1. Remove the carton box and styrofoam inserts.
2. Check to ensure that all of the
accessory components are with the unit:
- Power lead
- Service hoses with quick couplers
- User's manual
- (Optional) Wireless temperature
sensor with USB cable
3. Unscrew two securing M6 bolts
situated on each side of the bottom of
the platform base.
4. Place and secure the unit head,
connect the cable (if not).
5. Connect power lead to power socket
situated behind the right hand rear

6. Switching ON the Machine
Switch ON the machine power switch.
After the welcome menu, the machine will
display the number of hours left before the
maintenance service is required.
Followed by self purge and hose evacuation
(if necessary).
