Grinder Weights - HTC 650 HDX Manual

Grinder weights

The HTC 650 has weights that enable the easy move-
ment of the grinder's center of gravity. There are two
weight locks on each weight for locking the weights in
either up or down position. The weights can also be set
to back position (towards the operator). See Picture 2
for normal position.
Move the weight by pulling the pin out and locking it in
out position by turning the pin. See Picture 1. Hanging
the weights forward, as in Picture 1, provides extra high
grinding pressure which increases the grinding effect.
We recommend normal position for the weights. Using
the wrong tools with a grinding pressure that is too high
may damage both the grinder and the floor.
If the weights are set to up position, see Picture 2,
the center of gravity is placed on the wheels instead. This
position for the weights is to be used when the machine is
to be transported. See Page 19, Mounting tools, for more
information.

When the weights are set to back position, see Picture 3,
the center of gravity is moved behind the machine. This
is recommended when using high cutting capacity tools
such as T-Rex™, but also when the grinder is to be tilted
backwards to change the tools.
The weight is not locked in back position. There is a risk
of crushing in the event of fault to a push rod.
