MEASURES
Check that the plug is securely fitted into the power supply socket, or that
the isolating switch is closed . Press the starter button (2:B). Fit the feed
cylinder (1:E/1:F) and a feed attachment (1:A/1:B/1:C/1:D). Turn the feed
attachment locking knob (7:D/8:D) anti-clockwise to the locked position.
Move the push feed attachment feed plate (6:A) to the centre of the feed
cylinder. Check that all components are correctly fitted and that the safety
arm (2:F) is raised. Check that the fuses in the fuse box for the premises
have not blown, and that they have the correct rating. Wait for a few min-
utes and try to restart the machine. If the machine still fails to run, call a
specialist.
Make sure that you are using the correct cutting tool or combination of cut-
ting tools (3). Fit the decoring device (4:G), locking bolt (4:F) or agitator
device (4:E). Make sure that the speed controls for the machine (10:L) and
the pneumatic push feed attachment (10:M) are in the right position in ac-
cordance with the table under the heading setting the speed controls, and
that the reading on the pressure gauge (10:F) is about 4 bar. Check that the
pneumatc push feed attachment feed piston (10:I) is set to the right speed.
Position ¨1¨ - about 12 seconds/piston cycle, position ¨2¨ - about 8 seconds/
piston cycle, and position ¨3¨ - about 4 seconds/piston cycle. If necessary
the speed should be adjusted by a specialist. Check that the knives and
shredder plates are in good condition and are sharp. Press the food down
loosely.
Always use the ejector plate (4:A). Use a thick leather glove or the like that
the knives of the cutting tool cannot cut through, and turn the cutting tool
clockwise to release it.
Use a spanner (4:H) to unscrew it.
