10.1 Maintenance e cleaning
Maintenance and cleaning procedures are essential to keep your machine in the best operating con-
ditions, to provide users with more safety measures and your machine with a longer life. Although the
above concept is certainly valid, the BSS-134 needs little and easy maintenance. Obviously main-
tenance operations should be carried out also at the end of the seasonal working cycle, after which
the machine remains stopped for rather long periods. And in case that residual deposits or dirtying
effects are more evident than average, time intervals need to be anticipated accordingly.
It is strictly forbidden to tamper, to remove and to amend the safety devices of the
machine. In such cases, the manufacturer declines every responsibility regarding the
safety of the machine.
Do not amend machine parts to adapt other devices unless previously authorised by
Sorma S.p.A.; in case of unauthorised amendments, Sorma S.p.A. will not consider itself
responsible of the consequences.
The activities described in this paragraph must be carried out only by qualifi ed staff, and
precisely:
1. Sorma S.p.A. Technician with the help of local labour,
2. Trained technician who has attended specialisation and training courses and with
experience with regard to installation, start-up and maintenance of the machine, and is
aware of the accident-prevention Standards.
Should a defect threaten the safety of the functioning, the machine must be immediately
stopped.
Only use Sorma S.p.A. spare parts that must be assembled by specialised staff.
Before performing any maintenance operation, lubricating parts, adjustments,
replacing spare parts or cleaning machine equipment, it is strictly necessary to:
1) disconnect your machine from the power supply using the main switch on the
front side of the electric panel (set it to [0]) and padlock the main switch (see fi g.1
chap.10). The main switch lock key should be exclusively given to a maintenance
operator (duly skilled, trained and authorised to service your machine). Afterwards
power cords and pneumatic air supply pipes should be disconnected.
2) bleed pressure from the pneumatic circuit by closing the inlet valve [C] (see fi g.1
DANGER OF BURNS
The sealing unit remains hot for approx. an hour
after the power is disconnected via the special
main switch at the front of the electrical panel.
By pressing the red mushroom button (STOP)
or when the doors open, the power supply is
disconnected, along with the pressure in the
pneumatic circuit, except for the reel stopping
cylinder to prevent the mesh reel from unwinding
in an uncontrolled manner. If it is necessary to
intervene on the reel stopping cylinder, deactivate
the pressure of the pneumatic circuit by acting
on the valve [C] (see fi g.1 chap.10).
