Assembly - Grizzly G1128 Instruction Manual

SECTION 4: ASSEMBLY
Most of your G1128/G1129 Power Feeder has
been assembled at the factory, but some parts
must be assembled or installed after delivery. We
have organized the assembly process into steps.
Please follow along in the order presented here.
Note: Read Section 4 in its entirety before begin-
ning assembly.
1. (Step 1 for G1129 only) Insert the horizontal
shaft through the shaft coupler. The gear
rack on the horizontal shaft should engage.
2. Turn the distance adjustment wheel so that
the shaft coupler is approximately centered
on the horizontal shaft. Turn the height
adjustment wheel so that the shaft coupler
is approximately centered on the vertical
shaft.
3. Attach the pivot joint assembly to the end
of the horizontal shaft. Secure with the
locking handle.
4. Remove the base by loosening the lock
handle. Set the shaft assembly to the side.
5. Find the best mounting location on your
woodworking machine. Guidelines:
a. The power feeder should not affect any
moving machine parts.
b. It should be as close to the work area as
possible, i.e., keep the distance between the
base and rollers to a minimum.
c. Test the location by temporarily mounting
the base on a stable piece of hardwood
which is clamped to the machine. Swing the
power feeder in a variety of positions to
ensure that the base is best suited to your
anticipated needs.

WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE
THE POWER FEEDER UNTIL IT IS PERMA-
NENTLY MOUNTED TO THE TABLE TOP!
MOUNTING THE POWER FEEDER TO YOUR
MACHINE WILL MAKE IT TOP HEAVY.
SECURELY ATTACH YOUR MACHINE TO THE
FLOOR OF YOUR SHOP.
6. Use the base as your template and mark the
outside perimeter of the base and the loca-
tions of the four bolt holes on your table.
7. Measure the distances of the four mounting
holes from the edges of the table with an
accurate ruler. Compare those measure-
ments with the bottom of the table. Ensure
that the mounting holes will not be over the
cast braces on the underside of the table.
8. Drill 3 ⁄ " diameter holes through your table.

Use ⁄ " through bolts of sufficient length with
16
flat and lock washers to attach the base.
They will provide added support.
9. Re-insert the shaft assembly into the base.
Orient the horizontal shaft properly. Tighten
the lock handle.
G1129 ONLY: Tighten the cap screw on the
base to inhibit spinning of the vertical shaft.
10. Mount the motor/wheel assembly to the
pivot joint assembly.
G1128: Screw the lower lock handle into the
hole on the wheel housing.
G1129: Remove the handle and screw from
the motor clamp assembly (MCA). Place
the outer half of the MCA off to one side.
Position the motor/wheel assembly so the
MCA clamps around the bottom of the motor.
Replace the outer half of the MCA. Tighten
securely with the handle and screw.
