Main Disconnect Switch
The main disconnect switch (Figure 3-2) is
located on the electrical connection box at the
left front of the unit. When turned to OFF, the
main disconnect switch locks out the incoming
electrical power to the unit.
Unless otherwise indicated, turn the main
disconnect switch to OFF before performing any
maintenance or repair work.
For more information on operating the main
disconnect switch, refer to the
INSTALLATION
chapter,
Installation Procedures
section,
Electrical Connection
procedure.
Safety STOP Buttons
Pressing any of the three red safety STOP
buttons (Figure 3-3, A) immediately stops all
rotating parts. Twist to release/reset a pressed
STOP button.
The preferred method of stopping the operation
of the unit is by pressing the red STOP button in
the center control panel.
Air Permeable Barriers (Safety
Guards)
A split air permeable barrier, which covers
the top of the unit (Figure 3-3, B), has a safety
function as well as helping to make the primary
folds. It helps prevent fingers or hands from
coming into contact with moving parts.
It also serves to keep objects, other than items
to be folded, from entering the unit and damaging
components. Lifting either section of the barrier
immediately stops all rotating parts.
Figure 3-2: The main disconnect switch is located
on the electrical connection box at the
right front of the unit.
