Electrical Connection

CAUTION: Electric connection to the power outlet should be operated by skilled personnel. Check for the perfect efficiency of the plant grounding system. Make sure that the line voltage (V) and frequency (Hz) correspond to the machine ratings (refer to the machine identification plate and wiring diagram).

Water and Discharge Connection

Connect to water supply by means of the supplied hose (59 inches) and 3/4" couplings. Proceed as follows:

• Connect the hose to the inlet at the back side of the machine (labeled 'A' in diagram 1).
• Connect the other end of the hose to the water supply (labeled 'B' in diagram 1).
• For floor models, use the hose clamp to affix the drain hose to the joint of the discharge pan. The other end of the drain hose is inserted into the drainage system (see diagram 2).

Note: The drain hose and hose clamps are optional parts.

Diagram 1 illustrates the water inlet connection using a hose with 3/4" couplings, showing points A and B. Diagram 2 shows the discharge connection for floor models, including a hose clamp and a hose of approximately 25mm x 1.8m, with a diameter range of 18-32mm for the clamp and 20mm for the hose fitting.
