Test Run - Grizzly G0453Z Owner's Manual

Test Run

Once the assembly is complete, test run your
machine to make sure it runs properly and is
ready for operation. The test run consists of veri-
fying the following: 1) The motor powers up and
runs correctly and 2) the stop button safety fea-
ture works correctly.
If, during the test run, you cannot easily locate
the source of an unusual noise or vibration, stop
using the machine immediately, then review
Troubleshooting on Page 31.
If you cannot find a remedy, contact our Tech
Support at (570) 546-9663 for assistance.
