Inserting the string
When the machine leaves our premises, it includes a piece of string
completely threaded. Study the course of the string exactly to make
understanding the following description easier.
Proceed as follows in accordance with the threading diagram opposite:
Pull the mains plug and open the machine
hood
-Remove the wing nut (B) and the threaded rod (E).
-Insert the threaded rod (E) through the string bobbin (D) from above.
Place the string bobbin (D) together with the threaded rod (E) on the
bobbin holder (A). Guide the bottom end of the threaded rod (E)
through the drilled hole on the mandrel (C) and screw on and tighten
the wing nut (B). You must make sure that the string bobbin's
cardboard tube rests firmly on the mandrel (C) and that the net which
surrounds the string bobbin is securely clamped between the cardboard
tube and the mandrel (C).
-Feed the lead end of the string through the drilled hole (F).
-Insert the string in the thread brake (G). Make sure that the string
comes to rest between both pins (H) and the shaft of the hexagon
screw (I) (see figure).
-The next string guides are rollers. Thread the string in numerical order:
2
Roller on the take-up lever arm mount
3
First roller on the tying arm mount
4
First roller on the take-up lever arm
5
Second roller on the tying arm mount
6
Second roller on the take-up lever arm
7
Last roller on the tying arm mount
Guide the string through the insert (K) at the end of the tying arm tube.
Inserting the string in the knotting aggregate:
Use your left hand to wrap the string around the twine holder button
(L) upwards from below. Use the right hand to actuate the twine
holder button lifting lever in the direction of the arrow. Whilst you
hold the string tight with the left hand, the string enters between the
twine holder button (L) and the clamping head housing (P). The string is
clamped once you release the twine holder button lifting lever (M).
Use your right hand to push the knife trap lever (N) forwards in the
direction of the arrow; the string is cut off.
Close the machine hood, switch on the master switch. After the
reference run, the machine is ready for operation.
Check that the string rollers and the take-up lever move freely
and oil them as necessary.
Only use lubricants which are approved for the food sector
(see the chapter "Maintenance").
