SELECT SUITABLE LOCATION
The POWER WAVE
®
S500CE will operate in harsh
environments. Even so, it is important that simple
preventative measures are followed in order to assure
long life and reliable operation.
• The machine must be located where there is free
circulation of clean air such that air movement in
the back, out the sides and bottom will not be
restricted.
• Dirt and dust that can be drawn into the machine
should be kept to a minimum. The use of air filters
on the air intake is not recommended because nor-
mal air flow may be restricted. Failure to observe
these precautions can result in excessive operating
temperatures and nuisance shutdown.
• Keep machine dry. Shelter from rain and snow. Do
not place on wet ground or in puddles.
• Do not mount the POWER WAVE
combustible surfaces. Where there is a com-
bustible surface directly under stationary or fixed
electrical equipment, that surface shall be covered
with a steel plate at least .060" (1.6mm) thick,
which shall extend not less than 5.90" (150mm)
beyond the equipment on all sides.
