7 Initial start-up
Initial start-up can take place once installation is completed, and starts with an installation inspection
and thorough cleaning of the machine.
7.1 Installation inspection
The installation inspection should include a check on the following points:
• Are all pipes and cables properly wired and connected (no kinks, scuffs or uneven parts)?
• Check the oil level at the level glass of each connected vacuum pump. Make sure there is sufficient
oil and that the color of the oil has not altered. If necessary, refill or change oil. The process for refill-
ing or changing oil is described in the separate user manual of the pump manufacturer. This manual
can be found under the "Vacuum pump" index tab.
• Is the pressure gauge correct at the compressed air maintenance unit (section 11.2.1 "Compressed
air maintenance unit")?
• Are all the panels and covers fitted?
• Clean the Vacuum Packaging Machine thoroughly before starting up.
• Remove all adhesive tapes and remaining packaging.
• Clean the vacuum chamber with particular care and make sure that no foreign matter can enter
through the extraction vent.
NOTICE
Conventional neutral cleaning agents can be used for cleaning the Vacuum Packaging Machine.
