Test Run - Grizzly G0898 Owner's Manual

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 consists of verifying the following:
1) The belt tracks properly and will not come off
the wheels during initial startup, 2) the motor
powers up and runs correctly, and 3) the switch
disabling key disables the switch properly.
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.
To test run the machine:
1.
Clear all setup tools away from machine.
2.
Tie back loose clothing and long hair to pro-
tect yourself from getting caught in the mov-
ing belt when you start the machine.
3.
Connect machine to power supply.
4.
Use power switch to start and immediately
stop grinder, while watching how belt tracks
on platen and contact wheel. Belt "tracking"
refers to belt positioning on wheels when belt
rotates. When tracking properly, belt remains
centered on wheels as it rotates.
Model G0898 (Mfd. Since 12/19)
— If belt tracks too far left or right, belt edge
will be destroyed. To prevent that from
happening, you must adjust belt tracking
before proceeding to next step. Refer to
Adjusting Belt Tracking on Page 21.
5. Start grinder and allow it to run while ensur-
ing belt tracks properly. Fine-tune tracking
with handle shown in Figure 21 as necessary
before proceeding to next step.
The motor should run smoothly and without
unusual problems or noises.

8. Try to start machine with paddle switch. The
machine should not start.
— If the machine does not start, the switch
disabling feature is working correctly.
— If machine does start, immediately stop
the machine. The switch disabling feature
is not working correctly. This safety fea-
ture must work properly before proceeding
with regular operations. Call Tech Support
for help.
