ONE 7TS – Operation and use
6.3.2 Starting the machine
ATTENTION:
The lubrication oil indicated in the specifications is suitable for operating temperatures between
+5°C and +40°C: DO NOT START the machine if the room temperature is below +5°C, to prevent the
risk of breakages in the lubrication system.
Contact the Technical Support Department of
GEA Niro Soavi S.p.A.
who will indicate the type of
lubricant suitable for the specific environmental conditions.
ATTENTION:
Do not start the machine if the room temperature is below +5°C without first checking the integrity of
the piston lubrication water system and any water heat exchangers.
Once the pre-start checks have been performed you can start the machine as follows:
1) Open all the shutoff valves for the auxiliary services (water, air, steam) and if needed adjust their flow
(adjustments are usually made at the factory during the final testing of the machine)
ATTENTION:
NEVER start the machine if there is no lubrication water for the plungers, or serious damage may be
cause to seal packings and plungers.
ATTENTION:
An excess of cooling water can cause flooding of the water collection sump, or excessive splashing
of water on the guide pistons, and thus cause water to enter in the drive body. You should therefore
monitor the flow of water after you have adjusted it to an indicative flow rate of at least 30 l/h per pis-
ton. The lubrication circuit should be drained regularly to discharge any water that may have gone
into the oil.
2) Keep product feed at the flow rate and pressure values indicated in the TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
enclosed in chapter 11 of this manual.
ATTENTION:
Feed pressure below the limits indicated in the specification will cause CAVITATION effects in the
machine with the typical mechanical noise in the head, causing serious damage to the whole ma-
chine.
GEA Niro Soavi S.p.A.
shall not be liable for damage or malfunctions caused by CAVITATION
even during the 12-month warranty period.
3) Connect power by means of the master switch in the panel.
