of
the
generator
shall
not
fall
beyond
the
permissible
range
of

V;
these
are

9. ATTENDANCE
AND
TECHNICAL
MAINTENANCE
ATTENTION:
Before
opening
the
machine,
switch
it
off
and
disconnect
the
mains
plug.
Wait
until
internal
circuits
of
the
machine
de
‐
energize
(about
5
minutes),
and
only
then
proceed
with
other
actions.
When
leaving
the
machine,
install
a
restrictive
plate
which
prohibits
switching
the
machine
on.
In
order
to
ensure
proper
operation
of
the
machine
for
many
years,
adhere
to
several
rules:
-
conduct
inspection
in
accordance
with
safety
practices
within
the
established
time
intervals
(see
"Safety
rules"
chapter);
-
if
the
machine
is
subject
to
heavy
use,
it
is
recommended
to
purge
it
with
dry
compressed
air
once
per
six
month.
ATTENTION:
If
the
machine
is
purged
from
a
very
short
distance,
electronic
components
may
be
damaged;
-
if
the
machine
is
very
dust
‐
laden,
clean
channels
of
the
cooling
system
manually.
