Introduction / Safety / Installation
1-5 HP6A Manual
The hone carriage is shipped with the hold-down system locked. This system must be unlocked.
Remove the cover (514-3-3J). Remove the cotter pin in the castle nut. Loosen the nut all the way.
Tighten the nut back down with just your fingers. Loosen the nut 1/4 turn. Insert cotter pin.
Leveling
Eight cap screws and jam nuts are provided with the machine for leveling. Insert the screws from the
bottom of the base. Place the jam nuts on top of the threaded hole in the base.
Using a precision level, level the upper table within .002” per foot in both directions (Except favor the high
setting to the front for best coolant return).
Air Supply:
The HP6A machine requires 5.7 cubic feet/minute at 100 P.S.I. compressed air (a minimum 1 HP air
compressor output).
Attach air supply to the filter regulator on the right side of the splash tank. Push and hold the float clamp
button located on the front of the carriage. While holding the push button adjust the air regulator to 100
P.S.I. (located on the right side of the splash tank). (Push regulator knob down to set, pull up to lock).
Note: To assure a long service life for your HP6A machine the air supply must be moisture free. If
there is any doubts about the air supply install a water trap.
Coolant :
Refer to the Coolant section in Chapter 3 of this manual for proper coolant types and mixes.
