can be removed for changing the oil and checking the oil level. The reservoir should be kept full at all
times. Fill the reservoir so that the oil level is 3/4” below the top of the inside of the hydraulic tank.
NOTE: DO NOT OVERFILL. Overfilling may cause leakage when the machine is hot.

6.9 Power Hook-Up
SHOCK HAZARD! Always disconnect power at main power panel
before working on the cutter. Lock it out to prevent accidental power up. See Power Lockout
Procedure (page 5).
For satisfactory operation, be sure that your cutter is wired for the correct phase and voltage and has
adequate power. The correct electrical specifications for your machine are shown on the serial plate.
Check the machine serial plate before connecting the power. For future reference, transfer this
information to the front cover of this manual.
Watch Setup Voltage- Inadequate power to the cutter can be a major source of problems. Too
many machines on the same circuit will reduce the power to each machine. Inadequate voltage will
frequently cause overheating, loss of power, and in extreme cases, failure to operate. Test your
voltage when the shop is at actual working levels. Challenge recommends a dedicated line with a
lockable disconnect to provide adequate power for this machine.
Important: You must have an adequate size circuit and heavy enough wiring for this machine. The
circuit size should be a minimum of 20% greater than the amperage rating on the machine
nameplate. If a wire is run over 75 feet (23 meters), the next size wire should be used. Check local
electrical codes.
