Note! Do not use phase adders (roto-phase) on inverter driven equipment!

The machine should be connected to an individual branch circuit not shared with lighting or other
equipment.

A lockable, load break rated, visible break disconnect switch with safe working clearances is re-
quired for all installations. A disconnect plug is also acceptable, so long as it is able to safely break
the load, is in an accessible location, and can be locked.

The connection should be shielded in a liquid tight or approved flexible conduit with proper con-
ductor of correct size installed in accordance with National Electric Code (USA) or other applicable
codes. The connection must be made by a qualified electrician using the wiring diagram provided
with the machine.

For personal safety and for proper operation, the machine must be grounded in accordance with
state and local codes and in the USA in accordance with the National Electric Code, article 250-96.

The ground connection must be to a proven earth ground, not to conduit or water pipes.

Do not connect the ground to the neutral (N) leg at the terminal strip.

If a DELTA supply system is used, the high leg should be connected to T or L3, as control power
is derived from L1 & L2.

Uncrating

Prior to removing the packaging from the machine, ensure that the installation site is acceptable
and any necessary floor or foundation improvements or modifications have been made.

Remove all packaging materials from the machine including bagging, crating, straps and any other
materials while leaving the machine attached to the pallet.

Remove these and move to a safe place until called for:

• Optional canopies

• Optional railing

• All end frame panels

• Boiler ductwork

Carefully check all enclosures and remove any other materials shipped with the machine. These
items will be used later in the installation process, so move to a convenient place.
