VACUUM PACKAGING MACHINES
1. SETTING
UP
THE MACHINE:
Before choosing the site
for
the machine, please consider that you will also need room
for
packaged and non-packaged products apart from the space needed
for
the
machine itself.
Keep in mind that the machine must not be set up upon uneven ground. Especially
with mobile models, the weight
of
the pump might then cause warping
of
the machine.
Then the lid will not fit correctly.
Before starting to work, check the oil view glass on the pump,
if
there is a sufficient
quantity
of
oil in the pump. Never use oil other than recommended by the producer.
Never exceed maximum quantity
of
oil indicated, when adding or changing oil. Verify
weekly.
Normal ambient temperature for the vacuum pump is between 10 to 70°C.
For
temperature below 10°
C;
it is recommended to use
sy
nthetic oil. Please consult factory
and pump manufacturer manual for more information or when ambient temperature
are outside normal limits.
2. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION:
Electrical connections must be made by qualified personnel. This person must make
sure that the electrical entries correspond to the proper voltage and amperage
of
the
machine. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS: This appliance must be grounded. In
the
event
of
malfunction
or
breakdown, grounding provides a path
of
least resistance
for
electric current to reduce the risk
of
electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a
cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance
wi
th all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER Improper connection
of
the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a
risk
of
electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is
green with
or
without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair
or
replacement
of
the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
conductor to a live terminal. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman
if
the
grounding instructions are not completely understood, or
if
in doubt as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance
if
it
will not fit the outlet; have a proper outlet installed
by
a qualified electrician.
All vacuum machines are supplied wi
th
an electrical schematic drawing.
An
important step in connecting the machine is to make sure that the pump turns in
its correct rotation.
The pump should not rotate more than 3
to
4 seconds in the wrong rotation
or
it
may cause serious damage. The proper rotation is indicated by an arrow on the
pump motor.
