2. CAUTION
This manual should be read before using the FlexFeed 20. Explanations to the pictograms:
"Warning against touching"/"Warning against dangerous part of the machine":
Warning against high voltage:
The mains switch and pneumatic stop button (E in fig. 1) is used for emergency stopping. The cover (S in Fig. 1) should be mounted when operating the FlexFeed 20. The FlexFeed 20 should not be connected to power or compressed air supply when it is
installed or adjusted. The FlexFeed 20 must be placed on a stable bed plate and in such a way, that it is not
exposed to great humidity, high temperatures or other abnormal operating-environments. It is not to be used in explosion hazardous environments.
It is prohibited to maintain or clean the FlexFeed 20, when it is connected to the power supply.

3. GENERAL INFORMATION.
3.1. Unpacking and inspection.
FlexFeed 20 is a rotary bottle handling system. Together with a PD12I/PF6 and a MC12 the units will make up a fully automatic filling
system. Please check that you have received the ordered goods and that they are not damaged
during transport. If so, please contact Flexicon or your supplier. If you should require any spare parts or accessories in the future, please state serial
number when giving your order. The serial number is stamped on a label located on the back of the machine. Please be aware that this machine must always be grounded via the power supply.

4. INSTALLATION.
4.1. Assembly of FlexFeed 20.
During transportation the FlexFeed 20, the inlet and outlet trays and the filling stand are dismantled and must therefore be re-attached to the FlexFeed 20 frame.
Remove the cover plate (S) Fig. 1 via the two black finger screws. Attach the inlet tray (T) Fig. 1 by Allen screws in the four holes in the frame. Attach the outlet tray (O) Fig. 1 by Allen screws in the four holes in the frame. Put the cover plate back in place.

Fig. 2
Attach the filling stand Fig. 2 to the large hole in the frame cover plate. The spacing bush must be positioned between the cover plate and the cheek, and the nut fixes the stand.
4.2. Installation of compressed air.
Fig. 3 Compressed air (5 - 7 bar) is connected to the input on FlexFeed 20 (3). All exhaust air from FlexFeed 20 is gathered and released via the filter (4) which can be
replaced by the supplied hose connection, so that all exhaust air can be expelled from the room. If using a dumping needle, the air supply for this can be taken from the outlet (D) in fig. 1.
