Installation
The floor must be clean and dry, free from floor polish and other greasy substances, so that the machine does not slide about. Do not use any grease as lubrification.
Installation on deep pile carpets and floor coverings with foam backings is not recommended, as the stability of the machine is no longer guaran- teed. If the installation must be done on a carpeted floor, the openings located at the lower part of the back of the appliance must remain free. These openings ensure a good ventilation of your appli- ance. In case of small format tiles, place a stan- dard rubber mat under the machine.
With sprung floors, in particular wooden plank floors with yielding floor boards, screw down a waterproof wooden base at least 15 mm thick, across at least 2 floor boards. Wherever possible, place the appliance in the corner of the room - there wooden floors are most secure and least liable to resonance vibrations.
Never compensate for small unevennesses in the floor by placing wood, pasteboard or such like.
The front adjustable feet must be blocked after installation of the appliance by means of the locking nuts.
Levelling |
|
It is essential that your machine is absolutely level. |
|
Raise or lower the front feet of the machine; |
|
tighten the nuts of the feet with an adjustable |
|
wrench (fig.1). |
|
Also make sure that the machine does not touch |
|
the wall, the furnitures etc. during the functioning. |
|
This in order to avoid vibrations, noise or displace- |
|
ments of the appliance during operation. | Fig. 1 |
