5 HINTS AND WARNING
5.1 WARNING
Please read the warning notices given in this section very carefully, because they provide important
information regarding safety in installation, use and maintenance of the mixer.
Keep this manual in a safe place, so that it will always be available for further consultation.
The mixer complies with EEC directives No.89/336 regarding “electromagnetic
compatibility” and No.73/23 regarding “low voltages”, as also the subsequent modification
No.93/68.
N.B.: The mixer has been constructed in accordance with best practice. Both its life and it electrical
and mechanical reliability will be enhanced if it is correctly used and subjected to regular
maintenance.
WARNING: any intervention or repair to the internal parts of the equipment must be carried out by
qualified and authorized personnel. The manufacturers decline all responsibility for the
consequences of failure to respect this rule.
GUARANTEE: 1 year. Improper use of the equipment invalidates the above guarantee. The
guarantee is ex factory or authorized distributors.
5.2 SHIPPING AND TRANSPORTING THE EQUIPMENT The mixer should always be moved in
a vertical (and never in a horizontal) position. No matter what the means of transport employed,
delivery of the mixer, even when free to the purchaser’s or the addressee’s domicile, is always at
the purchaser’s risk. Claims for any missing materials must be made within 10 (ten) days of arrival,
while claims for defective materials will be considered up to 30th (thirtieth) day following receipt.
Return of mixer or other materials to us or the authorized distributor must be agreed beforehand
with the responsible personnel.
5.3 PROPER USE OF THE EQUIPMENT The mixer should be used only for the purpose for
which it has been expressly designed. Any different use is to be considered improper and therefore
dangerous. In case of doubt, please contact our offices for further information about the
characteristics of the mixer and its proper use.
The manufacturers cannot be held responsible for damage deriving from improper, erroneous or
unreasonable use of the equipment.
5.4 GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS Upon receipt of the materials, make sure that no damage
has occurred during the shipment. Notify the forwarding agent or the supplier, agreeing upon the
actions to be taken. During the handling and transport up to the point of installation, use especially
good judgment in the choice of the hooking points for the hoisting; in particular with regard to the
specially covered shafts (with ebonite, riisan, rubber, etc.). Besides causing breakage of the
covering, each small deformation or impact can modify the alignment of the shaft with consequent
critical vibrations during the operation. Avoid hoisting the agitators from points of easy rupture
such as the terminal boards of the electric motors, hand wheels of adjustable speed motors, seal
flow piping, etc.
Possible slings must be passed under the gear box housing unit, and not under the motors. When
present, always use the hoisting eyebolts, initially checking the correct positioning and fastening.
