The machine is outfitted with a feeding cable with a cross-section area of 3×1.5 mm2, a length 1.5m. Connect the machine to 230V./50Hz by means of a blue CEI plug, interposing a magnetothermic-
differential switch of 10A, ∆ I = 0.03A. At this point make sure that the grounding system works perfectly. Furthermore, check that the data shown on the serial number-technical plate (FIG. n°5) correspond to the data on the delivery notes.

PPJ/LCJ SC with three-phase motor
The machine is outfitted with a feeding cable with a cross-section area of 5 x 1.5 mm² and; a length 5.1 ≅m. Connect the machine to the 400V./50Hz three- phase electrical network by means of a CEI plug, interposing a magneto thermic-differential switch of 10 A, ∆I = 0.03 A. At this point make sure that the grounding system works perfectly. Before finally connecting the machine to the three-phase feeder line, check the direction of rotation of the cap by pressing the START pushbutton (see FIG. n.°9) then immediately stop it by pressing the STOP pushbutton. The direction of rotation of the cap seen from the discharge outlet must be counterclockwise; if the direction of rotation is not exact, invert two of the three feeding wires in the plug or outlet (see FIG. n°7). The three-phase motor can run with a tension of either 230 V.or 400V. If not otherwise specified the connections are carried out for 400V.; to adapt to a three-phase 230V. network ask for assistance from the “ASSISTANCE CENTER”.
