Installation Transportation and placement The machine must be moved or transported in an upright position. The machine may not be tilted as this can cause damage to the pump. Place the machine on a flat, level surface. This is essential for problem free operation of the machine.
Connecting the gas flush system (if applicable) Connect the hose from the gas bottle to the hose coupling on the rear side of the machine and secure it with a hose clamp. The diameter of the hose nipple connector for the gas bottle is 6 mm. ...
Starting the machine for the 1 time 1. Check if there is enough oil in the machine. If not, please fill oil. Oil is delivered in a separate bottle. 2. Press the on/off switch. 3. Select the desired program. 4. Put the product in the vacuum bag and place it in the machine with the opening of the bag over the seal bar.
Machine functions Function description Pictogram What does it mean? Vacuum During the cycle, air will be removed from the chamber until Vacuum + the set value has been reached. This value can be set in %, mbar or hPa. This is the percentage or value of the pressure in the vacuum chamber related to the normal outside atmosphere of 1 bar (0%).

weight, spatter out of the vacuum bag, polluting the seal, chamber and the oil in the pump. The Quick Stop H2O sensor control comes standard with the H2O PLUS option. This is extra time that the vacuuming process continues after reaching the moment evaporation. Red Meat This function is especially designed for the packaging of fresh meat.

External With this function it is possible to vacuum special food Vacuum containers outside the machine. The vacuum value can be set in %, mbar or hPa. This is the percentage or value of the pressure in the food container related to the normal outside atmosphere of 1 bar.
Guideline for function values For each function, values can be set when you are authorized as an Owner. In order to understand the consequence of the set value, the table below explains the consequences of giving a low or high value for each function. Function Range Guideline...

2-700 mbar If the pressure decreases, the boiling temperature of water decreases. This law of physics might cause a product to boil. Besides polluting the machine this creates a weight and quality loss to the product that is being packed. By enabling the O function, this special sensor will detect this point of evaporation and arranges the program to continue from vacuuming to...

To place a roll of labels in the machine. Pull the green levers on the side forwards and open the lid. Remove at least two labels from the backing foil. Push the roll carriers outside and place the roll between them. Then pull the dispenser down to create an opening.
Connecting and operating external vacuum Connect the external vacuum hose connector to the vacuum/ventilation nozzle of the machine as shown. Connect the other side of the external vacuum hose to the container that needs to be vacuumed. Make sure this container is capable of resisting and holding a vacuum. ...
Import / Export Menu Exporting Data The settings, service data, programs and labels can be exported through the USB connector. The files will be written on a USB-key in .txt format and can be read with a standard Windows PC. Only an authorization as ‘Owner’ or ‘Distributor’ allows access to this possibility. Importing Data Via the USB port, programs and labels can be imported from a USB-key.
Importing the created data Use an empty USB-stick and copy the .txt files (label… and prog..) of C:/SoftwareLX on the USB Stick. Put the USB- key into the port on the machine. In the “Menu”, select “Import/Export data” and go to “Import data”. When you confirm, the existing programs and labels will be overwritten by the data that have been programmed on the PC.
Maintenance A regular and complete maintenance is required for a long lifespan of the machine, to avoid malfunctioning and to achieve an optimal packaging result. If the machine is used intensively, it is recommended to professionally service it every 6 months. For normal use of the machine, complete servicing once a year should be sufficient (depending on location, environment and products).
Page 29
Time scale Activity Clean the vacuum chamber, lid, and housing after use with a soft damp cloth. Daily Make sure that no cleaning agents containing solvents are used. Make sure that no high pressure water cleaner is used. ...
Important before maintenance If the machine is not functioning properly or if it produces strange noises, turn it off immediately with the On/Off switch and contact the supplier. If the machine is equipped with a gas flush system, always close the main valve at the bottle during standard maintenance activities.
drain plug can be removed. While unscrewing hot oil fumes can escape. When the oil has drained, tilt the machine slightly so that all residual oil can drain off. After draining, mount the oil drain plug. Filling up oil After draining or when the oil level is low, oil needs to be filled up. The oil fill plug must be removed.
Lynx 42 1. Oil fill plug 2. Oil inspection window 3. Oil drain plug Oil types and amounts It is important to use the correct type and quantity of oil for the pump. The wrong type or too much oil could damage the pump. The ambient temperature where the machine is operated is also important for the type of oil.
Changing the oil exhaust filter The oil exhaust filter in the pump absorb and filter oil vapours. The filter should be replaced after 12 to 18 months. When the filters are saturated it is no longer possible to achieve maximum vacuum. Filter housing types Remove the rear cover of the machine to access the filter.
Page 34
Lynx 42 To create access for the filter to be removed, the gas spring bracket needs to be disassembled as shown.
Place a new filter and screw it tight. Please note that an O-ring should be placed at the exhaust filter inlet. Replace filter 16 m3/h – Lynx 42 Unscrew the oil exhaust filter cover and remove the filter by removing the spring plate from the housing.
Replacing the sealing wire Remove the seal bar from the machine by lifting it vertically up (1) Remove the Teflon tape from the seal bar (2) Remove the screws at the bottom of the sealing bar in order to remove the wires (3) ...
Replace the rubber in the silicone holder The silicone holder must be inspected weekly for irregularities on the silicone rubber (mainly caused by burning by the sealing wire). If irregularities appear then the silicone rubber must be replaced. Remove the old silicone rubber from the holder. ...
Replace the lid gasket The lid gasket ensures that the vacuum chamber is completely closed during the machine cycle. This is essential for achieving a maximum vacuum. The lid gasket wears due to the extreme pressure differences and must be replaced regularly. Inspect the lid gasket weekly for tears or damage.
Troubleshooting Error Messages The message “Please check cover!” will appear on the screen when the lid is not closed properly. Wait until the message disappears and re-start the cycle again by closing the lid firmly. Problem solving Control panel is not ...
