Essential Services
Floor space needed:
For the product - roughly 1500 mm x 1500 mm of solid,
level floor, adjacent to an outside wall with exhaust duct.
For refuelling and maintenance access - an additional

Electrical supply:
230 VAC, 50 Hz a.c. single-phase 17 A
or
220 VAC, 60 Hz a.c. phase-phase 17 A
Water supply and drain:
At least 18 litres per minute, assuming a cold water supply
at less than 10°C
Exhaust duct system:
At least 100 mm diameter heat-resistant material, vented
directly to atmosphere.
Note: your local conditions affect how you direct your

*The GT185 includes a length of metal flexible hose to
help with your exhaust.
Oil breather vent:
19 mm diameter, direct to atmosphere
Room ventilation:
Roughly 4000 m3/h assuming standard 20°C room
temperature
