5.Installation

All instructions must be carried out in the order described, to prevent personal injury or damage to machinery.

Always take great care when handling the knives since they are very sharp and can cause personal injury.

The granulator should be connected to the mains supply by an authorised electrician.

5.1Pre-start checks

Before the granulator is installed, the rust preventive should be carefully cleaned from the parts which are not painted or rustproof.

Check the knife clearance and tightening torque on the attachment bolts for the knives.

5.1.1 Two hours after first start

Check the knife clearance again and tightening torque of the attachment screws for knives; check the attachment screws for both the fixed and rotating knives.

5.2Opening and closing the hopper and screenbox

Screenbox:

The screenbox is held in place by a spring-loaded hoisting mechanism, which is manoeuvred using the bar (4). Release the screenbox by moving the bar until it is horisontal.

1.Pull out the granule bin (3). A safety switch on the back of the granulator is then activated, which breaks the current to prevent the machine from being started with the screenbox open.

2.Loosen the socket-head nut at the top of the clamping ring (1). Turn the granulator, by using the motor as a lever, to the position shown in the figure opposite. Simultaneously put your weight against the motor so that the granulator does not turn freely and damage the blower motor.
