(3) Lock wheel brakes at base and erect adequate barriers to prevent pedestrian access to underside of HODDI.

		(4) Plug machine into suitable power supply, ensure all remove stop buttons are latched in. NB: 4 K VA generator required or 110v transformer
		(5) Set load centralisers at base, select mode required (fig 4) (I = up / II = down) load as required. (fig 4)

Routine Maintenance

Main Belt Adjustment

In the event of main belt slipping under load the belt must be adjusted to take up the slack.

Remove plug and isolate before making any adjustments. Slacken off the four 19mm adjuster nuts (fig A) on either side of machine head. Next tighten the adjuster bold until desired belt tension is achieved.

(Approx 100mm drop at centre of machine) machine at 45º.

Re-tighten the four adjusters nuts. Run machine and check belt tracking at top. If the belt tracks to one side. Stop machine and isolate, loosen the adjuster nuts on the same side the belt tracks across to, then wind in the adjuster bolt a few turns. Re-check tracking running machine. Re-tighten adjuster nuts.
