6 SUPERMAX OWNER’S MANUAL
SETTING UP YOUR SUPERMAX
Your SUPERMAX drum sander was adjusted and
aligned at the factory, and it has been carefully
packed for shipment. However, because of possible
stress during transit, the unit should be thoroughly
checked before being put to use. This section cov-
ers the pre-operational checks you should make
after unpacking and final assembly. Unnecessary
problems can be avoided if these essential checks
are performed before operating the sander.
Likewise, performing the recommended monthly
maintenance procedures listed at the end of this
section will help assure trouble-free service.
