NOTICE
on both carbon and stainless steel pipe can lead to con-
tamination of the stainless steel material. This contamina-
tion could cause corrosion and premature pipe failure. To
prevent ferrous contamination of stainless steel pipe, use roll
sets dedicated for stainless steel roll grooving. Alternately,
a stainless steel wire brush may be used to thoroughly
clean the roll set when switching between materials.

been inspected per it's manual. Confirm the presence

drive/threading machine as directed in it's manual.
Make sure that the machine and stand are stable and
do not wobble.

Mounting The 975 Combo Groover Onto
A RIDGID 300 Power Drive
1. If the power drive to be used is equipped with a car-
riage or other attachments, remove them from the
power drive. Make sure the power drive support
arms are fully forward and fixed in position.
2. Place the support arms of the roll groover onto the
support arms of the power drive and the end of the roll
groover driveshaft in the chuck of the machine. Close
and tighten the power drive chuck onto the flats of the
driveshaft. Make sure that the driveshaft is centered
in the chuck. Use repeated and forceful counter-
clockwise spins of the speed chuck hammerwheel to
securely grip the driveshaft (Figure 3) .

When using the 975 Combo Roll Groover with a 300
Compact Threading Machine, an adapter kit (Catalog
Number 67662) must be used. This adapter kit properly
positions the 975 Combo Roll Groover relative to the
threading machine and stand and to allow the complete
range of sizes to be grooved. Do not try to use the 975
Combo Groover with any other threading machine, as tip-
ping or other issues may result.
1. Install the drive bar adapter onto the roll groover
drive shaft (See Figure 4) . Align set screws with the
flats on the roll groover drive shaft and firmly tighten.

2. Move carriage on the 300 Compact Threading Ma -
chine as close to the machine chuck as possible.
Move the cutter, reamer and die head in to the posi-
tion away from the operator, so they are out of the
way. Position reamer cone inside of die head.
