Test Run

Once the assembly is complete, test run your machine to make sure it runs properly and is ready for regular opera- tion.

The test run consists of verifying the following: 1) The motor powers up and runs correctly, and 2) the switch disabling mechanism works correctly.

If, during the test run, you cannot easily locate the source of an unusual noise or vibration, stop using the machine immediately, then review Troubleshooting on Page 30.

If you still cannot remedy a problem, contact our Tech Support at (360) 734-3482 for assistance.
