UNLOADING AND
POSITIONING MACHINE
This machine should be unloaded using a crane and
slings around and under the table on both sides, as
shown in Fig. 2. Lift the machine slowly, making sure it
is well balanced, and lower it carefully.
Using rollers or a similar hauling device, push the
machine to the desired working site. Once the machine
is in position it should be leveled and positioned on hard
rubber pads placed underneath the four corners.
Remove protective coating from the table, bed rolls,
feed rolls and cutterhead. This coating may be removed
with a stiff brush and/or soft cloth moistened with
kerosene (do not use acetone, gasoline or lacquer thin-
ner for this purpose).
CARE MUST BE TAKEN WHEN CLEAN-
ING THE CUTTERHEAD AS THE KNIVES ARE IN THE
CUTTERHEAD AND THESE KNIVES ARE VERY SHARP.
After cleaning table, cover table surface with a good
quality paste wax.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Before connecting your machine to an electrical power
system, make sure the motor rating agrees with the
electrical system it is to be connected to. The 24" Planer
is shipped wired for 230 volts, three phase operation.
If you desire to operate your planer at 460 volts, three
phase operation, refer to the Electrical Instruction
Manual supplied with your planer for detailed instruc-
tions on Changing Voftage of LVC Motor Starters. Three
STEPS must be followed when changing line voltage.
These steps are as follows:
1. Change leads in the motor junction box for the prop-
er line voltage, as shown on the motor nameplate. Refer
to Fig. 3.
2. Move the transformer primary pigtail to the proper ter-
minal corresponding to the new input voltage.
3. Change the heater elements in the overload block for
the proper voltage/amperage rating shown on the motor
nameplate.
These three steps are clearly explained in the electrical
instructions supplied with your planer.
