10
national regulations in the user’s nation (within
Europe in conformity with IEC 364).
Make sure that the feed voltage/frequency
corresponds to the description on the machine
plate.
Tolerance of feed oscillation:
±
10% for nominal voltage
±
1% for nominal frequency
Beyond the above values, the machine could get
damaged. Therefore, in cases where the local
electricity supply could exceed the above limits, the
user must arrange at his own expense, to stabilize
the line voltage to the machine.
Carefully follow the instructions on the attached
wiring diagram (tav.02).
Installation of said protection is at the expense of
the user, who is responsible for correct installation.
Connection of the cable to the machine is carried
out as follows:
•
put the main switch (ref.5) on “O” position;
•
open the panel;
•
connect the wires of the feed cable to the
terminals U V W (do not use the yellow/green
wire for this connection);
•
the wire (yellow/green) must be connected to
the PE terminal of the machine.
The other end of the yellow/green wire of the cable
must be connected to the earthing system which
must be in conformity with national regulations in
the user’s country.
The main switch (ref.5) also acts as an
emergency stop; if necessary, turn the red handle
to the “O” position, thereby acting on the main
supply to the machine, which will be disconnected.
4.5 STEAM
CONNECTION
By means of a copper or steel pipe with 1/2”
diameter, connect the existing steam line to the
machine (ref.10).
For the correct functioning of the machine,
saturated (dry) steam is required at pressure
between 4 and 6 bar.
It is recommended that a mechanical filter and an
on-off valve be fitted at the machine steam inlet.
Also connect the condensate return drain
(ref.11) by means of a copper or steel pipe with
1/2” internal diameter to the existing
condensate return line.
Fit an automatic steam trap, a passage indicator
and an on-off valve.
4.6
COMPRESSED AIR CONNECTION
Connect the machine to the fitting (ref.15) with a
compressed air line with air intake of at least 20-40
ltrs per min.
It is recommended that a stop tap be fitted before
connection.
Remember that the topper works at 6 bar and
therefore check on the pressure gauge that
pressure is correct, otherwise adjust by means of
the reducer.

OPERATION OF THE MACHINE
5.1
INITIAL SET-UP OF THE MACHINE
The machine is supplied after each component has
been tested and pre-set and is ready for correct
functioning.
Before use, the following checks must be made:
•
that machine is intact following transport;
•
that protection casings are correctly fitted;
•
positioning of safety plate;
•
connection of electrical feed;
•
tightening of clamps on hydraulic systems;
•
motor rotation direction.
5.2 START-UP (Tav.01)
•
Open the tap fitted on the steam inlet and
check that the condensate drain tap is open.
•
Open the compressed air tap.
•
Switch on the main electric switch which feeds
the machine (ref.5).
•
Regulate the steaming, steam-air and air
times of the timers, respectively (ref.2-3-4).
•
Wait a few minutes so that the steam circulates
completely and then start the finishing operation.
•
Press the pedal (ref.12) and the topper bag
will position itself automatically and close so
that it is possible to fix the pants.
Then block the bottom of the pants legs using
the clamps provided (ref.14).
Start the finishing cycle by pressing the pedal
(ref.13).
First, the steaming phase takes place and
then the steam/air phase which expands the
pants follows, and finally the air phase which
dries the pants.
•
To remove the pants from the machine, press
the pedal again (ref.12).
The steaming and ventilation times just
described can also be manually controlled
and can last as long as required.
For manual operation, put the selector (ref.9)
on the manual position and then activate the
switches (ref.6 and 7) to carry out steaming
and ventilation respectively.
•
To interrupt the finishing cycle, press the button
(ref.8).
5.3
END OF DAILY OPERATION
At the end of the working day, remember to do the
following:
•
close feed from steam supply;
•
close feed from compressed air supply;
•
disconnect the machine by putting the main
switch (ref.5) on the “O” position.
