DFG-SERIES SURFACE GRINDERS OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL REV #3 (07/13/06) PAGE 15
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS/OPERATIONS
Assembly
The DFG Series SURFACE GRINDER is shipped
from the factory secured on a specially designed
wooden pallet and protected from external damage
by a corrugated carton or wood crate. If shipped with
a corrugated carton, the SURFACE GRINDER can
be secured to the pallet by wood laths nailed to the
pallet body. Remove the carton or crate immediately
upon receipt using suitable tools to remove the nails.
REMOVING THE SURFACE GRINDER FROM THE
PALLET.
Application: All Models
Tools Required:
1 each, pliers.
1 each, claw hammer or a hammer and an
appropriate pry bar.
The SURFACE GRINDER is secured to the pallet
with steel banding. Using the pliers, cut and remove
the banding. The SURFACE GRINDER can then be
removed from the pallet.
DANGER
WEAR SAFETY GLASSES AND OTHER
APPROPRIATE SAFETY APPAREL WHEN
CUTTING THE STEEL BANDING AND/OR
REMOVING THE CORRUGATED/WOOD
SHIPPING CRATE.
Visually inspect the shipment for freight damage
and/or missing parts. If shipping damage is evident,
contact the delivering carrier immediately to arrange
for an inspection of the damage by their claims
representative. Federal law requires that a claim be
filed within a specific time period. If missing parts are
detected, notify your dealer who will assist you in
obtaining them.
The SURFACE GRINDER is shipped from the
factory completely assembled. If ordered with the
SURFACE GRINDER, multi-accessory attachments
are normally shipped separately to minimize the
potential for loss during shipment.
Check all fasteners for proper security. Consult a
fastener torque chart for the proper torque value if
any fastener is found to require retorquing.
After April 1, 1996 all SURFACE GRINDERS are
shipped from the factory with the SG24-1000 Safety
and Dust Shield Assembly Kit included as a
standard accessory. The kit is included in a separate
package and is not normally installed by factory
personnel. The owner and/ or operator (has) have
the option to install the skirt assembly for any
specific job application. The DFG-1000 Safety and
Dust Shield is designed to perform the following job
functions:
1) To contain loose materials within the platform
area of the SURFACE GRINDER as a direct
result of a specific grinding process. This
includes materials removed from the surface as
well as any slurry mixture utilized to help
maximize material removal efficiencies.
2) To provide a method for a vacuum system to
help remove airborne dust related materials from
within the skirt assembly. Dust related materials
are usually created as a result of the grinding
process. A specific job application may require
the reduction and/or minimization of airborne
dust related materials from the atmosphere
while the SURFACE GRINDER is being
operated. The kit includes a hose and necessary
hardware to connect the skirt assembly to the 3
inch diameter vacuum attachment fitting located
at the rear of the machine. Use of the kit along
with a suitable vacuum system will not
completely remove all airborne and loose
materials directly from the work surface.
DANGER
THE USE OF THE SG24-1000 SAFETY AND DUST
SHIELD ASSEMBLY KIT ALONG WITH A
SUITABLE VACUUM SYSTEM TO REMOVE
HAZARDOUS CLASSIFIED, AIRBORNE
MATERIALS FROM THE WORK SURFACE WILL
NOT ELIMINATE THE REQUIREMENT FOR
PROPER SAFETY RELATED EQUIPMENT,
OPERATING PLAN AND/OR PROCEDURES.
DANGER
USE OF THE SG24-1000 SAFETY AND DUST
SHIELD ASSEMBLY KIT ALONG WITH A
SUITABLE VACUUM SYSTEM WILL NOT
COMPLETELY REMOVE ALL LOOSE
MATERIALS FROM THE WORK SURFACE.
HAZARDOUS CLASSIFIED, LOOSE MATERIALS
MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE WORK
SURFACE BY PROCESSES AND/OR
PROCEDURES MEETING THE APPLICABLE
OSHA AND/OR EPA REQUIREMENTS.
