Grounding Instructions This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding Safety Warning Labels and Serial Number conductor and a grounding plug.
Moving the Machine Use the Transport Handle / Rear Step and Transport Wheels to move the machine. The Transport Handle / Rear Step is located in the middle of the Rail Assembly at the rear of the machine. Tilt the machine forward by lifting upward with the Transport Handle / Rear Step until the weight is on the Transport Wheels.
