SECTION 3 - PREPARING THE MACHINE FOR OPERATION
3.1 Unpacking the machine
The machine is packed in a strong carton box. Open this box from the upper side, as indicated
by the arrow, remove the anti-impact materials and raise the machine, holding it with both
hands at the bottom. Free the machine from the protective nylon wrapping and perform
preliminary cleaning of the external surface of the machine, using a soft dry cloth.
3.2 Setting up for operation
Transfer the machine to the place where it is required for operation, bearing in mind its size and
the dimensions of the containers for the products to be processed and for finished products,
leaving a sufficient space all around the machine for movement.
The base must rest on a solid, uniform and properly levelled surface. The machine requires no
anchoring to the supporting surface.
3.3 Installing dismantled parts
To facilitate packing and transportation, certain components of the machine are supplied
dismantled. However, tests are carried out at the factory before shipment to verify that they
function correctly when installed. To install these components, proceed as follows:
Take hold of the presser lever and pull upwards (C Fig.1)
Rotate the knob (A Fig.1) by a half- turn until a click is heard and the released knob itself
partially moves out.
With both hands take hold of and raise the cover (F Fig.1)
On the rotating hub, install first of all an expulsion disc (high-ridge or low-ridge according to
requirements refer to table 2), making sure that the drive pins on the hub are properly
inserted in the holes in the disc.
NOTE: The expulsion disc MUST ALWAYS BE INSTALLED so that the discs can operate
in the correct position.
If you have to carry out operations that require only one disc, insert only one rotating disc above
the expulsion disc. If you have to carry out operations that require the simultaneous use of two
discs (Table 1), insert the following devices in the order given below:
1° - Expulsion disc (high-ridge or low-ridge)
2° - Fixed grid
3° - Rotating disc
FOR OPTIMUM USE OF ALL TYPES OF ROTATING DISCS AND, IF REQUIRED,
SIMULTANEOUS USE OF DISCS WITH FIXED GRIDS REFER TO TABLE 1, WHERE ALL
POSSIBLE FUNCTIONAL COMBINATIONS ARE INDICATED.
3.4 Connections
Sections 1.1 and 2.1 describe the fundamental operations for installation and the values of
absorbed power. Connection of the machine to the mains circuit must be carried out by a
specialised installation operator, who must have all the technical instruments required for this
purpose.
