Site Considerations; Clean Up - Grizzly Model G0550 Instruction Manual

Site Considerations

Floor Load
The Model G0550 weighs 410 lbs and has a 25"
x 25" footprint. The Model G0551 weighs 450 lbs
and has a 21" x 21" footprint. Most commercial
floors are suitable for the machine. Some resi-
dential floors may require additional reinforce-
ment to support both the machine and operator.
Working Clearances
Consider existing and anticipated needs, size of
material to be processed through each machine,
and space for auxiliary stands, work tables or
other machinery when establishing a location for
the machine. See Figure 6 for the overall dimen-
sions of the Model G0550/G0551.

by keeping
The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy
oil to protect them from corrosion during ship-
ment. Remove this protective coating with a sol-
vent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as
Grizzly's G7895 Degreaser. To clean thoroughly,
some parts may need to be removed. For opti-
mum performance from your machine, make
sure you clean all moving parts or sliding
contact surfaces that are coated. Avoid chlo-
rine-based solvents as they may damage painted
surfaces should they come in contact.

Clean Up

Gasoline and petroleum
products have low flash
points and could explode
if used to clean machin-
ery. DO NOT use gaso-
line or petroleum prod-
ucts to clean the machin-
ery.
Smoking near
could ignite an explosion
or fire and cause serious
injury. DO NOT
while using solvents.
Many of the solvents
commonly used to clean
machinery can be toxic
when inhaled or ingest-
ed. Lack of ventilation
while using these sol-
vents could cause seri-
ous personal health risks
or fire. Take precautions
from this hazard by only
using cleaning solvents
in a well ventilated area.
