The machine is transported on pallets which
also contain other machines - all boxed and
secured to the pallet with supports.

Prior to carrying out any transport or handling
operation, the operator must:

• put on work gloves and protective footwear,
as well as a set of overalls which must be
elasticated at the wrists and ankles.
The pallet must be transported using a sui­table means for lifting (e.g., forklift).

CAUTION

RISK OF IMPACT OR CRASHING

CAUTION

RISK OF IMPACT OR CRASHING

During all handling operations, the operator
must ensure that there are no persons,
objects or property in the handling area.
The pallet must be slowly raised to a height
of 30 cm (11,8 in) and moved to the loading
area. After first ensuring that there are no
persons, objects or property, loading opera­tions can be carried out.
Upon arrival at the destination and after
ensuring that there are no persons, objects
or property in the unloading area, the pro­per lifting equipment (e.g. forklift) should be
used to lower the pallet to the ground and
then to move it (at approx. 30 cm (11,8 in)
from ground level), to the storage area.

Before carrying out the following operation,
the load must be checked to ensure that it is
in the correct position and that, when the
supports are cut, it will not fall.
The operator, who must first put on work
gloves and protective footwear, will proceed
to cut the supports and to storing the pro­duct. To carry out this operation, the techni­cal characteristics of the product
must be consulted in order to know the
weight of the machine and to store it accor­dingly.

After unpacking, assess that the machine and
its accessories unit are complete, then proceed
as follows:

• place the machine so that it is level on a flat
surface;

• assemble its supporting feet by inserting
the insert into the cylindrical unit;

• twist the rubber foot into the screw thread
inside the unit;

• screw the whole assembled unit into the
allotted setting for the machine’s adjustable
feet;

• level the machine by regulating the adjusta­ble feet;

NOTE: the unit grooves have to face upwards,

as shown in the following illustration.

It is advisable to install a softener (1) and then
a mesh filter (2) on the external part of the
plumbing system, during preliminaries and after
levelling the machine.
In this way impurities like sand, particles of cal­cium, rust etc will not damage the delicate gra­phite surfaces and durability will be guaranteed.

NOTE: For a correct functioning of the machi-

ne the water works pressure must not
exceed 4 bars.
Otherwise install a pressure reducer
upstream of the softener; the internal
diameter of water entrance tube must
not be less than 6mm (
