4.5.3 Important instructions
CAUTION: Danger of imbalance!
When the bowl has not been correctly assembled or is inadequately cleaned,
forces can be produced in the high-speed rotating bowl which endanger the op-
erating safety of the separator!
Therefore, the cleaning instructions (section 4.5.1) and assembling instructions
(section 4.5.4) must be exactly followed.
Pay particular attention to the following:
•
Before assembling the separator, check to be sure that the guide and contact
surfaces of the separator are clean.
•
Grease the guide surfaces as specified in the lubrication schedule (see 4.3.4).

•
Some bowl parts have to be ar-
ranged in fixed positions relative to
one another.
•
Locking devices and alignment
marks must be in perfect condition.
The separator must not be operated
if these locking devices and align-
ment marks are not in perfect condi-
tion.

•
When fitting the separator parts,
make sure that the "O" marks on all
parts are aligned.
(Only then will the parts fit correctly
over arresting pins and guide ribs).
•
Avoid damage to separator parts when fitting and removing by
– precise positioning,
– no diagonal pull!
•
Do not use force when removing or fitting parts.
•
This applies to all separator parts:
– Treat gently.
– Always set them down on a rubber mat or a wooden pallet.
