liquid type. The more viscous the liquid or smaller the fine, the longer it will take to extract the
fluid.

EMERGENCY OPERATION
If you hear strange noises coming from the machine while it is running
DO NOT TRY TO OPEN
THE MACHINE’S LID !!!!
This could lead to severe injury.
Either push the STOP button on the operating station or throw the disconnect on the machine’s
control panel to the OFF position. If the power is disconnected the machine will coast to a stop
(which could take up to 15 minutes).
OUT OF BALANCE SWITCH
(OPTIONAL ON SOME MODELS)
All model # 1100 and some # 400 machines are equipped with an out-of-balance switch.
These switches are located on the underside of the drum's floor. In the event of any severe
vibration the switch is activated. Immediately, the cycle in progress is terminated, and the
machine is braked to a complete stop. A flashing red light on the pushbutton station will
indicate that the cycle was terminated due to an out of balance condition. Pushing the
Stop
push button will reset the switch. The load should be checked for an out-of-balance condition
and corrected; then the load can be processed as usual within the machine.
45-GALLON CAPTURE TANK
(OPTIONAL)
Set Up
Remove the three-inch pipe nipple from the 90° elbow located at the rear of the Oil Extractor
(chip wringer). Slide the capture tank toward the Extractor until the inlet is positioned directly
under the outlet elbow. Slip the three-inch pipe nipple up through the tank inlet opening and
thread into the outlet elbow. Make sure that the basket is positioned directly under the
Extractor outlet.
Level the tank by shimming at anchor bolt holes to insure full and solid support. Bolt the tank
according to the type of floor, using through bolts or expansion shields.
