Transportation
The machine comes equipped with an electronic system called a variable speed
drive or a frequency converter. The drive enables the variable speed and
direction component of the motor.
The drive is located in the steel cabinet mounted on the machine chassis. As with
all electronic equipment, the drives are sensitive to excessive vibration, rough
treatment and high levels of dust. Much care and attention has been given by
SASE to ensure maximum protection is given to the drive.
When transporting, it is important to ensure the machinery is properly secured at
all times to eliminate “bouncing”. Ensure the chassis or frame section of the
machine is secured down at all times when in transit.
The machine should always be transported under cover limiting the expos
ure
to
natural elements – in particular rain and snow. The machine should not be lifted
by handle, motor, chassis or other parts.
Transportation of the machine is best done on a pallet/skid to which the machine
must be firmly secured. Do not attempt to slide the tines/forks from a fork lift
under grinding heads unless on a pallet/skid. Failure to do so can cause extreme
damage to grinding heads of machine and internal parts.
Speed
The grinding speed should start low and increase as the operator becomes more
comfortable with the application. Be sure that the RPM’s do not exceed 2000
when starting and stopping the drum rotation. The machine should be running
and the drum rotating before speed selection is fine tuned.
Check that the cord and extension cord are intact and in good
condition.
Never use the machine if the cord is damaged, hand it in to an
authorized service workshop for repair.
Do not use a rolled up extension cord.
Electrical cords must not exceed 200ft in length.
The machine should be connected to an earthed outlet socket.
Check that the mains voltage corresponds with that stated on the
rating plate on the machine.
Ensure the cord is behind you when you start to use the machine so
that the cord will not be damaged.
WARNING
-
HIGH VOLTAGE!
Inspection and/or maintenance
should be carried out with the
motor switched off and the
plug disconnected.
Safety Hazards
Before using the equipment, inspect electrical lines, and connections. Make sure
the machine is in good working order. Electrical shock from a split wire could be
fatal.
