15.1.2 Dosing
Adjust the flow of material immediately after turning on the level adjustment of the feed
hopper. Slowly pull up the adjustment knobs and observe the material flow through the
inspection glass.
You may only take the device into operation, when all components have
been completely integrated in the installation.
All protective systems have to be correctly installed.
Remove all items that might have fallen into the feed hopper before setting
the swing plate back to its original position via the adjustment knobs.
The space between the individual carrier plates must not be filled more
than 3/4 with material to be conveyed.
