ARBOR ASSEMBLY
The GP-8 Super Cabmaker is equipped with a 1" OD arbor shaft, two rubber sealed ball bearings and a shaft
1" to motor arbor 1/2" coupler (Fig 39). Should the bearings wear out on the arbor shaft, grinding and polishing
performance and short diamond wheel/belt life may result. Additionally, premature bearing wear may result in
permanent damage to the arbor shaft, and motor. This main stainless steel shaft arbor assembly can be pur-
chased from Barranca Diamond as a complete unit. Periodically check the tightness of the hood attachment
knobs (Fig 40) to make sure they are securely tightened to the aluminum reservoir body of the GP-8 Super
Cabmaker.
ELECTRIC MOTOR
The GP-8 Super Cabmaker is equipped with a Baldor 1/2 HP 1725 RPM single-phase 120 volt 60 Hz 8 amp
motor. The motor shaft has sealed ball bearings and requires no lubrication. The motor is protected from ther-
mal damage (overheating) with an automatic shut-off switch. If the motor overheats it will automatically shut off
and restart once its internal components cool down and the motor is restarted manually (red button). Be sure
to shut off the main motor by placing the switch lever to the OFF position and disconnecting the power source.
After allowing the motor to cool (2 to 3 hours), push the red reset button on the side of the motor (Fig 41) and
restart the unit by turning the switch to ON. If the motor does not restart after a cool down period, remove the
motor and have an authorized repair service center for Baldor inspect the motor. Barranca Diamond can refer
you to an authorized motor repair service center in your area.
SUBMERSIBLE PUMP
Periodically remove the plastic inlet cover on the submersible water
pump (Fig 42). Remove the outside plastic filter and clean any obstruc-
tions such as sludge or rock mud that may be found. Clean the filter with
warm, soapy water. Replace the filter and test the pump to ensure it is
functioning properly.
