Before every start-up, check the oil level of the hydraulic unit. The oil level must
be between the min. and max. marking on dipstick in the oil filler cap. If
necessary, add type HLP 46 hydraulic oil.
Transport and set the hydraulic unit only in a horizontal position. If it is set at an
angle, oil escapes from the vented plugs with the dipstick.
Connect the hydraulic unit to the basic unit with both hydraulic hoses.
Protect the quick couplings from contamination. Replace leaky couplings immediately!

Connect the trimmer unit, hydraulic unit and heating plate mains plugs to the power outlet /
supply specified on the type plates.
P160 – P250 B PRO BASIC :
The red "Stand by" diode on the heating element lights up, which means: voltage is being applied.
Switch on the heating element on the hand grip using the large press-button (lights up green) and
set the desired temperature using the "+" or "-" button (160°C to 285°C / 320°F to 545°F).
Heating is displayed on the hand grip by the yellow diode. Horizontal bars also appear on the
temperature indicator. The yellow diode goes out shortly before reaching the set nominal
temperature (tolerance +/-3°C / 5.4°F) and the green one lights up. The heating element is usable
after a further 10 minutes. Note: upon first reaching the nominal temperature the set value can be
exceeded for short time.
Check the temperature using an external temperature measuring instrument. If there are
deviations it means that the heating element must be re-calibrated: press the "+" and "-" button
simultaneously and then set the difference using the "+" or "-" button.
If "Er1" appears this means the electronics are defective. For "Er2" the resistance thermometer is
either defective or not connected. Send the device to an authorized VIRAX specialist workshop.
Risk of serious injury! The heating plate can reach temperatures of over 290°C /
554°F! We highly recommend storing the heating plate in the designated carrying
frame immediately after use!

Turn on the main switch of the control box. The switch lights up green and the actual temperature of
the hotplate is shown on the display. Use the – and + keys to set the desired temperature between
160°C and 270°C.
When the set temperature is reached, the display jumps from "set" to "actual", and the "heat" display
blinks. The heating element is ready to use after another 10 minutes. Check the temperature with a
temperature measurement device. The temperature regulator is optimally set at the factory. If the
actual surface temperature on the heating element does not reflect the temperature shown, again.
P500 – P630 B PRO BASIC :
Switch on master switch in the control box / heating plate (the switch lights green when power supply
properly connected). Set required temperature (cf. temperature controller).
