Installation Guidelines, cont.

ANCHORING

The recommended mounting surface for the baler is a pad of steel reinforced concrete with a minimum 3,

000

psi

capacity. The pad should be at least 4 inches deep. The baler should be anchored using the anchor pads provided

with the machine. The anchor pads should be fastened to the baler footer using the supplied hardware. Secure the

anchor pads to the mounting surface with 4 anchor bolts (minimum 3/8"x4"). To allow for construction variances, the

holes should be drilled after locating the baler in the desired position.

ELECTRICAL

A lockable fused disconnect switch (customer furnished) must be installed within 50 feet, and in line of sight of

the baler electrical enclosure. This disconnect must be sized in accordance with the baler motor and voltage.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be connected to a grounded, metal, permanent wiring system; or an equipment-grounding

conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the

appliance. A qualified electrician should be consulted if there is any doubt as to whether an outlet box is properly

grounded.

HYDRAULIC

Install the included vented cap on the hydraulic tank before operating the machine.

Ensure that vented cap is installed

before running machine.
