Once the machine is installed correctly make sure the reel spins freely. With the power disconnected remove
the reel v-belt guard and rotate the belt by hand to make sure it spins freely. Reinstall the belt guard with the
two screws.
Connect the vacuum hose(s) up to the machine discharge outlet and the vacuum side. Fewer corners in the
vacuum hose will increase overall suction.
Connect the machine cord to the correct circuit. Plug the vacuum on a separate circuit.
Note:
We have equipped this machine with a 220V 3hp vacuum for the best performance and lowest amperage. You
may need to consult a qualified electrician for making a 220V connection. Make sure hands and other objects
are clear of the machine before beginning startup.
