HX-30/40

All machines must be operated
with water of drinking quality.
For water with an extremely high
mineral content, water treatment
is recommended.

2.2 Water connection (HX-30/40)

– If possible to soft and warm water (4° Clark, max. 60°C).
– Line flow pressure 0.6 – 6 bar.

If line flow pressure is less than 0.7 bar:

(must be carried out by an authorized technician)

– Switch Off machine.
– Remove front panel.
– Unscrew panel with electrical parts.

– Disconnect the water supply hose from water inlet valve.
– T ake a way the sie ve (S) and remov e the diaphragm (see drawing).
– Replace the sieve and reconnect supply hose.

– If line flow pressure is above 6 bar pro vide pressure reducer .
– Connect flexible supply hose with union nut 3/4" to site connection.

– Fit shut-off valve.

Water connection (HX-30/40 S)

For U.K. see following page.
– If possible to warm water (max. 60°C).
– Machine is provided for flow pressure 1.4 – 6 bar as standard.

– If flow pressure is below 1.4 bar, please contact the HOBART

service.

– If flow pressure exceeds 6 bar, pressure reducer is required.
– Connect flexible supply hose with union nut 3/4" to site connection.

should be fitted at installation. This valve is available from
HOBART Service Centres.

– Fit shut-off valve.

LOW PRESSURE SITUATIONS

Below 0.4 bar (6 psi) flow pressure there are two solutions.
a) Provide a suitable water storage tank at a height which will

create a pressure in excess of 0.4 bar or,

b) fit a water pump to increase the pressure.

A suitable pump can be supplied by HOBART at extra cost.

max. 1 m

MEDIUM PRESSURE SITUATIONS

0.4 – 0.7 bar (6-10 psi) flow pressure.
– Most installations will fall into this category and the machine will

arrive fitted with a solenoid valve designed for this pressure
range.

HIGH PRESSURE SITUATIONS

Above 0.7 bar flow pressure.

a) Fit a water storage tank at a suitable height.
b) Fit a pressure reducing valve during installation.

2.3 Drain Connection

– Connect to trapped drain line.
– Connection between machine and site drain may not exceed

max. height of drain pump lift of 1 m.

– Do not kink drain hose.
