Applying force
If excessive forces are present, this can damage the fan impeller.

enter the motor.
● Once the voltage has been disconnected on all poles, wait for five minutes before touching
the device.
● Never open the external cooling unit during operation.
● Never loosen any fixing screws for the external cooling unit during operation.
Changing the filter mat of the external fan (option)
Check the state of the filter mat regularly depending on the prevailing conditions. Change it if
it is dirty.
CAUTION
Changing the filter only when the fan is stationary
When the mesh is removed, the degree of protection is no longer guaranteed. There is a risk
of injury. Only change the filter when the fan is stationary.

2. Insert the new filter mats and screw the fan guard back into position.
You can order the filter mat as a spare part.
