7. INSTALATION
INCORRECT INSTALLATION OF THE MACHI-
NE MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO PEOPLE, ANI-
MALS OR OBJECTS. THE MANUFACTURER
CANNOT BE CONSIDERED RESPONSIBLE
FOR THESE DAMAGES.
7.1 TRANSPORT AND DISCHARGE
The equipment Aquaplastic is delivered packa-
ged. It must be transported and stored accor-
ding to the indications on the packaging.
Due to the low weight of the equipment Aqua-
plastic can be moved by two people without
using other means.
7.2 ARRANGEMENT OF THE LIGHTING
SYSTEM
The Client must make sure that there is suitable
lighting for the surroundings and that the lighting
conforms to the regulations in force. In particu-
lar, the Client must arrange the positioning of
lighting that illuminates all the working area.
7.3 ARRANGEMENT OF THE PNEUMATIC
SYSTEM
The Client must arrange a line of filtered com-
pressed air supplied by a compressor that is
suitable for the consumption required. Do not
use compressed air that contains chemical
products, synthetic oil with organic solvents,
salts or corrosive gases as they can cause
damage or malfunctioning.
The line of compressed air must arrive up to the
supply points of the machine. If the compressed
air contains a large amount of moisture, it may
cause malfunctioning in the valves and in the
pneumatic components. Install a moisture sepa-
rator downstream from the compressor to avoid
this.
7.4 CLASSIFICATION ACCORDING TO THE
ATEX DIRECTIVE
The machine conforms to the essential requisi-
tes of the EU Directive 2014/34/UE, better
known as ATEX (“Explosive atmospheres”). It is
classified as group II category 3 letter G system.
The assessment procedures of conformity,
carried out by an internal factory check, allow
the installation of the machine in surroundings
where there may be potentially explosive
atmospheres due to the presence of gas, fumes
or mist.
7.5 POSITIONING
The Aquaplastic Plus must be positioned in a
well-aired place.
The area must be equipped with all means
provided for by the European legislation related
with reference to the health and safety of the
workers in the work place environment.
Position the machine on the floor and make sure
that there is sufficient space around the machi-
ne to carry out normal maintenance operations
or inspections.
7.6 PUTTING INTO USE
The operations for connecting the machine to
the pneumatic mains supply and positioning the
pipes in the various drums are described below.
1. Connect the earthing cable (No.20) provided
with the machine and marked yellow/Green on
the cable lug to a screw on the machine Hood
(No.19), on the side of the free terminal to the
earth contact of electric system.
2. Make sure that the two ON/OFF machine and
ON/OFF Brush switches (No.17) are in the OFF
position (horizontal). Also check that the mixer
regulator knob is off (rotated fully anti-clockwise).
3. Connect the machine air connection (No.03)
to the line of compressed air (max. 7 bar).
4. Open the lower door of the machine.
5. Remove the filtrate tank (No.5/No.10) and the
lower collection tank (No.9) of the hollow base
of the washer.
6. Fill the collection basin (No.9) with water,
leaving an air space of approximately 5cm
between the water level and the bottom of the
filter basin, which is situated above.
7. Insert the aspirator tuve (No.11) supplied with
the suction filter in the lower reservoir or collec-
tion tank.
8. Make sure that the filter tank is positioned
firmly above the supports. Make sure that these
supports are firmly attached media collection
tank and provide stability to the filtrate tank,
which is above.
9. Check that the fabric filter support grid is
correctly positioned inside the filter tank. The
fabric filter must be fixed with the appropriate
filter-holding clips and positioned in such a way
that it adheres to the fabric filter support grid as
well as to the filter tank.
