UNLOADING AND
POSITIONING MACHINE
This machine should be unloaded using a crane and slings around and under the table on both sides, as shown in Fig. 2. Lift the machine slowly, making sure it is well balanced, and lower it carefully.
Using rollers or a similar hauling device, push the machine to the desired working site. Once the machine is in position it should be leveled and positioned on hard rubber pads placed underneath the four corners.
Remove protective coating from the table, bed rolls, feed rolls and cutterhead. This coating may be removed with a stiff brush and/or soft cloth moistened with kerosene (do not use acetone, gasoline or lacquer thin- ner for this purpose).

After cleaning table, cover table surface with a good quality paste wax.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Before connecting your machine to an electrical power system, make sure the motor rating agrees with the electrical system it is to be connected to. The 24" Planer is shipped wired for 230 volts, three phase operation.
If you desire to operate your planer at 460 volts, three phase operation, refer to the Electrical Instruction Manual supplied with your planer for detailed instruc- tions on Changing Voftage of LVC Motor Starters. Three STEPS must be followed when changing line voltage. These steps are as follows:
1.Change leads in the motor junction box for the prop- er line voltage, as shown on the motor nameplate. Refer to Fig. 3.
2.Move the transformer primary pigtail to the proper ter- minal corresponding to the new input voltage.
Fig. 3
3.Change the heater elements in the overload block for the proper voltage/amperage rating shown on the motor nameplate.
These three steps are clearly explained in the electrical instructions supplied with your planer.
