Installation
Improper installation of this sander creates a substantial safety hazard including
the risk of accident or property damage.
Overview
The Elston Traction Sanders you are about to install are designed to provide many years of service. As
you install these sanders, pay special attention to preventing corrosion and keeping moisture out of
electrical connections and components as these are the two primary issues that limit the life of the
sander.
The purpose of these instructions is to aid you in installing a fully functional set of sanders that operates
reliably and is safe and secure under both normal condition and, as much as possible, during an accident.
However these instructions are not a substitute for personal knowledge and experience with working on
trucks and/or electrical systems. Please do not install those areas of the sander where you lack personal
knowledge and experience.
Throughout this guide, the word “must” is used for any instruction that if not followed would create a
safety hazard and/or yield an installation that would not comply with current standards. An instruction
with the word “should” is necessary either for the proper functioning of the product or improves the
long-term safe operation of the product. If you are unable to follow any instructions with the words
“must” or “should”, please contact us to discuss how your installation can still be completed in a way
that is functional, safe, and compliant. Finally, an instruction that recommends indicates an instruction
designed to maximize the working life of the product, simplify installation, or improve the appearance
of the installed product.
