SETTING UP YOUR SUPERMAX 7
but if used, should be 12-gauge wire for lengths up
to 10' and 10-gauge wire for longer lengths.
Note: The Intellisand™ Control (Fig. 6) pro-
tects both motors from most overload situations.
The conveyor motor for feeding stock is infinitely
variable from 0-15 ft/min. If the load on the drum
motor reaches its optimum, the SandSmart
Control will automatically slow the feed rate of the
conveyor. When the load is decreased on the main
motor, the feed rate will automatically increase but
never exceed the manual setting on the dial.
CONNECTING DUST COLLECTORS
Dust collection is necessary for all SUPERMAX
models. The SUPERMAX 25" models are equipped
with one 4"-diameter dust exhaust port at the top
of the drum cover. The SUPERMAX 37" models
have two 4" dust exhaust ports.
To attach the SUPERMAX to your collection sys-
tem, install 4
"
hose from your collector. (See Tips
For Maximum Performance, page 17 of this man-
ual.) The minimum recommended dust collector
capacities at the dust port(s) are: SUPERMAX 25
and SUPERMAX 25x2: 600 CFM; SUPERMAX 37 and
SUPERMAX 37x2: 1,200 CFM. For best results, fol-
low the recommendations of the manufacturer of
your dust collection equipment.
CHECKING MACHINE FOR LEVEL
Proper leveling of the machine is essential to
achieve continued maximum performance from
the SUPERMAX. Before making fine adjustments,
place the unit where it will be used in the shop.
Then adjust the four leveling feet using a carpen-
ter’s level both across the machine and in line with
the machine, placing the level on the conveyor
bed. If you have equipped your SUPERMAX with
the caster set, do the same after positioning the
machine where it will be operated most often.
Mark the position of the legs on the floor with
tape so it can be returned to the same position.
CHECKING DRUM ALIGNMENT
Your SUPERMAX was shipped from the factory
preadjusted with the drum(s) aligned to the con-
veyor table. Unless the machine was stressed dur-
ing shipment, only fine adjustment should be nec-
essary. Minor alignment corrections can be done
without relieving V-belt tension or adjusting the
tension rollers, but should be done without any
abrasive strips attached.
Fig. 6. Intellisand Controller.
Using a flat piece of wood or metal as a thickness
gauge, insert it between the conveyor table and the
primary (front) drum on the left (outboard) side
of the machine (see Fig. 26). Raise the table up so
the drum just contacts the thickness gauge. Then,
holding up the front tension roller, check at out-
board side (Fig. 7) of the drum to see that the
drum is parallel to the table. If it is not, disengage
