ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS/OPERATIONS
FIGURE 28
CAUTION
Do not utilize excessive force when removing a
multi-accessory attachment with the pry bar.
Excessive force can result in damage to the
aluminum disc. Proper removal techniques by
both methods will result in minimal damage to
the aluminum disc.
4) Return the SURFACE GRINDER to its normal
operating position.
5) If the SURFACE GRINDER is powered by an
engine, reconnect the spark plug wire. If
powered by an electric motor and the machine is
to be used immediately, reconnect the extension
cord or SURFACE GRINDER from the power
source. Determine that the ON/OFF switch
located on the operator handle is in the OFF
position.
DANGER
UNEXPECTED MACHINE START UP CAN
RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR
PERSONAL INJURY.
TRANSPORTING THE SURFACE GRINDER.
Application: All Models.
The SURFACE GRINDER has an operational weight
that prohibits one person from loading and/or
unloading it alone by conventional, physical efforts.
DANGER
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LIFT THE SURFACE
GRINDER UP INTO A TRANSPORTATION
VEHICLE WITH THE USE OF ONE PERSON
ALONE. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LOWER THE
SURFACE GRINDER FROM A
TRANSPORTATION VEHICLE WITH THE USE OF
ONE PERSON ALONE. LIFT AND/OR LOWER
THE SURFACE GRINDER ONLY BY THE USE OF
A POWER TAILGATE UNIT, A SUITABLE HOIST
UNIT OF PROPER CAPACITY AND/OR
CONFIGURATION OR BY THE USE OF A
PROPER QUANTITY OF PERSONNEL IN
PROPER PHYSICAL CONDITION.
1) A lifting bail device can be used to facilitate
lifting by a mechanical device incorporating a
chain and suitable attachment device. The
location of the lifting bail may not always locate
the exact position of the center of gravity for the
SURFACE GRINDER. Lifting handles are also
provided on both sides of the transmission case.
These handles can be utilized by personnel
whenever lifting/lowering the SURFACE
GRINDER or as attachment points for a chain
sling whenever a suitable hoisting device is
utilized. FIGURE 29.
DANGER
EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN
UTILIZING A MECHANICAL DEVICE FOR
LIFTING THE SURFACE GRINDER. UTILIZE THE
MECHANICAL DEVICE IN ACCORDANCE TO
BOTH ITS STATED STATIC AND DYNAMIC
LOADING ENVELOPES. DO NOT UTILIZE THE
MECHANICAL DEVICE UNTIL THIS
INFORMATION IS PROPERLY KNOWN AND
UNDERSTOOD BY ALL APPLICABLE
PERSONNEL. FAILURE TO PROPERLY UTILIZE
THE MECHANICAL DEVICE CAN RESULT IN
PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL
INJURY.
2) When transporting the SURFACE GRINDER on
a motor vehicle, the fuel tank breather vent (if so
equipped) must be completely closed to eliminate
the accidental seepage of fuel and resulting potential
fire and environmental hazards.
3) To minimize the possibility of damage to the
SURFACE GRINDER, always transport in its
normal, upright position. All equipment must be
secured in/on vehicles with suitable strapping or tie-
downs. Personnel should not be transported in the
same compartment as equipment and fuel supplies.
