5.2 INSPECTION OF THE EQUIPMENT BEFORE ACTIVATION

Clean the equipment of any impurities and metal objects. Note: metal objects and
similar impurities may cause serious damage to the press if they get inside.

Check the status of the oil filling in the gearbox.

Switch the motor on for a short time to make sure that it runs freely and in the proper
direction. Pay special attention to that. You can perform the inspection by looking into
the charging hole. The correct direction of rotation is clockwise when looking at the
motor in the direction of the cakes output.

Check that the heating with the heating sleeve is alright.

Check that all other devices connected behind the press are running.

The press is designed to achieve the best results when running continuously.

The components of the screw system will wear down in time so it is necessary to
check: the screw, the die, the nozzle holder and the nozzles.
5.3 DUO CONTROLS

– DUO control
The equipment cannot be switched on using the controls until it is connected to the mains.

Press START to switch on the drive of the equipment.

In case of a power failure, the motor-circuit switch protection automatically turns off
the drive of the equipment, i.e. you have to press START again to the start the
equipment when the power supply has been renewed. If the motor is overloaded, the
motor-circuit switch turns off the drive of the equipment. If the motor-circuit switch
turns off repeatedly in short intervals (2 or 3 times), check the function of the pressing
mechanism, the temperature of the gearbox and the motor.
