3 Predispositions
E ectricity
The electrical co ectio of the system dashboard to the mai switchboard a d the sy chro izatio
of the differe t parts of the machi e have to be do e by specialized a d qualified perso el, by
respecti g the electrical schematics a d the provisio s of the local Norms about safety i worki g
sites a d electrical systems.
The anufacturer is not responsible for damages to properties, people and animals resulting
by the non-compliance of such provision.
Provide co ectio s for the grou di g of the machi e.
Fresh water
This wheel washi g u it is a “closed loop system” where wastewater are co ti uously treated a d
