3 Safety Any persons working in the close vicinity of the machine must not wear loose-fitting clothing as this will be hazardous. 3.1 Pictograms Two types of pictograms are positioned on the machine. Warnings and instructions. Warnings HAZARD - ROTATING PARTS. Avoid touching or coming into contact with the machine's moving parts.
4.1 Feed belt The feed belt transports the products from the feed hopper up to the buffer tank above the vibration chutes. The buffer tank has two sensors that activate and deactivate the feed belt. To achieve optimal operation, it is important that the feed hopper is always filled with products.
4.3 Weighing tank The weighing tanks' volume capacity is 57 l. The weighing tank must be checked regularly and if required, cleaned of any soil that has accumulated. During operation, the weighing tank must not be touched otherwise the weighing result will not be correct.
4.4 Cross conveyor The cross conveyor allows the machine to be operated by two people at the same time. Operation sensor Outlet hopper Handle for stabiliser leg Sack platform When the operating sensor is activated on a specific side, the cross conveyor will transport the next portion to that side.
4.5 Sack platform When the height of the sack platform shall be changed, loosen the two finger screws on the platform and raised/lower the platform and then re-tighten the finger screws. When weighing portions that weigh more than 10 kg, lower the stabiliser leg at the sack platform until it supports on the level surface.
5.3 Start-up 1. Enter the desired portion size and total number of portions that are to be weighed using the operating panel. 2. Next, select the programme that is to be used (potatoes, carrots, onions or optional). 3. Press the "Start" button on the display. 4.

Weight Speed Weigher opening speed Weight settings Tolerance interval in grams, see explanation Controller parameter Back to previous menu Offset 25 kg: When a double portion is made (over 25 kg), Offset 25 kg must be between 1500 and 3500 g to stop around the 25 kg. This is necessary to compensate for the run-on time and prevent the weighing tank from becoming over filled with the first portion.

Product specific parameters Filling setpoint is controlled by the slider on the main page Time guess_a is a value used for portions up to 10kg. Lighter products = higher value. Cross conveyor Aut. or manual outfeed mode. Manual = sensor The speed of the Aut.
6.5 Manual operation settings During manual operation, all of the functions can be set and the machine operated. NB: In manual operation mode, all of the alarms and sensors are de-activated. Language Five languages are available. English German ...
6.6 Emptying the machine If the machine is to be completely emptied, continue to weigh portions without filling the intake hopper with any products. Once the vibration chutes have operated for a longer period than normal, press Stop. Next, empty the weighing tank and the cross conveyor by accessing the manual settings and press to empty.

bottom nut. The same procedure is used to adjust the belt to operate in the centre. However, the tightening must only be done in the side the belt moves to. At all times it is the responsibility of the owner to ensure the belts have been adjusted correctly.
7.4 Vibration chutes All bolts and vibration chutes should be re-tightened every 200 hours of operation. To access the bolts, remove the screen marked in blue. The bolts are marked in blue, and should be tighten to 18 Nm.
7.5 Cleaning In the case of high-pressure cleaning, direct spraying must be avoided in the following areas: loose drum, gear motors, control cabinet, electronic control box, load cell, connectors and motors on vibrators. If products with loose skin are being weighed, the vibrator chutes should be cleaned on a daily basis.
8 Transport If the machine shall be lifted by crane, this must be done using the integrated lifting points in the top of the machine. If the machine shall be moved by forklift truck, this must be done using the integrated fork pockets. NB: Always stay well clear of suspended loads.
9 Troubleshooting NB: The machine must ALWAYS be switched off at the main switch when work on mechanical parts shall be carried out. 9.1 Fault described in display. Alarm text Cause Solution Shutter in weighing tank Sensor is not adjusted Adjust the sensor closer to taking too long to close.
