Chapter 6, which contains service instructions intended for service engineers. Other chapters contain instructions for the daily operator. Any modifications of the machine must be approved by SHINI in order to avoid personal injury and damage to machine. We shall not be liable for any damage caused by unauthorized change of the machine.
Safety Regulations Follow the instructions in this manual to avoid personal injury and damage to machine components. 1.4.1 Safety Signs and Labels Electrical installation must only be done by a competent electrician! Before the granulator is opened for servicing and maintenance, always disconnect the power with both the main switch and the control switch on the granulator.
Page 16
Make sure the power has been cut off before opening the feed box. Loading blower is applicable to convey regrind and powder, and it requires that the temperature of regrind and powder should not be more than80℃. The loading blower has great suction power and it is easy to get things or clothes sucked into, so it should have a protective cover.
Notice Read the instruction manual carefully before operating. Before start, do the safety device test according to the instruction. It is not allowed to change the design of the machine unless it is approved from the manufacturer. This is to indicate motor rotating direction. When phase reversal happens, the alarm sounds and indicator on control panel will indicate.
