WARNING: A moving cylinder and goods can crush or sever body parts when a
person reaches in the door to load or unload.
Do not let the machine operate with a defective mechanical brake.
The disk or band brake holds the cylinder while the operator puts goods in, or removes goods
from the machine. Although the mechanical brake does not usually stop the cylinder during oper-
ation (the second note below tells more), it can do so if an unusual condition occurs. Examples
are when electrical power is removed and when a stop switch is pushed. To make sure the ma-
chine operates safely, do this test at the intervals given in the maintenance schedule:
1. If the machine contains goods, remove them.
2. Start a wash formula. Move forward in the sequence to a drain (see the first note below). You
must do the test when the cylinder turns at drain speed. Wash speed is too slow. Extract speed
will cause deterioration of the brake components that is not necessary.
3. Look at the cylinder through the door glass or site glass.
4. Push the Emergency Stop switch (
). Confirm that the cylinder stops in the time appropriate
for the type of machine:
