INSTALLATION
Please refer to contract arrangement and site instructions as applicable.
It is recommended that a concrete foundation (to take foundation bolts – not
supplied) of at least 0.6m
2
by 0.3m thick to take M20 bolts should be provided
for each leg of the support structure and runway when fitted. When the machine
is supplied without a support structure it should be mounted on supports of
sufficient strength and rigidity to prevent undue vibration when the machine is
working. When making provision for a loading hopper pit it is strongly
recommended that the pit is concreted out so that it can easily be kept clean and
free from any build up which could prevent the bottom limit switch from
operating correctly.
Before completing the installation, check that the main mixer frame is level
with a spirit level. Packings should be inserted as required under the structure
legs or main frame. The packings under the mixing pan roller brackets are set
during manufacturing and must not be disturbed under any circumstances.
Check that the pan is seated and that the pan rack and drive gear are in mesh..
Also check that all the blade clearances are in line with the maintenance
instructions.
On connecting to the power supply, the wiring diagram must be referred to.
A check that the wiring is correct is the rotation of the following:-
•
The mixing pan and mixing star rotate anti-clockwise when looking from
the top.
•
The loader winch rotates anti-clockwise looking from the rope drum end
when the raise button is pressed.
•
The whirler unit rotates clockwise when looking from the top.
It is advisable to mount the starters away from the machine on supports free
from vibration. Ensure that the starters are fitted with suitable overloads – see
technical specification – power units.
Note:- it is recommended that the
mains electrical supply is taken via an earth leakage circuit breaker.
A simple Water Flow Meter is available as an option to the water tank, this has
a range of 0-100 litres and features an adjustable flow indicator with a reset
facility allowing very accurate measurement of water flow irrespective of the
pressure. The Flow Meter is normally fitted with a manual ‘on/off’ valve and is
protected by a washable in line strainer.
