INSTALLATION
Install the X-TRACTOR 8A on a solid foundation that is flat and even.
Make sure the operator has easy access to all switches and controls.
Do not expose the unit to temperatures over 104º F (40º C), as this
will reduce the motor power and shorten the life of the unit.
The installer is responsible for following Federal, State and
Local safety codes and regulations.
Before drilling, verify locations of existing gas, water, or
electrical conduits.
