SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

We wish to draw your attention to the 

following 2 safety measures which must be 

complied with:

a) During operation, do not allow anyone 

to stand in front of the air outlet guards, 

in case anything is ejected from them.

b) Do not allow children younger than 14 

to go near the air outlet guards.

A set of self-adhesive stickers depicting the 

various warning symbols is included with 

this maintenance manual. They should be 

positioned as shown in the drawing below 

once the machine has been fully installed.

WARNING
The alternators must not be put into
