The power and compressed air supply cables should be brought close to the machine
with appropriate sheaths or channels, not to cause any obstacle for the operators and
to properly protect them at the same time.
6.4 Connection to the compressed air system
Make the connection of the compressed air system [B] (see g.3 chap.6) to the lter unit.
Check with the pressure gauge [C] (see g.3 chap.6) that the pressure is equal to 6,5 bar.
If pressure needs to be adjusted because it is lower or higher than 6,5 bar, move the knob [D] (see
g.3 chap.6) upwards and rotate it clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease the pressure
in the machines pneumatic circuit.
It is important to periodically check the efciency of the lter.
A malfunctioning of this part is the cause for a probable damage of the electric valves and of the
pneumatic cylinders.
6.4.1 Tracks pressure adjustment
The pressure of dragging tracks must be about 3 bars. If it is lower or higher it is necessary to lift up
the knob [E] (see g.3 chap.6) and to rotate it clockwise or counter clockwise in order to increase or
decrease the pressure.
To display the real pressure, it is necessary to move the knob, [G] (see g.3 chap.6) the valve by hand
(after having adjusted the pressure it is necessary to move the valve and to check again).

Check belts
The belts and the chains must be periodically checked. Check tensioning and wear.
Remember that for every transporter a belt is present which transmits the motion from the gearmotor
to the conveyor belt.
To adjust the tension of the transmission belt the fastening screws of the gearmotor must be loosened,
so that the same can move using the appropriate adjustment slots. The adjustment of the belt of the
gearmotor must be such to allow the exion of the same belt at a maximum of three millimetres in
the central area.
Cleaning of frame
Clean the doors and frame using a cloth slightly damp with clean water.

Inspect photocells
WARNINGS: the intervention frequency very much depends on the environment in which the machine
works; if particular dirty or dusty, frequency must be increased.
This system requires an alignment of the two photocell and reector devices and, therefore, when
these are not aligned or when a body is present between the two that cannot be crossed by the ray,
the photocell is engaged meaning the signal is different from that supplied by the same when it is
functioning and without product transitions.
It is therefore necessary to carefully adjust the position of the photocells and regularly clean the
surface interested by the signal using a dry cloth.
To dismantle the photocell and the reector, loosen the fastening screws of the clamps.
The position of the photocell is determined in function of the system and product
features. To amend its original position can jeopardise the correct functioning of
the entire system.
General cleaning of the electric control board
1) Remove using compressed air and clean with a dry cloth any residue on the controls panel of the
electric control board.
2) Remove any dust residue from inside the electric control board using compressed air.

Insert the two pins of the joint handle in the two free holes of the two opposite internal handles.
Assemble the external plate of the joint handle and x it using the relative clip.
After having assembled the clip, slightly strike the pins of the joint handle using a hammer, so that
the clip perfectly adheres against the plate of the joint handle.
The following results are obtained with this operation:
1. The re-balancing of the clearances between external and internal plates is assured, enabling the
lubricant to enter between the two plates.
2. A correct assembly of the joint handle assures a good functioning of the chain, reducing the
possibility of jig.
3. Maximum duration of the clip is assured.
If possible, it is best to avoid the use of the false handle.

Pinions
The pinions are the toothed wheels on which the chains rotate, transmitting the movement. The life-span
of a pinion is limited, it is therefore some times necessary to replace it. A pinion can be idle or motor.
For the extraction of a pinion, the following must be taken into consideration:
Motor Pinions
Dismantle the stop device (Seeger, or head screw, etc.) and remove the pinion.
Idle Pinions
Dismantle the supports xing the shaft, by loosening the pins (built-in hexagon head-less screw).
Loosen the pins of the locking ring that hold the pinion on the shaft.
Lubrication
Before starting lubrications, accurately clean the greaser. The grease must be introduced with pressure,
making the bearing rotate and continuing until the fresh grease leaks from the same bearing.
Avoid excessive pressure so as not to damage the seal gaskets.
The lubrication intervals depend on the working conditions and signicantly differ.
We recommend greasing at least every two weeks during the working seasons.
Assembly instructions
The shaft must be perfectly cylindrical, clean, with the ends rounded off to facilitate introduction in
the bearings hole. Never use the hammer as it may damage the bearing.
When assembly on the shaft is complete, make the shaft turn to verify its free and correct rotation.
When installing a support, the relative bearing must not be locked on the shaft until the body is securely
fastened to the machine. In this way, the bearing can assume its correct position on the same shaft
without damaging stresses arising.

Ball Bearings
All ball bearings assembled on the machine are equipped with protection against dust and humidity
which also prevents the leaking of the grease.
Check their efciency and, in particular, that functioning is regular and silent.

N.B. = If the Teon coat has worn away by more than 50% on the COGS [A], it is
recommended to restore the Teon coat on the sealing pliers.
4) Wipe the slide guides of the sealing pliers [F] and the whole sealing pliers area with a damp sponge.
5) At completion of the cleaning operations, the parts must be dried and reassembled with the utmost
