6.4 Moving Instructions

Use a forklift or pallet jack to move the machine from the front. Do not attempt to lift from the sides or
rear.

6.5 Cleaning

Wipe down the table and bare metal surfaces with a non-flammable solvent such as CRC or blanket
wash. The table surface is cast iron, and it will rust if left unprotected. Coat the table with a non-
abrasive wax. A Cutter Care Kit, p/n 16077, with cleaner and wax, is available through your
Authorized Challenge Dealer. The protective film on the console may be removed. Never clean
console with petroleum based solvents. Damage will result.

6.6 Assembly

Unless otherwise specified, the only items that have been disassembled for shipping are the Reach-
Around shields on the electric eyes and extension tables. Extension table attachment follows.
NOTE: Extension tables are heavy. Use two people to attach them to the machine.
1. Assemble the back stops to the extension tables. The extension table bolts and hex nuts are
packed in the tool kit box. Tables are installed with the clearance hole for the knife gibs
towards the center of the cutter.
2. One person should hold the extension table in position while the other aligns the holes and
starts threading the mounting bolts with washers. The mounting bolts are shipped installed in
the side of table- remove them to install tables.
3. Use a 9/16" socket and extension to snug tighten the mounting bolts, then tap the extension
table up or down with your hand or a rubber mallet until it is flush with the main table. Run a
straight edge or sheet of paper over the seam to check the fit. Make sure your stock will not
catch on the seam.
4. Insert the leveling setscrews into the threaded holes next to the mounting bolts. You may
have to loosen the mounting bolts slightly to allow enough play to level the table. After the
extension tables are leveled and the surface joints even, tighten the mounting bolts securely.
5. The extension tables are powder-coated and need only be wiped down with a dry cloth. DO
NOT apply solvents or abrasive cleaners to extension table surfaces. They may cause
discoloration or scratches.
NOTE: The Reach-Around Shields for the electric eyes are in their shipping positions – follow the
instructions below to secure them in the operational position.
1. On the bottom of the electric eye housing – loosen the screw closet to the machine. Do not
remove the screw
2. On the bottom of the electric eye housing – loosen and remove the other two screws – rotate
the shield back out of the cut area. Line up the holes and re-install the screws – tighten all
screws (See the instruction sheet included in the shipping material for more details).
ATTENTION: FAILURE TO INSTALL THE REACH-AROUND SHIELDS COULD CAUSE A
POTENTIAL CRUSH/LACERATION HAZZARD – THE SHIELDS ARE THERE FOR YOUR SAFETY.
