ELECTRICAL
AND PNEUMATIC
HOOK-UPS
WARNING
All operations required for the elec-
trical hook-up of the machine to the
power supply must be carried out ex-
clusively by qualified personnel.
The electrical hook-up must be per-
formed according to:
- the electric power consumption of the
machine specified on the relative ma-
chine data plate.
- the distance between the machine and
the power supply hook-up point, to en-
sure that voltage drops under full load
do not exceed 4% (10% during start-up)
relative to the rated voltage indicated on
the specifications plate.
The operator must:
- fit a power plug onto the power cable in
compliance with applicable legislation.
- connect the machine to its own dedi-
cated power supply outlet equipped with
a specific type A or B differential circuit-
breaker (with sensitivity of 30 mA).
IMPORTANT: only the specified type A
and B security breakers will be tripped
correctly in response to all the failure cur-
rents which may occur on the machine .
- install protection fuses on the power
line that are suitably sized in accordance
with the indications given in the general
electrical layout diagram included in this
manual.
- ensure that the workshop electrical
system includes a functional grounding
circuit.
- prevent unauthorised use of the ma-
chine, always disconnect the power
supply plug when the machine is not
used (switched off) for extended peri-
ods of time.
- if the machine is connected directly to
the power supply by means of the main
electrical panel and without the use of
a plug, install a key-operated switch
or suitable lock-out device to restrict
machine use exclusively to qualified
personnel.
For correct machine operation the com-
pressed air supply line must provide a
pressure range from no less than 8 bar
to no more than 16 bar.
NOTE
The machine is equipped with a pres-
sure regulator set at 10 bar (standard
machine operation). When working with
easily deformable rims (such as vintage
car wheels, for example) we recommend
temporarily lowering the pressure to
7 - 8 bar.
WARNING
For the correct functioning of the ma-
chine it is essential to have a good
ground connection.
NEVER connect the ground wire to a
gas pipe, water pipe, telephone line
or other makeshift system.
Before making the electrical and pneu-
matic hook-ups, make sure that the ma-
chine is configured as described below
(fig.5):
- pedals A and B (if present) in fully de-
pressed position.
- column C vertical (not tilted).
