GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
Introduction
This manual contains instructions and operating and
maintenance procedures for Somaca Glass Washing
Machines (herein called “Washer”). The machines
must always be operated and maintained in
accordance with the instructions and procedures
contained in this manual. Only qualified personnel
thoroughly familiar with the operating and
maintenance instructions should operate and maintain
this equipment.
Safe Operating Considerations
Safety must be observed through all facets of
operation and maintenance. Proper tools and
operating procedures must always be used to prevent
accidents that could cause injury to personnel or
damage to equipment. Safe, reliable operation and
long service are dependent on three important
considerations:
1.
Care exercised during installation
The most important single factor of installation is
the alignment and leveling of one to three
sections (large machine) that comprise the
Washer. These must be installed properly on a
solid floor to maintain critical alignments.
2.
Quality and frequency of inspection and
maintenance
Frequent inspection and recommended
lubrication procedures must be performed to
ensure safe and trouble-free operation and
machine longevity.
3.
Common sense approach to operation
The Washer is not necessarily a complex device
due to its functionality and the flexibility it
offers; however, there is no witchcraft involved
in its operation. Patience and time spent in
acquiring familiarity with the aspects of
operation will reveal most of its secrets. The
most important rule is:
DON’T TAKE CHANCES!
