General Advice
All work related to the start-up of the machine must be carried out by trained and
specialized personnel.
Check the oil level of the gearbox before operating the machine!
Fill hydraulic tank with oil. Please observe the instructions in the

Checking the Rotational Direction
Rotational direction of the motors must be checked before initial start-up. The following
steps must be completed.
• Switch the machine on and immediately off again.
• Observe whether the discharge air fan in the drive motor is rotating in the
direction of the directional arrow.
NOTE: If running in the wrong direction, re-connect the motor connection
immediately. Damage to the machine will result from operating in the
wrong direction.
