Test Run

Once assembly is complete, test run the machine
to ensure it is properly connected to power and
safety components are functioning correctly.
If you find an unusual problem during the test run,
immediately stop the machine, disconnect it from
power, and fix the problem BEFORE operating the
machine again. The Troubleshooting table in the
SERVICE section of this manual can help.
The Test Run verifies safety features stop machine
when needed, and that machine operates prop-
erly prior to regular operation.
Serious injury or death can result from
using this machine BEFORE understanding
its controls and related safety information.
DO NOT operate, or allow others to operate,
machine until the information is understood.
DO NOT start machine until all preceding
setup instructions have been performed.
Operating an improperly set up machine
may result in malfunction or unexpect-
ed results that can lead to serious injury,
death, or machine/property damage.

Tightening Drive Belt

The final step in the setup process must be done
after approximately 16 hours of operation. During
this first 16 hours, the belt will stretch and seat
into the pulley grooves. After this time, you must
re-tension the belt to avoid slippage and burn-out.
Refer to Page 38 when you are ready to perform
this important adjustment.
It's normal for the pulleys and belt to get hot. Allow
them to cool before making adjustments.
Note: A small amount of black belt dust at the bot-
tom of the belt housing is normal during the life of
the machine and does not indicate a problem with
the machine or belt.
