I realised that I never concluded this thread - for anyone else having a sililar prob.....
So in the end I took the machine to ALT machine spares in Birmingham - who are a Startrite specialist.
It turned out that the single phase to three phase convertor that I have connected it to had totally...
Yeah I agree that something must have come loose in transit - it ran before that!
...So I've been round with a continuity tester and found various faults. I've not tested the machine yet as it's in back of a luton van on my driveway. I'll take it to some 3 phase later...
The main off button...
Thanks (all) for your thoughts. I'll get onto it. I'm slowed down by having to borrow three phase from a neighbouring unit - my intention in the short term was to run the machine from a 3ph convertor (from 32A 240v) until I get 3Ph connected. So I may be a little slow in solving this. 415v...
Hi Guys....

Epoxies are slow and ENTIRELY dependent on temperature. The reaction is exothermic - i.e. energy is released during the reaction and so the mixture will become hot. This heat then speeds up the...
