Machine Preparation - Rothenberger RO-GROOVER Instrucciones De Uso

Preparation of the machine and the working area
Select a working area where:
- there is sufficient light.
- there are no liquids, vapours or dust which could cause fire.
- there is an earth connection connected to ground.
- there is a direct path to the earth connection, free of
heat sources, oils, sharp or cutting edges or mobile parts
which could damage the cable.
- there is a dry place for the machine and operator.
- the ground is levelled.
Do not use the machine if positioned over water.
Clean the working area before installing any unit.
Clean any oil.
Position the machine on a flat and even surface.
Ensure that the grooving machine and the tube support are
stable.
Attach an expansion bolt in the ground below the machine
and, using an adjustable hook, attach the table to the
ground bolt.
Attach the tube support to the ground using three bolts.
Examine the upper roller and the lathe screw to ensure that
the size is correct.
Ensure that the machine shaft and the tube support are
perfectly aligned.
Preparation of the machine and the working area
The tube ends must be cut in a right angle. Do not
use a blowpipe to cut the tube. The tube must not
be insufficiently round.It is necessary to grind all the
welding seams, sealants and other interior or exterior
seams flush in the tube over a length of at least 55 mm
from the end.

MACHINE PREPARATION

Tube assembly
The tubes must be supported using a tube support.
The tube support must be positioned at 3⁄4 of the tube
length from the grooving machine.
Loosen the knobs of the spindle (A) by turning
anticlockwise.
Take the lath screw wheel (B), turn it and adjust the tube
to the knurling measurement.
Support the tube in the lathe screw and buffer against
the machine.
Adjust the height of the tube ensuring that it is
completely horizontal. If required use a spirit level. Once
adjusted, the tube locks the support by turning the
levers clockwise and fixes the position.
