Check the following points:
• Machine freely accessible from all sides
• Do not close ventilation grids and holes
• Suffi cient room for installing and removing pipes
and for maintenance work, particularly for install-
ing and dismantling the machine
• No external vibration effects
• Do not suck any hot exhaust air from other ma-
chines into the cooling system.
The oil fi lling point (Fig. 2/H), oil sight glass (Fig. 2/I) and oil outlet (Fig. 2/K) must be easily acces-

5.2 Installation
NOTICE
The machine may only be operated when it is
set up horizontally.
Material damage resulting from the machine
tipping over and falling.
When installed at more than 1000 m above sea
level a reduction in power is noticeable. In this
case we would ask you to contact us.
Ensure that the foundation complies with the follow-
ing conditions:
• Level and straight
• The bearing surface must be at least the same
size as the machine
• The bearing surface must be able to bear the
weight of the machine
It must be possible to install the machine on a fi rm foundation without anchoring. When installing
on a substructure we recommend fi xing with fl exible buffers.
