INSTRUCTION BOOK 

 

(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

 the factory at U.S. 256-883-8988.

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. 
 
 

(4) MOTOR AND CONTROL.  

The electric motor is a DC permanent magnet motor operating on rectified 110 or 220 Volt AC current. The drive 
uses twin belts of 4mm. diameter polyurethane. No belt tension adjustment is necessary. 
The Electronic Control is a KBVC Control or equivalent. It incorporates an Off-On switch and a speed control 
operated by the one knob. The speed range is 20:1 with a maximum no-load speed of approximately 1200 rpm. 
 

(5) CONTROL BOX.   (FIG. 2)          

On the Control Box front panel are a Forward and Reverse Switch with a central off position. 
A Speed Control Knob incorporating an Off-On Switch. 
A Digital Read-out displaying the Facet Angle Setting.
