES ABOVE GROUND

LEVEL.
