Follow these guidelines when lifting with truck or trolley: •...
INSTALLATION IMPORTANT: Consider the following when looking for a suitable location to place the machine: • Overall weight of the machine. • Weight of material being processed. • Sizes of material to be processed through the machine. • Space needed for auxiliary stands, work tables, or other machinery. •...
Anchoring the Machine • Once positioned, anchor the machine to the floor, as shown in the diagram. Use bolts and expansion plugs or sunken tie rods that connect through and are sized for the holes in the base of .31" the stand.

Staggered Stop Pattern With this pattern, the track alternates randomly between three different sets of lines. Note: Marking the workpiece with a non- permanent marker so you can see the outside, middle and inside lines more clearly. Clean the wheels and workpiece when you are finished.
Selecting Lower Wheels Choose a lower wheel that will produce the contour you desire. Flat lower wheels are good for adding gentle curves to large metal panels; these wheels have wide flat surfaces profiles Domed lower wheels create tighter curves. The flat areas range from 1/8” to 3/4" (3.175 to 19.05mm).
MACHINE ADJUSTMENTS Wheel Replacement A flat upper and lower wheel are preinstalled on the English wheel. The lower wheel can be replaced with any of the other lower wheel wheels. Important: Hold an upper wheel securely when installing or removing it or it may fall causing injury or damage! Wear steel toe foot-wear to protect your feet.
LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE WARNING: Maintenance should be performed on a regular basis by qualified personnel. Always follow proper safety precautions when working on or around any machinery. • Check daily for any unsafe conditions and fix immediately. • Check that all nuts and bolts are properly tightened. •...
