5.2 Installation
NOTICE
The machine may only be operated when it is
set up horizontally.
Material damage resulting from the machine
tipping over and falling.
When installed at more than 1000 m above sea
level a reduction in power is noticeable. In this
case we would ask you to contact us.
Contamination in the intake air
To protect the machine the operator should install
appropriate fi lters on the suction side.
Check for oil leakage
Risk of falling in oil spills!
Ensure that the foundation complies with the follow-
ing conditions:
• Level and straight
• The bearing surface must be designed to be
able to take the weight of the machine.
It is possible to install the machine on a fi rm base without anchoring. When installing on a sub-
structure we recommend fi xing with fl exible buffers.
