Grinder Weights - HTC 950 RX Manual

Grinder weights

The HTC 0 RX™ has weights that enable the easy
positioning of the grinder's centre of gravity. There are
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 pic-
ture 2 for normal position.
Move the weight by pulling the pin out and locking it
in out position by turning the pin. See picture . Fold-
ing the weight forwards, as in picture 1 provides extra
high grinding pressure which increases the grinding
effect.
We recommend normal position for the weights. Us-
ing 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 centre of gravity is placed on the driving wheels
instead. This position for the weights applies when
transporting the grinder and when it is tilted backwards
to change the grinding tools.

See page 22, Mounting tools.
When the weights are set to back position, see picture
3 the centre of gravity is moved behind the machine.
This is recommended when using high cutting capac-
ity 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, as there is
a risk of crushing in the event of fault to a push rod.
