Initial Assembly Formech FM660
The machine should be sited on a level concrete floor. Dusty or draughty areas will compromise
machine performance but it is important to allow enough space around the machine to allow access into
the various panels and to ensure a good airflow to prevent overheating. During all of the following
installation ensure that the power supply is properly isolated.
Electrical connection
An electric supply of correct voltage, current & frequency is required. An isolating switch with facility to
be locked in 'OFF' position and capable of handling full current should be wall mounted, within easy
reach of the operator.
415V Three phase supply.
The major current consuming devices within this machine are 230V single phase. However, in order to
balance the load to electricity generator's requirements, each phase of a standard three phase supply
should be connected to the L1 L2 & L3 of the machine. A neutral wire of full load capacity is required in
this case.
THIS MACHINE MUST BE PROPERLY EARTHED IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL
REGULATIONS.
Pneumatic connection
The connection to the machine should be via a lockable shut off valve.
All fittings are threaded BSP. If flexible hoses are used it is strongly advised that they are of canvas or
wire reinforced rubber and suitably rated for pressure and temperature. Connection hose size should
be 12mm diameter.
Maximum airline pressure must not exceed 6BAR or 80 PSI
Attaching the stabiliser bar arrangement
The kit comprises two sidepieces, one stabiliser bar and fixing screws.
1
Remove the two lower screws from each side of the rear panel.
2
Align stabiliser side piece with the panel holes.
3
Insert screws. Do not tighten at this stage.
4
Place stabiliser bar between the side pieces aligning with the screw holes and insert screws.
5
Ensure the stabiliser assy is situated at its lowest point of adjustment and tighten up all screws.
Heat Guard assembly and fitting
The Heater Guard is attached to the rear rails and heat shield. The rails slot together with the rail key
bar. Remove the screws fitted to the rear of the front rails and slide the complete heater guard into
place. Refit the two M6 screws and nuts into the rail key and rear rail, one on each side. Ensure that
these fixing are tight and that the rails are aligned.
660 Heater - no fitting required.
The heater is attached to the machine with the heater wheels sitting on the rails. The heater is
connected to the electrical box located at the rear of the machine with cable and chain and electrical
conduit. Remove any transit ties after fitting the Heater guard and rear rails. The heater should roll
freely back into the heater guard.
Drape Table lever
This lever may require fitting. Remove the bolt from the main crank on the right hand side of the
machine. Place the bolt in the main shaft of the lever and push the keyed shaft into the keyed main
crank. Tighten the shaft bolt well. It is important that this retaining bolt remains tight, check regularly.
