START UP CHECK OUT
Voltage Check
Measure the voltage of the incoming power and confirm that it matches the
voltage on the placard on the inside of the control panel door
Air Bubbles / Water Level Control
The water level control system functions by pumping air from the control
panel into the bottom of the pulper tank. As the water level increases, the
pressure in this airline increases proportionally. The pressure switch
monitors this airline pressure and turns the fresh water fill valve on when
the water level is low. At start up, it is good practice to check the
inside of the tank to make sure that there is a flow of air bubbles into the
tank. The air enters the tank through the drainpipe before the drain valve.
The proper adjustment of the water level
control system must be made before the unit
can operate properly. The photo shows the
cutting mechanism of the Super 60. The
level indicated by the line, about 1 inch
above the cutting mechanism, is the level
to which the pulper should fill before
starting the unit. The pressure control
switch should be adjusted, such that, when
the pulper stops filling, the water level
is within one-quarter inch of this line.
The lid switches must be functioning and the lids closed for the water level system
to operate. If you cannot get the system to start filling refer to the lid switch
section for probable cause.
The photo shows the pressure switch
located in the control panel. The
adjusting screw on the pressure switch is
rotated counter-clockwise to raise the
water level set point, and vice versa.
One-quarter turn of this adjustment screw
will change the level set point by
approximately one inch. When the pulper
fills to the pre-set water level, the
green start push button will illuminate,
indicating that the pre fill level has
been reached and the pulper is ready.
