3.7.4 Installation Troubleshooting
Upon inial installaon, the most likely reason for non-funconing controls is wires that have
become loose during transport. Check to ensure all wires inside the electrical cabinet are properly
connected.
WARNING! Electrical Shock Hazard: Be sure to power o machine before making any electrical
modicaons. Failure to do so could result in death and/or serious injury.
1. Power o the mill according to the Power O/On Procedure detailed earlier in this chapter.
2. Using two ngers, rmly tug each wire connecon near its terminaon point. Any loose wires
should be re-seated and re-ghtened.
