5. Adjusting the machine
Before any adjustment of the machine, the main switch on the control panel must be in position
"O". (The machine is disconnected from all power.)
During the work, the operator must use rubber gloves and eye protection. Check also product
sheet / safety data sheets for claims for other protective equipment.
5.1 Overall
Open the lid on the machine.
Set the nozzles, back pressure roller and brushes to the outer position. Feed the item into the machine.
NB: The machines forward drive can not be activated, as long as the lid is open.
5.2 Back pressure roller
The back pressure rollers prevent the lower horizontal brushes lifting thin items, likewise they ensure
that the item is lead forward in the machine, and not ”drifting” on the forward drive rollers. Adjust the
rollers by loosening the wing screws and moving them towards the item. When the machine is empty of
items, the back pressure rollers and the forward drive rollers shall be just above each other, but with out
touching.
5.3 Feeding with items
As previously described the machine is specially designed for the treatment of the wedge-shaped
shingles with the previous mentioned maximum and minimum dimensions. The items are always
brought into the machine with the thin end first. If this is not respected, there is a risk that the
backpressure rollers will prevent the items to run through the machine. This will lead to an accumulation
of items in the machine, with the risk of operation stop.
5.4 Nozzles
Place the nozzles (item 9011-20645) approx. 20 mm from the item. Advantageously the nozzles can be
placed, so they will point forward. This means that the item also gets treated at the end.
5.5 Brushes and screen/shield
Rotating brushes apply fluids evenly and brush off excess fluid.
The brushes are identical and made from organic horsehair.
The brushes are mounted and removed by screwing off a single star handle.
The brushes can be set tightly or loosely against the item, depending on treatment and the shape of the
item.
Adjust the horizontal brushes by putting the included pole into the square pipe on the brushes module.
The screen will stop spray coming from the brushes and dripping on to the finished surface. It must
therefore always be in placed before starting the machine.
Adjust the screens so that there is approx. 10 mm gap between the item and the front edge.
