Observe the following when installing hoses
–
The hose must be attached to the floor at several
points (e.g. with perforated tape) to prevent it from
'floating' upwards (in the case of floor-mounting,
suction head).
–
Route hose as straight as possible. To avoid sag-
ging, use SOLARFOCUS article
support shell
made of zinc plated sheet steel
.
–
Do not kink the hose (observe bending radius of >
30 cm).
–
The hose is not UV-resistant (routing outdoors is
not permissible).
–
Temperature resistance of the hose < 60°C.
–
Always push the end of the hose fully onto the
pipe connection as far as the stop. The hose will
slide on to the connection pipe better if you apply
a little water to the pipe.
–
Tighten hose clamps firmly. Detachment of the
hose and the intake of false air must be reliably
prevented.
5.10.1 Electrically earthing the pellet hose
i
A metal braid is integrated into the inside of
the plastic hose coil.
This metal braid must be electrically connec-
ted to the connecting pipe at each hose end
(for suction hose and return air hose).
Expose the strand and bend it into the hose
►
Expose approx. 10 cm of the metal strand at the
end of the hose (remove any plastic sheathing
from the strand with wire strippers).
►
Curve the metal braid and bend it onto the inside
of the hose.
►
Push the hose over the metal connection pipe.
