Operating Instructions
• BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE OR MOTOR: Raise the front of the machine clear of the working surface.
• START ENGINE/MOTOR AND ALLOW IT TO REACH OPERATING SPEED. Position the grinder at the starting
point. Bring the engine to full speed. Lower the machine onto the slab surface. Use a slow sweeping motion from left
right and back continously, and do not force the machine into the work, the engine or motor should not strain
when grinding.
• WHEN WET GRINDING: Water is required. Attach the water hose to the water hook-up valve. Use the valve to
control the flow of water.
• FOR DRY GRINDING: Provide a respirator and dust control system.
• FOR GASOLINE MODELS: Put the engine stop switch in the “RUN” position. Consult the engine manufac-
turers operating instructions and follow the directions for starting and breaking in the engine.
• TO STOP THE MACHINE: Stop forward motion, tilt machine to raise off of floor. On gasoline models push the throt-
tle to idle. Turn ignition or power switch off and let the engine come to a complete stop. Turn off the water supply.
• WHEN MANEUVERING THE GRINDER: Tilt grinder back enough so it does not strike the slab surface. Damage to
accessories may occur with inadvertent contact with the slab.
• DO NOT FORCE GRINDER WHILE GRINDING.
• IF THE POWER SOURCE FAILS: Raise the grinder off of the floor. Disconnect the power source (i.e. the
spark plug wire on a gasoline engine). Inspect the accessories for damage. Replace damaged (or questionable)
accessories immediately.
• WHEN TRANSPORTING THE GRINDER: Disconnect the power source before lifting or removing any guards.
Remove accessories when transporting.
• WHEN HOISTING OR LIFTING A GRINDER : Always inspect frame and attaching hardware for damage
before lifting. Use proper safe hoisting and lifting techniques and hardware.
PROCEDURE FOR LUBRICATING FLANGE BEARINGS
To grease the flange bearings attach the grease gun to the grease fittings through the access holes circled in photo above
left and give only two (2) pumps on the grease gun every 50 hours of use. If excessive over lubrication is done grease will
leak onto the work surface causing possible damage and wasted cleanup time. Inspection hole on gear case is located
towards rear center of machine on top of gear case.
