Carefully unpack the SORTIMAT (see chapter 4.4).
The sieve stack (incl. sieve cleaning device) are supplied separately by Pfeuffer GmbH. This is because of
the sensitivity of the support springs. Install the sieve pack as follows:
Unscrew the two hexagon nuts (8 mm) and grub screws (2.5 mm hexagon socket) on the carrier frame.
Remove the cable tie on the safety spring (locking unit).
Put on the sieve stack.
Make sure that the safety spring is installed in the correct position below the holding screw of the
sieve stack, see the following figure.
Safety instructions see chapter 2.1.3.
