The  Challenge  Machinery  Company  provides  owner's  manuals  on  its 
products solely as a courtesy to its customers. See the information below 
before using this manual.  

These  manuals  are  for  reference  only.  These  manuals  include  products  which  are  noncurrent,

an accommodation to our customers. By providing these manuals, The Challenge Machinery Company 
makes no representation or warranty as to the products, their current condition, or their suitability or fitness 
for  use  in  any  particular  application,  which  are  the  sole  and  independent  responsibility  of  the  product 
owner and user.  

Older products may not comply with current safety procedures, guidelines or regulations, and it 
is  the  product  owner's  and  user's  responsibility  to  evaluate  the  suitability  and  fitness  of  the 
products  in  their  current  use  and  application.  The  Challenge  Machinery  Company  makes  no 
representation, warranty or recommendation regarding any modifications which may be required 
on non-current or unsupported products. The Challenge Machinery Company assumes no liability 
for  any  modification  or  alteration  to  any  Challenge  product,  and  any  such  modification  or 
alteration to any Challenge product is not authorized by The Challenge Machinery Company.

 The 

availability of these manuals is solely for the purpose of providing reference information for the products. 

This manual may not be complete in all aspects of product maintenance and repair. 

All products should 

be used only by qualified and properly trained personnel, following proper safety procedures.

 All 

products should be regularly inspected and maintained, and their condition, application and use should 
be periodically evaluated by qualified personnel. Only qualified and properly trained technicians should 
perform maintenance, repair and replacement procedures. Attempting these procedures without proper 
training may cause machine damage or operator injury!  

Products may be unsupported by The Challenge Machinery Company due to age or the unavailability of 
parts from their original manufacturer. No parts or product support will be available to repair or maintain 
unsupported products. Older products may not be UL listed (if the product does not have a UL label it is 
not a listed product), and may not comply with applicable installation or other regulations or requirements 
if relocated to a new facility. Many municipalities require a product to be UL listed before an electrician 
will  connect  power  to  them.  Often  the  cost  of  updating  an  older  product  to  comply  with  current  safety 
regulations is greater than the value of the product.
