Pre-Operation Inspection

WARNING
Do not use this roll groover with a power drive/-
threading machine that does not have a foot switch
Before each use, inspect your roll groover and cor-
rect any problems to reduce the risk of serious
injury from crushing injuries and other causes and
prevent roll groover damage.
1. If installed on a machine, place the machine switch in
the OFF position and unplug.
2. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from the roll groover, in-
cluding the pump handle and stabilizer crank handle.
This aids inspection and helps prevent the machine or
control from slipping from your grip.
3. Inspect the roll groover for the following:
• Proper assembly, maintenance and completeness.
• Broken, worn, missing, misaligned or binding parts.
• Hydraulic leaks. Oil on the groover can indicate a
hydraulic leak.
• Presence and condition of the guard (See Figure 1).
Do not operate the roll groover without the guard.
• Presence and readability of the warning label (see
Figure 6).
• Condition of the groove roll and drive roll. If the
drive roll knurls are dirty, clean with a wire brush.
Dirty or worn knurls can cause pipe slippage and
tracking issues during grooving.
