Inserting the string ( F take-up lever )
When the machine leaves our premises, it includes a piece of string
completely threaded. Study the course of the string exactly to make
understanding the following description easier. Proceed as follows in
accordance with the threading diagram opposite:
-Remove the wing nut (B) and the threaded rod (E).
-Insert the threaded rod (E) through the string bobbin (D)
from above.
Place the string bobbin (D) together with the threaded rod (E)
on the bobbin holder (A). Guide the bottom end of the
threaded rod (E) through the drilled hole on the mandrel (C)
and screw on and tighten the wing nut (B). You must make
sure that the string bobbin's cardboard tube rests firmly on
the mandrel (C) and that the net which surrounds the string
bobbin is securely clamped between the cardboard tube and
the mandrel (C).
-Feed the lead end of the string through the drilled hole (F).
-Insert the string in the thread brake (G). Make sure that the
string comes to rest between both pins (H) and the shaft of
the hexagon screw (I) (see figure).
-The next string guides are rollers. Thread the string in
numerical order:
L1 - K2 - L3 - K4 - L5 - K6 - L7 – M
Guide the string through the insert (N) at the end of the tying
arm tube. Inserting the string in the knotting aggregate:
Use your left hand to wrap the string around the twine holder
button (O) upwards from below. Use the right hand to
actuate the twine holder button lifting lever (P) in the
direction of the arrow. Whilst you hold the string tight with
the left hand, the string enters between the twine holder
button (O) and the twine holder button housing (R). The
string is clamped once you release the twine holder button
lifting lever (P). Use your right hand to push the knife trap
lever (S) forwards in the direction of the arrow; the string is
cut off. Close the machine hood, switch on the master
switch. After the reference run, the machine is ready for
operation.
Check that the string rollers and the take-up lever move freely
and oil them as necessary.
Only use lubricants which are approved for
the food sector (see the chapter
"Maintenance").
