Machine Description
This blast cabinet is designed for high-use media blasting operations, where air flow up to 16 CFM and air pressure up to 120 PSI can be used. Air pressure is fully adjustable with an air pressure regulator, and the media output can be adjusted with the media flow valve. Blasting operations through a hand-held blast gun are controlled by a foot valve, and most operations can be carried out with all types of blasting media.
An internal set of fluorescent work lamps provide illumination during blasting operations, and a built-in dust collector maintains blasting environ­ment visibility. The cabinet is equipped with front and side loading doors for ease of workpiece loading and unloading. Media is quickly unloaded through the hopper dump port door, and reloaded through one of the doors.

Site Considerations
Weight Load
Physical Environment
Place this machine near an existing power source.
Shadows, glare, or strobe effects that may distract
Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight of your machine. Make sure that the surface upon which the machine is placed will bear the weight of the machine, additional equipment that may be installed on the machine, and the heaviest work­piece that will be used. Additionally, consider the weight of the operator and any dynamic loading that may occur when operating the machine.
Space Allocation
Consider the largest size of workpiece that will be processed through this machine and provide enough space around the machine for adequate operator material handling or the installation of auxiliary equipment. With permanent installations, leave enough space around the machine to open or remove doors/covers as required by the main­tenance and service described in this manual.
See below for required space allocation.
Children or untrained people may be seriously injured by this machine. Only install in an access restricted location.
The physical environment where the machine is operated is important for safe operation and lon­gevity of machine components. For best results, operate this machine in a dry environment that is free from excessive moisture, hazardous chemi­cals, airborne abrasives, or extreme conditions. Extreme conditions for this type of machinery are generally those where the ambient temperature range exceeds 41°–104°F; the relative humidity range exceeds 20–95% (non-condensing); or the environment is subject to vibration, shocks, or bumps.
Electrical Installation
Make sure all power cords are protected from traffic, material handling, moisture, chemicals, or other hazards. Make sure to leave access to a means of disconnecting the power source or engaging a lockout/tagout device, if required.
Lighting
Lighting around the machine must be adequate enough that operations can be performed safely.
or impede the operator must be eliminated.

Mounting to Shop
Floor
Although not required, we recommend that you mount your new machine to the floor. Because this is an optional step and floor materials may vary, floor mounting hardware is not included. Generally, you can either bolt your machine to the floor or mount it on machine mounts. Both options are described below. Whichever option you choose, it is necessary to level your machine with a precision level.
Bolting to Concrete Floors
Lag shield anchors with lag bolts (Figure 4) and anchor studs are two popular methods for anchor­ing an object to a concrete floor. We suggest you research the many options and methods for mounting your machine and choose the best that fits your specific application.
Using Machine Mounts
Using machine mounts, shown in Figure 5, gives the advantage of fast leveling and vibration reduc­tion. The large size of the foot pads distributes the weight of the machine to reduce strain on the floor.
Figure 5. Machine mount example.
Figure 4. Typical fasteners for mounting to
concrete floors.
NOTICE
Anchor studs are stronger and more per­manent alternatives to lag shield anchors; however, they will stick out of the floor, which may cause a tripping hazard if you decide to move your machine.
NOTICE
We strongly recommend securing your machine to the floor if it is hardwired to the power source. Consult with your electrician to ensure compliance with local codes.

Air Supply Setup
The ability of this blast cabinet to accomplish its task is directly related to how well the air supply system is designed. For this blast cabinet to oper­ate at its maximum potential with the largest blast tip, the CFM feeding the regulator should be 16 CFM at 120 PSI.
Refer to your compressor Owner’s Manual and make sure that the compressor can handle the load of a blasting cabinet. Often a 5 HP compres­sors are used, but the duration of the work shift and tip size installed must be reduced so the compressor duty cycle is not exceeded. Ignoring this requirement could lead to compressor over­heating and failure. The rule of thumb is that, the smaller the compressor, the less CFM available, and greater cool-down time required.
If this blast cabinet is to be used at full capacity in eight-hour work shifts at the maximum air pres­sure of 120 PSI using the largest tip, an industrial­grade compressor capable of delivering up to 16 CFM may be required.
For smaller compressors, make sure to increase the compressor maintenance interval and verify that your compressor has the best cooling airflow possible.
Remove any in-line oilers, make the supply line long enough to allow the compressed air to fully cool before it reaches the gun, and install an in-line water separator or air dryer. Tilt air sup­ply lines slightly back toward the compressor so residual condensation in the lines will run back to the tank instead of the media blasting unit. For a general summary of the typical air system of this blast cabinet and supply system, refer to the Air System Diagram on Page 39.
If using an existing air system, eliminate air supply restrictions and pressure drops that may occur at small quick-disconnect fittings, elbows, small sup­ply piping, undersized water separators, kinked lines, or rust-filled piping.
Typically, when installing a new supply line for the blast cabinet with a 125 foot run or less, the air supply line up to the regulator inlet should have an inside diameter of supply line with a 1" inside diameter is recom­mended.
If an air compressor is not available or the blast cabinet is to be used at a remote location, NEVER connect this blast cabinet to pressurized bottled gasses such as oxygen bottles used in welding operations. Line ruptures or explosions can occur, causing equipment damage, serious injury, or death.

When filling or servicing the blast cabinet, there is a risk of subjecting the compressor to airborne media or dust. Be sure to locate the blast cabinet away from the compressor operating environment. If even small amounts of fine media dust enter the compressor through the intake or during general service, rings, pistons, valves, and bearings can be quickly destroyed.
Make sure to install an air supply quick-discon­nect fitting or a shut-off valve that can be locked out to prevent the air pressure from accidentally being turned on. These items allow for the blast cabinet to be serviced safely or allow it to sit idle when not in use.

Test Run
Wait 24 hours for the silicone sealant to fully
23.
setup and dry. Otherwise, when the machine is turned on and media blasting begins, the seal may be broken, causing leakage.
Inspect all seals, hose clamps, glove clamps,
24.
and window seals for any potential leaks. Correct as required.
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 dust collector powers up and runs correctly, 2) the ON/OFF but­ton works correctly, 3) the air system, controls, and the lamp work correctly, 4) and that there are no air leaks.
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 30.

SECTION 4: OPERATIONS
Media blasting presents a real hazard of silicosis and other lung contamination injuries! These injuries are permanent and can get worse over time. If you use media blasting equipment without the proper eye protection and respirator, your lungs and eyes may become irreversibly contaminated. DO NOT use this blast cabinet unless you know how to use it, protect yourself correctly, and keep all unprotected bystanders away. For the latest types of protective equipment and acceptable respirator types, contact your local OSHA or NIOSH office.
Preparation
To reduce the risk of seri­ous injury when using this machine, read and under­stand this entire manu­al before beginning any operations.
Damage to your eyes and lungs could result from using this machine without proper pro­tective gear. Always wear safety goggles and a respirator when operating this machine.
NEVER sand blast with the doors open, point the gun at yourself or anyone else, or attempt to service any part of this machine while it is plugged in or connected to air pressure. ALWAYS disconnect the blast cabinet from power and air pressure when not in use, or during maintenance or adjust­ments. Ignoring this warning may lead to severe injury.
NOTICE
If you have never used this type of equip­ment before, WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you read books, trade magazines, or get formal training before beginning any projects. Regardless of the content in this section, Grizzly Industrial will not be held liable for accidents caused by lack of train­ing.
To prepare for a typical media blasting opera­tion:
Conduct the daily-check of the cabinet.
1.
2. Select and install the required blast tip, load
the media, and empty dust collector canister.
Empty the air supply water separators, connect
3.
power and air to the cabinet, and adjust the regulator to the required air pressure.
Remove water, oil, grease, and loose paint
4.
or scale from the workpiece, then place the workpiece into blast cabinet.
Put on your safety goggles and a respirator,
5.
and begin the media blasting operation.

Basic Operation
This section details the correct order of operations for using the Model G0708.
To use the blast cabinet:
Conduct the daily check listed in Maintenance
1.
on Page 29.
Prepare the workpiece as discussed in Pre-
2. Use Overview on Page 20.
PUT ON safety goggles and a respirator.
3.
Select and load the blasting media through
4.
one of the doors. Never load media that
contains free silica, as this is a leading cause of silicosis. Refer to Page 25 for media
types.
Note: Loading just enough media for the job at
hand will help you prevent over-using or having to screen excess media. Typically use enough media to cover the metering valve opening by 6" Keep the metering valve adjusted properly for the type of media blasting being done and the media being used.
Install the correct tip into the blast gun, in the
5.
order shown (Figure 19). For lower air use the 6mm tip is used most often. Refer to Page 25 for air pressure and media options.
Blast Tip
Figure 19. Blast tip installation.
Note: It is very important to maintain
concentricity of the tip orifice as it wears. To do this you must rotate the media blasting tip
1
4-turn every 10 to 12 hours of use. Worn tips make an inconsistent media spray pattern. As a result, surfaces can be left with streaking or spots of tear-out. Replace any tip that has

worn size.
16" in diameter larger than its original
Note: If the metering valve screw (Figure 18)
is turned clockwise and restricts the vents too much, the gun will pulsate and a low-velocity rich-media spray will result. If the metering valve screw is turned counterclockwise too far, opening the vents too much, the gun will be noisy and a lean media spray will result. Under both conditions, low productivity is the ultimate outcome. Trial-and-error is the best way to sort out your adjustments for the type of media and blasting to be done.

Empty the applicable water separators and
connect the media blasting cabinet to power and to the air supply.
Turn the regulator knob to adjust the air
8. pressure to the desired setting (Figure 21).
Typically this is a trial-and-error process, but a good range to start at is between 60 and 80 PSI.
Inspect the windows (Figure 23) for clarity and
10.
for any evidence of damage to the protective film. Peel off worn or damaged film and affix new sheets as required. Replace the sheets
BEFORE they are worn through. If using an aggressive media, you may have to double the sheets to protect from wear-through before your blasting project is finished. NEVER WIPE WINDOWS WITH WET OR DRY RAGS! Doing so will scratch the viewing surface. Instead, vacuum media away and then gently brush the remnants off the glass with a soft paint brush. If visibility becomes a problem, refer to Troubleshooting on Page
30 for further solutions.

13. Slowly press on the foot pedal (Figure 25) and move the blast tip in a slow circular motion. Abrasive media will begin spraying from the blast gun tip.
Note: If the gun or metering valve begins to
clog or becomes completely clogged during use, cover the hole in the blast tip tightly, and pull the gun trigger. Air pressure will be then diverted back through the media suction piping and usually blow out the clog.
If clogging still persists, it is likely that the
moisture or contamination ratio in the media is too high, or there could be a loose fitting or leak in a hose. Dry out the media, install a moisture trap, screen or replace the media, or check for leaking hose.
Only use high quality DRY media. DO NOT
use regular sand, and recognize when media has broken down and is too fine or loaded up with contaminants to work properly. Worn-out media and contaminants will cause caking and clogging.
Figure 25. Blast gun ON/OFF control.
Note: For most media blasting operations,
maintain a blast distance of six inches. Maintain a blasting spray at a 45°-60° degree angle from the workpiece so the media will ricochet off and not directly impact the lamp or viewing window. Doing this will help maintain workpiece visibility and make the protective viewing window film and media last longer. Do not point the gun at the workpiece where the tip is perpendicular or 90°degrees from the surface.
Note: When media blasting thin materials
made of aluminum, copper, brass, wood, or other delicate parts, select the correct media and begin blasting at a low pressure, such as 45 PSI. Next, slowly increase the air pressure until you achieve the finish required. When using some types of glass bead media, you may have to keep the operating pressure between 50-80 PSI, or the media will break down prematurely. Some media like silicon carbide and aluminium oxide can withstand pressures of up to 120 PSI on this machine; however, most media blasting operations should occur at 80 PSI.
If clogging persists, refer to Troubleshooting
on Page 30 for further solutions.
Every 20-30 minutes during cabinet use, push
14.
the canister plunger in until it stops, then let your thumb slide off of the button so the spring slaps the plunger back against the canister wall. This causes vibration that knocks off the material which is caked onto the outside of the filter (Figure 26). Every five hours of cabinet use, service the dust collector filter. Refer to
Maintenance on Page 29 for procedures.

Blasting Media
Media Cost vs. Productivity
Often it is assumed that by using low-cost media, such as basic builder's sand or play sand, the worker can enjoy increased productivity costs because sand is so cheap. However, since sand is a "Dull Media," the blasting tip size must be increased and higher air pressure and more CFM are required to increase the blast velocity to over­come the dull media problem. This compensation usually results in longer compressor duty cycles that can overheat some units.
Compressor maintenance cycles, power con­sumption, and water separator service intervals may increase. Additionally, general sand can cause increased down-time from clogging tips, hoses, and valves, and generally create a hazard­ous, silica-laden environment.
With the correct research, excellent productivity can be achieved using sharp media with a smaller tip and less air pressure than with dull media at a higher pressure.
Maximizing Media Life
Screen the used media with a series of wire mesh screens to refine it to one consistent size. When using the blasting cabinet, experiment with using the least amount of media as possible. The result of using less media is that you will have less mate­rial to screen or discard and more fresh media for mixed projects. Store media in a dry place.

G6535: 15 lbs. Aluminum Oxide 220 Grit. G6536: 15 lbs. Aluminum Oxide 120 Grit. G6537: 15 lbs. Aluminum Oxide 60 Grit. G6538: 15 lbs. Glass Bead 50-Micron Grit.
Some of the common blasting media types are listed below with the MOH scale hardness value. All media have benefits and drawbacks, such as
the quality of surface finish, media life, toxicity, and the precautions that must be taken to prevent environmental damage or personal injury to your
respiratory system. However, all media presents a health risk. Never use media that contains free
silica.
Aluminum Oxide (8.5-9)
For surface finishing, aluminum oxide is one of the most common and widely used media. Having an angular shape, it is considered an extremely sharp, has extended blasting times, and is highly recyclable.
Silicon Carbide (9-9.5)
This blast media is considered to be the hardest available. The crystal structure is sharp, cutting is fast and aggressive. This media is often use to engrave and etch glass and stone. Shorter blast­ing periods also result from this hard and sharp media. Silicon carbide has no free silica and it can
be recycled many times.
Sand Type Media (6-7)
This media is easy to find and gives an average finish that is acceptable for many projects. Sand has a good recycling life and is economical. However, the cutting ability at lower air pressure and CFM can be poor—with a higher hazard of silicosis and machine clogging. Many sand-type media contain free silica and present a health hazard for silicosis.
Model G0708 (Mfd. Since 1/15)

Page 28
Steel Type Media
This aggressive media creates a rough finish that accepts paint well. The media is very durable and
has a long life; however, it MUST be kept very dry to prevent rusting. The main types are as follows:
—Steel Grit (8-9): Compared to aluminum
oxide, steel grit is softer and has a low habit of fracture, which leaves an excellent etched surface on rubber coatings, paints, and other coatings. This is a popular choice for aircraft applications. Steel grit comes in many grit sizes and hardness.
—Steel Shot (6-7.5): Steel shot is one of
the most widely used media for stripping, cleaning, and general improvements of metal surfaces. This media has a rounded­ball shape and comes in many grades, sizes, and hardness. In most instances, this type of media gives the surface a shiny or polished look. Steel shot peening also serves as a method to strengthen machin­ery parts such as impeller fins, bearing parts, springs, and torsional components. This media does not create high amounts of dust and has a superior recycle rate.
—Crushed Glass (5.5): This media is cre-
ated from recycled bottle glass, and other glass. The media described here has a sharp cutting behavior, as the particles are angular shaped. Often this media is used to remove epoxy coatings, glues, polyure­thanes, vinyls, elastomers, rubbers and tar. Surfaces have less imbedded particles with this media, and as a result, the finishes are usually very light and clean-looking.
—Garnet (6.5-7.5): This is a very effective
blast media typically used in shipyards and the oil and gas sector where steel pipes and fittings must be cleaned. This media is also used on brick, stone, and stainless steel. It is naturally occurring and very dense and hard. The recyclability is good, and it is a common choice for use in
cabinet-type blast cabinets.
Slag Media
Slag media are by-products of various types of smelting and coal burning processes. Be aware that some slag media may contain unwanted by­products from these processes.
Glass and Garnet Type Media
Glass media contains no free silica or heavy met­als and is non-toxic and inert. This media works well for soft metals and is a common choice when critical tolerances of machine parts must not be affected. The life of this media is limited and is not well-suited for repetitive screening and recycling.
—Glass Beads (5.5): Just as the name
indicates, this media is round in shape, chemically inert, and has no dangerous free silica. The glass beads come in vari­ous grit sizes and hardness. It is manufac­tured from lead-free, soda lime-type glass. Unlike angular abrasives that cut, these beads burnish and leave a bright finish that typically will have no dimensional change. The beads can be recycled many times. Common applications are honing wood, blending surfaces, polishing, peening, fin­ishing surfaces, removing scratches, and basic cleaning of most materials.
—Copper Slag (7-8): This media is consid-
ered an expendable media and is a very good alternative to sand media. Copper slag is a by-product from the copper manu­facturing process and it is very economical but non-reusable. Compared to the use of silica sand usage, it does not present a silicosis health hazard. Blasting operations best suited for this media are cleaning rust, mill scale, and paint from steel. Copper slag leaves a good surface that is ready to anchor and bond coatings and paints. The structure is blocky and sharp-edged.
—Coal Slag (6-7): This type of media is
made from liquid coal slag from utility boil­ers. The material is hardened and crushed into a fast-cutting media that is sharp and angular. This media creates little dust, but can release hazardous pollutants into the air. Various grit sizes can be used from light blasting operations to heavy-duty rust, paint, and mill scale removal. The resulting finish is a good surface ready to anchor
and bond coatings and paints.

Plastic Beads
Plastic abrasives are available in a variety of types such as urea, melamine, and acrylic com­positions. These beads are shaped just as indi­cated and give reliable and consistent stripping results. Paints, varnishes, rusts, and oxidation can be stripped from soft metals, plastics, and wood. The aerospace and automotive industry are chief consumers of this blast media.
—Urea (3-4): Considered to be an enviorn-
mentally-friendly choice, urea is the most commonly used plastic media. It is recy­clable and is an excellent choice for strip­ping tough coatings when speed is a high priority and the surface is not critical.
—Melamine (3-4): Also a long-lasting recy-
clable media, this abrasive is the most aggressive in the family of the plastic beads. Due to its hardness, it can strip hard-to-remove coatings and be the sub­stitute for some of the other types of glass beads.
—Acrylic (3-4): This is a multipurpose blast
media that is one of the longest lasting types available. It is often used for strip­ping sensitive surfaces or delicate parts that may consist of multiple types of com­pounds. It is available in a wide range of
grit sizes.
—Pumice (6-7): This media is the softest
media available and is a natural volcanic ash that is an inert mineral. Pumice can be used for the most sensitive blasting opera­tions where the painted or finished surface must be entirely unaffected by the removal of the foreign matter. The structure is block-shaped and is honeycombed.
—Ground Corn Cob (4.5): Is an organic,
soft blasting grit that has an angular shape. It has excellent surface cleaning behavior that is similar to ground walnut and peanut shells. Corn cob media is commonly used to strip bark off of wood, light coatings, and dirt without surface damage or grain blowout. It is available in a selection of grit sizes.
—Sodium Bicarbonate (2.4): Baking soda is
inert and has an excellent ability to remove and absorb the dirt or contaminants from a surface. It will not peen or cut the underly­ing workpiece. This important media can be used where small ports and bores must be cleaned without the hazard of clogging the passages. The workpiece and its pas­sages can be cleaned with water as this blast media is water soluble.
Soft Blast Media
There are many types of "Soft" blast media, many of which are minerals, inert, and organic. Some blast cabinets with dust collection systems require special filters or dust collectors for soft types of media. For the Model G0708, filter cleaning inter-
val will have to be increased to maintain flow.
—Ground Walnut: (4.5-5) This is a soft
media that is produced from crushed or ground walnut shells. The structure is multi-faceted and angular with no free silica in the media. Durability is excellent, and this media is a good choice for blast­ing operations where the paint, varnish, or coating must be cleaned but not marred or removed. Hardwoods, jewelry, and elec­trical items can also be cleaned with this media. Using a larger grit under higher pressure settings, paint and varnishes, and engine parts can be cleaned of coke and carbon deposits.

Always disconnect power and the air supply to the machine before perform­ing maintenance. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.
For safe and optimum performance from your machine, follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any specific instructions given in this sec­tion.
Daily Check:
Inspect all fittings and hoses for leaks.
Inspect for damaged or leaking door seals. Make sure water separators are drained.
Make sure the dust collector is empty and the
filter is clean.
Verify the media is correct for task.
Verify the air pressure is set correctly.
Inspect for worn or damaged power cord.
Look for any other unsafe condition.
Replace window protective film for holes
or excessive etching. Replace the sheets BEFORE they are worn through and the win­dow is damaged.
Rotate blast tip to compensate for wear.
Blow out dust collector filter every five hours.
Monthly Check:
Use soapy water on fittings and hoses while
looking for bubbles that indicate leaks.
Verify all fasteners and clamps are tight.
Inspect suction lines carefully for spots that
collapse or leak during operation.
Clean/vacuum dust buildup from inside cabi-
net and off motor.
Inspect work gloves for holes or wear.
Empty cabinet, wipe down inside and inspect
for leaks or damage.
Cover windows and repaint bare metal por-
tions of cabinet.
Remove filter and clean/replace as required.
Cleaning
Wear safety goggles and a respirator when cleaning the cabinet or the filter. Failure to comply can cause serious personal injury.
Wipe down the exterior of the cabinet with a light solution of mild dish soap and water, then dry with a clean towel. To avoid scratching windows, never wipe windows with wet or dry rags. Instead, vacuum media away and then gently brush the remnants off of the glass with a soft paint brush.
The blast cabinet is equipped with 6 3⁄4" diameter x 12" long pleated filter that is designed to filter media and contaminants from air that re-enters the shop. During operation, basic de-caking is done manually every 20 to 30 minutes with the canister plunger. Empty the canister (Figure 30) at least every five hours of use. Typically this media is discarded as it has a high ratio of fine dust contaminants. For major cleaning, unlatch the top of the dust collector and remove the filter element. Inspect all sealing foam and replace as required. Clean the filter canister pleats by carefully blowing it from the inside out with com­pressed air. If usability of the filter is in question, or any holes or tears exist, replace it.

Filter Replacement
Wear safety goggles and a respirator when cleaning the cabinet or the filter. Failure to comply can cause serious personal injury.
Replace the filter when it no longer cleans the air– even after being cleaned with compressed air.
To replace the filter:
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
1.
2. Unlatch (Figure 31) the dust collector and
lift the entire motor and filter unit out of the canister and place it on a workbench upside down.

4. While pulling the fan cover upwards, use a
standard screwdriver to slightly pry out the cover lock tangs (Figure 33) and remove the cover from the motor.
During the life of your media blasting cabinet, you may find it necessary to replace the dust collector motor brushes. If the motor operates loudly, or the dust collector still has low suction after a new filter has been installed, the motor brushes likely have reached the end of their usable life and need to be replaced.

—If the brushes have worn deep grooves in
the commutator, we recommend replacing the motor. Typically the labor involved with re-turning the commutator on a lathe and then undercutting the insulator segments far exceeds the price of a new motor.
—If the commutator only has minor wear and
black-colored carbon tracking (Figure 37), use a fine crocus cloth to polish the com­mutator where the brushes ride. DO NOT use emery cloth or sandpaper to clean the commutator or you will make it out-of­round, which will cause the new brushes to arc, overheat, and wear out quickly.
Finish the cleaning process by using acetone
and a cotton rag to wipe off any oils or con­taminants from the commutator.
7. Slide the brush assembly apart, clean the housings and brass sleeves with mineral spir­its, and allow the parts to dry (Figure 36).

sure to route the brush power wires well away from the commutator, as shown in Figure 40, or the commutator will wear into the wire, causing an electrical short.

SECTION 8: WIRING
These pages are current at the time of printing. However, in the spirit of improvement, we may make chang­es to the electrical systems of future machines. Study this section carefully. If there are differences between your machine and what is shown in this section, call Technical Support at (570) 546-9663 for assistance BEFORE making any changes to the wiring on your machine.
Wiring Safety Instructions
SHOCK HAZARD. Working on wiring that is con­nected to a power source is extremely dangerous. Touching electrified parts will result in personal injury including but not limited to severe burns, electrocution, or death. Disconnect the power from the machine before servicing electrical com­ponents!
MODIFICATIONS. Modifying the wiring beyond what is shown in the diagram may lead to unpre­dictable results, including serious injury or fire. This includes the installation of unapproved after­market parts.
WIRE CONNECTIONS. All connections must be tight to prevent wires from loosening during machine operation. Double-check all wires dis­connected or connected during any wiring task to ensure tight connections.
CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS. You MUST follow the requirements at the beginning of this man­ual when connecting your machine to a power source.
WIRE/COMPONENT DAMAGE. Damaged wires or components increase the risk of serious per­sonal injury, fire, or machine damage. If you notice that any wires or components are damaged while performing a wiring task, replace those wires or components.
MOTOR WIRING. The motor wiring shown in these diagrams is current at the time of printing but may not match your machine. If you find this to be the case, use the wiring diagram inside the motor junction box.
CAPACITORS/INVERTERS. Some capacitors and power inverters store an electrical charge for up to 10 minutes after being disconnected from the power source. To reduce the risk of being shocked, wait at least this long before working on capacitors.
EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If you are expe­riencing difficulties understanding the information included in this section, contact our Technical Support at (570) 546-9663.
The photos and diagrams included in this section are best viewed in color. You can view these pages in color at www.grizzly.com.
