INSTALLATION

UNPACKING

Remove the carton from around the machine. Remove the four bolts holding the machine to the skid.
Unpack the chopper cylinder assembly.

Immediately after unpacking the chopper, check for possible shipping damage. If this machine is found
to be damaged after unpacking, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of
delivery.

Prior to installation, test the electrical service to make sure that it agrees with the specifi cations on the
machine data plate.

The four leg assemblies (Fig. 1) are removed and packed in a separate carton for shipment. Unpack and
assemble these legs by screwing them into the four tapped holes of the frame. The rubber feet on these
legs cushion the machine. Under normal operation, the machine need not be bolted down.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

The electrical cord on this machine is equipped with a grounding- type plug which
must be connected to a properly grounded receptacle. If the receptacle is not the proper grounding
type, contact an electrician. Do not remove the grounding prong from the plug.
