ZEUS CHECK ON POWER SUPPLY Make sure that the electrical system is earthed and complies with regulations. • Check the mains voltage corresponds to the equipment’s rating. • The supply cable is provided without plug. Use a plug which guarantees the plant earthing.
ZEUS CONNECTION OF THE TOOLING TO THE POWER SUPPLY • Lift the suction unit and immerse it in the bucket that contains the washing liquid. • Connect the clamp to an earthing point. Before connection up the power supply to the equipment, make sure that the electrical system is earthed and complies with regulations.
ZEUS • Turn the pressure setting knob (F6) clockwise to the “CIR- CULATION & WASHING” position (drop symbol). Absolutely avoid to spray solvents indoors. In addition, it is recommended to keep away from the pump in order to avoid the contact between Circulation the solvent fumes and the electric motor.
ZEUS WORKING Never use products containing halogen hydrocarbons (as methy- lene chloride). If these products come into contact with aluminium parts of the equipment, can provoke dangerous chemical reactions with risk of explosion. START OF THE WORKING OPERATIONS Make sure that the electrical system is earthed and REMOVE THE FILTER (F9) FOR DENSE PRODUCTS.
