station is totally insulated according to class II.
Prior to commissioning make sure that the mains
voltage agrees with the operating voltage stated on
the machine's rating plate.

hand could influence simple earth leakage circuit
breakers. Therefore, use one of type F or better with
a tripping current of max. 30 mA.
Before starting up the charger, make sure that the
ventilation slots are unobstructed. The minimum
distance to other objects is min. 5 cm.
