This manual may not be complete in all aspects of product maintenance and repair. All products
should be used only by qualified and properly trained personnel, following proper safety
procedures. All products should be regularly inspected and maintained, and their condition, application
and use should be periodically evaluated by qualified personnel. Only qualified and properly trained
technicians should perform maintenance, repair and replacement procedures. Attempting these
procedures without proper training may cause machine damage or operator injury!
Products may be unsupported by The Challenge Machinery Company due to age or the unavailability of
parts from their original manufacturer. No parts or product support will be available to repair or maintain
unsupported products. Older products may not be UL listed (if the product does not have a UL label it is
not a listed product), and may not comply with applicable installation or other regulations or
requirements if relocated to a new facility. Many municipalities require a product to be UL listed before
an electrician will connect power to them. Often the cost of updating an older product to comply with
current safety regulations is greater than the value of the product.
