If liquid go inside of the device, it will become the cause of an accident, failure, an electric shock, and a fire. 6.
Before Using This Unit Requirements for Installation CAUTION! 7. Choose a correct power distribution board or receptacle • Choose a correct power distribution board or receptacle that meets the unit’s rated electric capacity. Electric capacity: BB300: 100V AC, 12A BB400: 100V AC, 13A BB600: 100V AC, 20A NOTE) There could be the case that the unit does not run even after turning ON the power.
Before Using This Unit Installation Procedure 1 ボタン位置（高） Button position: high Release the stopper lock of the casters. Push down the stopper button of the casters as shown in the right figure. It will be unlocked. (Only the two casters on the front side of the unit are equipped with a caster.) ロック状態（据付） Locked (during installation) ボタン位置（低） Button position: low プッシュでロック解除 Push to unlock the （移動可） caster (movable) キャスター Caster 2 Move the unit to the place of installation.
Before Using This Unit Installation Procedure 6 Precautions about the circulating path • Carefully check the direction of circulation, and connect the hoses properly. Improper connection results in an accident or malfunction of the unit and the circulating path. • Minimize the length of the circulating path. If resistance inside the piping increases, the quantity of circulating fluid decreases, resulting in lower cooling efficiency.
