How to Do a Test of Emergency Stop Mechanisms
This test applies to machines that have one or more stop mechanisms in addition to the Stop

button (
). Do this test at the intervals given in the maintenance summary.
Definitions:
3-wire circuit—a series electrical circuit on a Milnor machine that must close before the
machine can operate. If a switch in the circuit opens, machine movement stops and the
operator alarm (a buzzer and a display message) comes on. When you push the start button

be incorrect. An error
will occur and operation
will stop.
