Only use connectors fitted with water-spray protection (IP57, EEC).
- Repairs to electrical installations must only be carried out by
qualified technicians. Always ensure that the machine is
disconnected from the power supply and is completely immobi-
le during repairs and maintenance operations.

- Connect the machine to a suitable equipotential

earthing  plant  on  the  construction  site  with  wire
braid  of  minimum  16  mm²  section.  The
connection  point  is  identified  by  a  screw  welded
to  the  frame  (Ref.  15,  fig.1),  and  on  the  rating
