Multiquip 8FP Series manual Assembly INSTRUCTIONS/OPERATIONS

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS/OPERATIONS

To minimize the voltage drop to the motor, all extension cords should be copper stranded, 8 AWG or larger. A NEMA 6-20R twist lock type receptacle is provided with the 8FP/E Series Floor Planer as a standard accessory. The twist lock feature allows the extension cord to be pulled by the Floor Planer without becoming detached. Wire the NEMA 6-20R receptacle to the appropriate extension cord that will be coupled to the NEMA 6-20P plug provided on the Floor Planer. FIGURE 25.

DANGER

PROPERLY INSPECT ALL EXTENSION CORDS AND WIRING DEVICES FOR STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY. DO NOT UTILIZE A CORD WITH A WORN OR CUT OUTER JACKET MATERIAL. DO NOT UTILIZE A CORD WITH EXPOSED INNER WIRES OR INSULATION MATERIAL. DO NOT UTILIZE A CORD THAT HAS BEEN REPAIRED WITH ELECTRICAL TAPE. USE OF AN EXTENSION CORD OF IMPROPER STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.

DANGER

ALL ELECTRICAL WIRING MUST BE INSTALLED AND/OR APPROVED IN ACCORDANCE TO LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES AND PRACTICES. AN IMPROPER WIRING INSTALLATION CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.

6)Determine that the power outlet to be utilized is properly grounded. This can be accomplished with proper testing equipment and procedures. If there are

any questions regarding the suitability of a specific power outlet, contact the Customer Service Department for assistance BEFORE utilizing the Floor Planer. There is no charge for this service. A qualified electrician can also be consulted. If a 115 VAC power source is selected, it is recommended that a properly tested, externally mounted, ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) be utilized at all times as an additional precaution. Ground fault circuit interrupters are not available for operation on 230 VAC. FIGURE 26.

DANGER

FOR MAXIMUM PROTECTION AGAINST A FAULT, ALWAYS CONFIGURE THE GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER TO BE PLUGGED INTO THE EXTENSION CORD. A CONFIGURATION WITH THE GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER PLACED BETWEEN THE POWER SOURCE AND THE EXTENSION CORD WILL NOT AFFORD MAXIMUM PROTECTION AGAINST A POTENTIAL FAULT.

7)Couple the NEMA 6-20R receptacle and the NEMA 6-20P plug together.

8)Grasp the operator handle with firm gripping. Turn the ON/OFF switch to the ON position.

When operating on 115 VAC, the electric motor will require additional starting time to help compensate for the additional starting amperage requirement. This time is usually within two seconds of activating the ON/OFF switch.

9)The 8FP/E Series electrically powered Floor Planer is not equipped with a centrifugal clutch assembly. The electric motor is directly coupled to the driveshaft by a V-belt reduction.
