To remove the outlet grid (Fig. 3/G) and the inlet grating (Fig.
Installation 5.3 Connecting pipes a) Vacuum connection at (Fig. 2/A) and pressure connection at (Fig. 2/B). NOTICE Material damage resulting from the forces and torques of the pipes on the unit being too high. screw pipes in by hand. The machine output is reduced if the pipes are too narrow and/or too long. b) Check to ensure the intake line and pressure line are connected correctly.
Installation 5.5 Connecting the motor GEFAHR Danger of death if the electrical installation has not been done professionally. The electrical installation may only be done by a specialist electrician observing EN 60204. The operating company has to provide the main switch. a) The electrical motor data can be found on the data plate (Fig. 3/N) or the motor data plate. The motors comply with DIN EN 60034 and are in protection class IP 55 and insulation class F.
Commissioning and decommissioning 6 Commissioning and decommissioning 6.1 Commissioning WARNING Unsachgemäßer Umgang Improper use May lead to severe or fatal injuries. Therefore be sure to obey the safety instructions. VORSICHT Noise emission The highest noise pressure levels measured as per EN ISO 3744 are given in Section 9. When spending a long time in the vicinity of the running machine use ear protectors to avoid permanent damage to your hearing.
Commissioning and decommissioning 6.1.1 Drehrichtung prüfen The drive shaft direction of rotation is shown by the rotation direction arrow (Fig. 3/O). a) Start the motor briefly (max. two seconds) to check the direction of rotation. When looking at the motor fan, it must rotate clockwise. The suction pipe must not be connected when starting up like this. NOTICE Incorrect direction of rotation Running the machine in reverse for a long time may cause damage to the blades which may lead to the blades breaking.
