Set-up and commissioning
Mechanics
Erect the machine in the designated location and press the wheel locks
down so that the machine is stable (see page 14, fig. 2). In order to
transport the machine safely using a fork lift or lift truck, the foot pedal is
moved up into the machine frame before delivery.
See pages 15 and 16 for the procedure for installing the foot pedal.
Open the machine hood and check it to make sure it moves freely. Fig. A on
page 14 shows the machine hood open. Fig. B shows the machine hood
closed. When the machine hood is open, lug C engages with bolt D and thus
prevents the machine hood from falling uncontrolledly in case of a faulty
pneumatic pressure spring.
You must make sure at all times and check that lug C moves freely
and engages with bolt D after opening the machine hood.
When closing the machine hood the lug has to be pushed upwards in the
direction of arrow 1. The machine hood cannot be closed until you have
done so.
Never attempt to close the machine hood by force without
releasing the lug from the locking mechanism. This may
otherwise cause considerable machine damage.
Check that the M8 ball heads on the pneumatic pressure spring
are firmly in place and check that the securing wires on
the pneumatic pressure springs are properly in place (see page
14, Fig. 3).
Make sure that the wing nut which fastens the string bobbin on
the bobbin holder, is tightened sufficiently firmly (see page 14,
Fig. 4).
When closing the hood, make sure that the safety sensor is
positioned correctly to the actuator (4-5mm) (see page 14, Fig. 5).
