To do this procedure, you must have (1) of the kits listed in Parts Included.

The machine must have brush motors and a classic Haas control.

Electrical Safety

 Caution: When you do maintenance or repair on CNC machines and their components, you must always follow basic safety precautions. This decreases the risk of injury and mechanical damage.

  • Set the main circuit breaker to the [OFF] position.

  Danger: Before beginning any work inside the control cabinet the Spindle Drive must have been off for at least 60 seconds.

Some service procedures can be dangerous or life-threatening. DO NOT attempt a procedure that you do not fully understand. If you have any doubts about doing a procedure contact your Haas Factory Outlet (HFO) and schedule a service visit.
