Machine Mounts

Machine mounts are rubber pads mounted to a threaded stud, which can be fastened to the bottom of the machine.

Machine mounts offer certain advantages such as ease of installation, vibration dampening, and easy leveling. They also make it easier to relocate the machine later on.

The disadvantage of machine mounts is that the machine can shift or move over time. For this reason, electrical codes may limit their use if the machine is hardwired to the power source. Also, mounts may reduce the total surface area of machine-to-floor contact, depending on the design of the machine.

Assembly

This machine comes pre-assembled from the factory. However, tension has been removed from the blade for shipping purposes. Before operating the machine for the first time, you MUST make sure the blade is properly tensioned. Refer to the Blade Tensioning procedure on Page 27 for instructions about how to do this.

Initial Lubrication

Your machine was lubricated at the factory, but we strongly recommend that you inspect all lubrication points yourself and provide additional lubrication if necessary. Refer to Lubrication on Page 38 for specific details.
