INSTALLATION

ASSEMBLE LEG LEVELERS TO
BASE ASSEMBLY
Place leg leveler foot (#43) and 1/2" nut (#60) into tapped
holes in cast leg base (#5), see FIG. 1, and adjust to a uni-
form 1" [25 mm] leaving the nut loose.

LOCATE AND LEVEL THE GRINDER

Set the Grinder on a level concrete floor, on a single
uncracked slab of concrete.
Placing the grinder on a floor that is
badly out of level or broken will
affect grinding quality.
If the unit must be located near a wall, allow adequate space
for operating and servicing. The clearance required around
the grinder is a 36" [90 cm] minimum on the two sides and the
front and 48" [120 cm] minimum to the rear as shown in FIG. 2.
Place a level on the front carriage rail near the center of the
machine and check the level from left to right. See FIG. 3.
Adjust the leveling feet until the machine is level.
Place the level across the front and rear carriage rails
near the left end of the machine. See FIG. 4. Adjust the
two leveling feet on the left end until the rails are level.
Place the level across the front and rear carriage rails
near the right end of the machine. Level the right end in
the same way as the left end. See FIG. 5. For grinding
accuracy, the two ends must be level within +/- .015 in.
(.4 mm) so the frame is not twisted.
Recheck the level in both directions. When satisfactory, tighten
the hex jam nuts (#60) on the leveling feet securely against
the bottom of the base. See FIG. 1. Do not turn the leveling
feet when tightening.
Again recheck the level after the nuts are firmly tightened.
For grinding accuracy, the machine
does not have to be perfectly level.
However, IT IS CRITICAL that
front-to-back leveling be the same at
both ends of the machine.
