Electrical system
The following pages contain a brief description of the major electrical components and assemblies that are on the feeder breaker.
The machine receives electrical power through a heavy-duty trailing cable. Be sure that the box connector is correctly identified and is securely connected; also check that the cable entrance is in good mechanical condition. Walk along the trailing cable from the power center to the feeder breaker and check the condition of the trailing cable. Give special attention to points most apt to cause damage, such as corners, intersections, and where cable may be run over by moving equipment. Never use trailing cable with exposed wires or splices which heat up or spark under load.
WARNING! This section is intended only to familiarize the user with the major electrical components of the feeder breaker. All electrical maintenance should be performed only by a qualified electrician with the knowledge of the function of the components involved.
WARNING! Before removing the cover from the starter enclosure and attempting any maintenance or troubleshooting on the machine, the main power must be disconnected and locked and tagged out at the main power center.
