PreparationREPARATIONOverview

The purpose of the preparation section is to help you prepare your machine for operation. The list below outlines the basic process to follow to prepare your machine for operation. Specific steps for each of these points will be covered in detail later in this section.

The typical preparation process is as follows:

1.Unpack the machine and inventory the contents of the carton.

2.Clean the machine and its components.

3.Make any necessary adjustments or inspections to ensure the machine is ready for operation.

4.Connect the machine to the power source.

5.Test run the machine to make sure it functions properly and is ready for operation.

Things You'll Need

The items listed below are required to successfully set up and prepare this machine for operation.

For Machine Setup

Wrench 12mm

Wrench 14mm

For Power Connection

A power source that meets the minimum circuit requirements for this machine. (Refer to the Power Supply Requirements section for details.)

A qualified electrician to ensure a safe and code-compliant connection to the power source.

Power Supply

Requirements

Availability

Before installing the machine, consider the availability and proximity of the required power supply circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the requirements for this machine, a new circuit must be installed.

To minimize the risk of electrocution, fire, or equipment damage, installation work and electrical wiring must be done by a qualified electrician in accordance with all applicable codes and standards.

Electrocution or fire may occur if machine is not correctly grounded and attached to the power supply. Use a qualified electrician to ensure a safe power connection.

Full-Load Current Rating

The full-load current rating is the amperage a machine draws at 100% of the rated output power. On machines with multiple motors, this is the amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all motors and electrical devices that might operate at one time during normal operations.

Full-Load Rating at 110V

8.6 Amps

Full-Load Rating at 220V

4.3 Amps

The full-load current is not the maximum amount of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond the full-load rating.

If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result—especially if connected to an undersized circuit. To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid overloading the machine during operation and make sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that meets the requirements in the following section.
