B. Electric and Plug in Instructions
1. General Instructions
a. Always operate your machines with ground faults wired at the electrical source.
b. Low voltage is a common occurrence on many terrazzo jobs, and hence it is necessary
that the terrazzo contractor know his incoming voltage and amperage at the machine.
We also recommend a good, reasonably priced voltammeter instrument for each con
tractor and that he as well as his foreman know how to operate same.
c. As a result of the low voltage and the use of a 230 Volt motor, Terrco
booster box with pre-wired plugs already connected to your machine.
d. If the machine is to operate on an area more then 100 feet from the electrical source it
will be necessary to use the next lower number (larger) size cable from the source to the
100 foot wire cable that was furnished with the machine.
e. If additional cable is necessary, be sure all connections are of the proper size and that
they are tight
f. As a final step before starting the machine, we strongly recommend that a voltage
reading is taken; this requires a very few minutes time and could save a great deal of
trouble.
