Test Run - Grizzly G3102 Owner's Manual

Test Run

Once the assembly is complete, test run your
machine to make sure it runs properly and is
ready for regular operation. The test run consists
of verifying the following: 1) The motor powers up
and runs correctly, 2) the spindle direction switch
operates correctly, and 3) the V-belt cover safety
switch works properly.
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 37.
If you cannot find a remedy, contact our Tech
Support at (570) 546-9663 for assistance.
To test run the machine:
1. Make sure you understand the safety instruc-
tions at the beginning of the manual and that
the machine is set up properly.
2.
Make sure all tools and objects used during
setup are cleared away from the machine.
3. Connect the machine to the power source.
4.
Verify that the machine is operating correctly
by lifting the power ON/OFF switch cap and
pushing the ON button.
— When operating correctly, the machine
runs smoothly with little or no vibration or
rubbing noises.
— Investigate and correct strange or unusual
noises or vibrations before operating the
machine further. Always turn the machine
OFF and disconnect it from power before
investigating or correcting potential prob-
lems.

own.
10. Keeping your hands away from the V-belts
and pulleys, verify the V-belt cover safety
switch is operating correctly by attempting to
turn the machine ON.
— If the machine DOES NOT start, the V-belt
cover safety switch is working correctly.
The Test Run procedure is complete.
— If the machine DOES start with the V-belt
cover lifted, immediately turn the machine
OFF and disconnect it from power. The
V-belt cover safety switch is not working
correctly. This safety feature must work
properly before proceeding with regular
operations. Call Tech Support for help.
After all of the Test Run procedures are success-
fully completed, proceed to Spindle Break-in on
