Electric Drive Machine
Operation & Safety Instructions
Cautions and Warnings:
•
Before installation of any ground anchor, determine that the ground anchors to be installed will not be
near any underground electrical cables, phone lines, water lines, sewer pipes, or gas lines.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death
•
The EDM is designed for operation by two people.
•
Do not allow the EDM to be wedged against the home or other solid objects, when operating the EDM.
•
Electrical cord must be a minimum of 14-2 wire size w/ground up to 25 ft. of cord. Longer cords
must be 12-2 wire size w/ground or lower.
•
Never operate the EDM in wet or rainy conditions.
•
Frayed or patched electrical cords should never be used with the EDM.
•
Care should be taken to keep electrical cords away from anchors.
•
Never operate drive machine without the GFI power cord. Damage to motor and injury to operator
can result from bypassing the GFI.
•
The GFI will shut off power when a ground fault is detected. The GFI will also shut off power when it
detects low voltage or improper amps required to drive the motor. Many times the problem
will be the use of an extension cord that is too long or is too light in gage.
