Set-up and commissioning
Erect the machine in the designated location and press the wheel locks
down so that the machine is stable.
To avoid collisions with other machines and to ensure operating
and maintenance staff have sufficient access, there must be
minimum of 1.5 metres of clearance around the entire machine.
If not otherwise stipulated, the machine is designed for 230 V 1-phase
alternating current 50/60 Hz when supplied from the factory. Measure
the local mains voltage and compare the measurement with the value
specified on the type plate.
Check that the machine is correctly grounded. Adhere to the local
electrical engineering regulations. Maximum fuse protection 16
amperes. Connect the machine to the supply mains using a plug
connector. Switch on the master switch. The indicator lamp lights
up.
Checking the motor's rotary direction
The machine is fitted with a device to monitor the direction of rotation
(phase sequence relay).
Using the mains plug, connect the machine to the electricity mains. Turn
on main switch. After c. 5 seconds the control light glows solidly, thus
signalising that the direction of rotation is correct. The machine is ready for
use.
If the control light does not come on, the phase sequence is wrong. The
monitoring device cuts off the supply of electricity. For the correct direction
of rotation you need to switch two phase lines inside the mains plug.
Tying material
The knotting mechanism is designed for a maximum material thickness of
900 linear metres per kilogram (ELA-900). It is recommended that during
the warranty period you purchase the material from the machine
manufacturer. This avoids any potential loss of your right to make a
warranty claim that incorrect material use may cause.
