Preparation for use
• Place the IH 240 in the horizontal position on a stable surface.
• Connect the mains plug to a suitable mains supply.
• For workpieces with an internal diameter large (>186mm) enough to fi t
over the inductive coil, follow these steps:
- Place the workpiece over the inductive coil using appropriate
lifting equipment.
- For best performance, adjust the position of the workpiece so
that the inductive coil is in the centre.
- If the sliding yoke is not installed on the IH 240, follow the
steps shown in the illustrations at the beginning of this manual.
Remove the protective fi lm from the bright underside of the
sliding yoke before the fi rst use.
- Slide the sliding yoke to the right so that it completely covers the
top of both vertical supports.
• For workpieces that do not fi t over the inductive coil, should be heated on
the horizontal yoke.
• If you will use TEMP MODE, plug the temperature probe into the
connector on the left side of the heater. Place the magnetic end of the
probe on the inner ring of the bearing or on the innermost surface of the
workpiece.
• Switch the IH 240 on using the power switch on the left side.
