4 PREPARATION BEFORE OPERATION
4.1 Cleaning
Unpainted and uncoated machine surfaces were coated with a rust inhibitor prior to
shipment. The rust inhibitor should be cleaned with an appropriate solvent. To prevent
rust on unpainted surfaces, a light coat of machine oil can be applied.
4.2 Lubricating
Lubricate all the sliding parts before starting.
4.3 Coolant
The machine is shipped with the coolant reservoir empty. Fill the reservoir with coolant
until it is full.
Caution: Do not run the coolant pump without coolant in the reservoir. Otherwise, the
coolant pump will be damaged.

1. Electrical connection must be done by a qualified electrician, in conformance with the
required electrical standards of your area.
