Compressed air connection
The machine has a pneumatic drive.
Before setting up the compressed air connection, ensure that:
•
the compressed air supply system guarantees the right amount of air to the machine at the right pressure;
•
the compressed air tank provided is properly sized.
The compressed air connection must be set up by connecting the main line to the machine circuit.
The customer must also guarantee an air supply with the characteristics listed in the “Technical Specifications” section in t
his manual.
CAUTION!
Never exceed a pressure of 6 bar in the machine’s compressed air system.
CAUTION!
It is the responsibility of the user/customer to ensure that the main air handling unit is connected properly with
rigid pipes, firmly fixed to prevent
a whip effect or protected with other guards that prevent or block “jet” leaks.
