SECTION 3 INSTALLATION AND CHECKOUT

3.1 INTRODUCTION

SECTION 3 describes the installation, checkout, and start-up procedure of the 30004T grinder.

Review all safety instructions before installing the grinder.

No special equipment, tools, or test equipment is required for grinder installation (or maintenance).

Make sure any lifting and handling devices are rated for a load capacity greater than the weight of the grinder. Refer to TABLE 1-3 for standard grinder weights (other factors, such as type of motor will impact the overall weight of the motor).

3.2 UNPACKING AND STORAGE

The grinder is carefully packaged for shipment to the installation site. Do not remove any components from the shipping crate/carton until an inventory is taken.

1. Inspect the shipping container. Report all shipping container damage immediately to the carrier and send a copy to the company representative.

2. Inspect the grinder for missing, loose, or damaged components. The grinder is shipped completely assembled and ready to install.

Contact JWCE or local representative if parts are loose, missing, or damaged.

3. Inspect the grinder options included with the equipment as defined in the customer order. If parts are missing, loose, or damaged, contact

JWCE.

4. Close and seal all shipping containers after inspection for shortages and damage. Store in the shipping containers until time of installation indoors in an environment between 40° F (5° C) and 105° F (40° C). Try not to re-open the storage container until installation. If it is necessary to store the equipment outdoors, make sure the crates are covered to protect from moisture.

The motor and speed reducer have been lubricated at the factory. Extended storage may cause grease to separate. A small amount of light lubricant may leak from greased areas. Unless leakage is excessive - more than one (1) tablespoon - it does not cause any problems. The grease homogenizes to its original consistency when the gears are run.

If possible, rotate the drive assembly at least 15 revolutions every 3 months, minimum, to redistribute bearing lubricant. A rust preventive coating to the cutter stack is factory-applied but should also be liberally reapplied after every 6 months of storage.

3.3 INSTALLATION

Perform the following procedure to install the grinder in line with the existing piping FIGURE 3-1 and FIGURE 3-2 show the 30004T installation configurations and suggested clearance. A minimum amount of civil work is required during installation. A minimum of five pipe diameters should be allowed between the grinder discharge and the pump suction if the grinder is installed upstream of a pump. Standard tools, a multimeter and lifting equipment with the proper load rating are required. All drive components are factory greased and ready for operation. For hydraulic powered grinders refer to the Hydraulic Power Pack manual.

Read and understand the associated motor controller manual before operating the grinder.
