(1) UNPACKING
Upon arrival, check the condition of the outside of the shipping container. If the shipping
container shows signs of intrusion or damage,
STOP
. Call the carrier and have them send an inspector to ascertain
inside damage. Call your local sales agent
and

SETTING UP THE MACHINE.
The machine should be set on a level working surface with ample room on the
left side and front. Being a three-legged machine, it will appear to be level, however water and slurry may not
properly flow out of the splash pan. A little care here can save pain later.
(3) ELECTRICS.
One of the features of the Patriot is the digital readout. The digital display and electronics are
contained in the control box, along with the motor speed controller.
STOP
.
We are proud of the display electronics and the controller; however the unit uses lethal voltage. If you are curious
and just have to look inside the control box,
PLEASE
disconnect the power cord
FIRST
. Inside you will find a motor
speed controller board a display readout board and a low voltage power supply.
Now that you have satisfied your curiosity, make sure the wires are in place and replace the back panel screws.
