5 Operation
Before starting work, check:
5
Are all the safety features present and fully functional (see chapter 2.4 on
page 12)?
5
Are all unit components tight? If required, tighten up these connections.
5
Is there enough lubricant in the fog oiler’s oil container (see chapter 6.3.1
on page 34)?
5
Is there enough release agent in the pump?
WARNING
If material pumps run dry, the generated friction heat can cause fire or an
explosion.
➤
Always make sure that the material drums do not run dry during opera-
tion.
➤
However, should this happen, stop the pump immediately and feed
material.
5.1 Put the unit into operation
Prerequisites:
➤
The unit must have been set up correctly and completely assembled.
➤
Do not start commissioning the unit unless you have the specified protec
-
tive equipment. For details, refer to chapter 2.5.4 on page 14.
➤
The material to be processed must be available in sufficient quantity. In ad
-
dition, you will need one suitable collecting vessel for excess material. This
container is not included in the scope of delivery.
Overview of the work sequence for commissioning:
1.
Perform pressure check
2.
Flush residues of the test medium (only during initial commissioning)
3.
Adjust the deicing system
4.
Prepare the material to be applied
5.
Fill the unit with material and bleed it
5.1.1 Performing pressure check
Check list before pressure check:
5
Have all compressed air shut-off valves been closed?
5
Have all air pressure regulators been regulated completely back?
5
Is the control levers of the ram in “Stop” position?
5
Is the spray gun locked?
1.
Open the compressed air shut-off valve on the air maintenance unit.
2.
Increase the air inlet pressure with the air pressure regulator for the pump
slowly to the maximum permissible value given on the type plate.
3.
Check that all parts of the machine are tight.
