SELECT SUITABLE LOCATION
The POWER WAVE® S350CE will operate in harsh
environments. Even so, it is important that simple
preventative measures are followed in order to assure
long life and reliable operation.
• The machine must be located where there is free
circulation of clean air such that air movement in
the back, out the sides and bottom will not be
restricted.
• Dirt and dust that can be drawn into the machine
should be kept to a minimum. The use of air filters
on the air intake is not recommended because nor-
mal air flow may be restricted. Failure to observe
these precautions can result in excessive operating
temperatures and nuisance shutdown.
• Keep machine dry. Shelter from rain and snow. Do
not place on wet ground or in puddles.
• Do not mount the POWER WAVE® S350CE over
combustible surfaces. Where there is a com-
bustible surface directly under stationary or fixed
electrical equipment, that surface shall be covered
with a steel plate at least .060” (1.6mm) thick,
which shall extend not less than 5.90” (150mm)
beyond the equipment on all sides.
WARNING
LIFTING
Both handles should be used when lifting POWER WAVE®
S350CE. When using a crane or overhead device a lifting strap
should be connected to both handles. Do not attempt to lift the
POWER WAVE® S350CE with accessories attached to it.
STACKING
The POWER WAVE® S350CE cannot be stacked.
TILTING
Place the machine directly on a secure, level surface or on a
