equipment is assembled with lock nuts and bolts. However, it is important
that all nuts and bolts are inspected before use as some may have become
loose during transit.

MUST conform to all federal, state, and local regula�ons and MUST be performed
only by a fully qualified electrician.
All electrical connec�ons MUST comply with local fire codes. Dedoes assumes
no liability if improper wiring is not completed by a cer�fied electrician.

MAINTENANCE
Cau�on: Disconnect the electrical power before performing any service
on the machine.
LUBRICATION:
Lubricate the machine periodically. The zinc bushing have an
oilite brass bushing. These may require lubrica�on more o�en. In either
case, use a lubricant recommended by your paint manufacturer.
NOTE:
When lubrica�ng bushings, remove the paint from under the
driver hinges and run the machine for a short period of �me.
V-BELT ADJUSTMENT:
(Reference #2 in part lis�ng) A�en�on must be
paid to the tension of the belt. Normal use will cause the belt to stretch.
Adjustment slots for the powerhead belt are located at each idler. To
adjust the belt, loosen the idler, and slide the idler closer to the center
of the power head un�l the tension is correct. Then re�ghten the idler.
MOTOR BELT ADJUSTMENT:
(Reference #12 in part lis�ng) The Motor Belt
is properly tensioned at factory standards. Op�mal tension is achieved
when the motor mount plate is parallel to the le� side panel.
NOTE:
Over tensioning the motor belt will cause damage to the belt
if the motor mount is not parallel to the le� side panel.
IMPORTANT: NEW BELTS SHOULD BE CHECKED AND ADJUSTED AFTER
THE FIRST DAY OF OPERATION AS NECESSARY.
