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 sui- table means for lifting (e.g., forklift). CAUTION

RISK OF IMPACT OR CRASHING

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 opera- tions 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 pro- per 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 pro- duct. To carry out this operation, the techni- cal characteristics of the product must be consulted in order to know the weight of the machine and to store it accordingly.

3. TRANSPORT AND HANDLING

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 adjusta- ble 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 cal- cium, rust etc will not damage the delicate gra- phite 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 (

Prior to connecting the machine to the electrical mains, assess that the voltage shown on the machine’s data plate corresponds with that of the mains. If it does not, carry out the connections on the basis of the available electrical line, as follows:

AND FILTER-HOLDERS Place two spoonfuls of special cleanser in half a litre of hot water and immerse filter and filter- holder (without its handle) in it leaving them to soak for at least half an hour. Then rinse abun- dantly with running water.

REGENERATION To avoid scaling deposits in the boiler and in the heating exchangers, the softener must always be kept efficient. Therefore, the ionic resins must be regularly regenerated. Regeneration times are established according to the quantity of coffee delivered daily and the hardness of the water utilised. As an indication, regeneration times can be calculated on the basis diagram illustrated in Fig. 31. Fig. 31 Regeneration procedures are as follows:

1) Turn the machine off and place a container

large enough to contain at least 5 litres under tube E (Fig. 32). Turn levers C and D from left to right; take the cap off by unscrewing knob and fill with 1 Kg normal kitchen salt (Fig. 33). Fig. 32

2) Put the cap back on and reposition lever C

moving it towards the left (Fig. 34) and allo- wing tube F to discharge the salty water until it has been eliminated and the water beco- mes fresh again (about half and hour). Fig. 33Fig. 34

3) Reposition lever D towards the left (Fig. 35).

INDICATIONS CAUSE EFFECT If the doser doesn’t send out its set commands within the first three seconds from delivery onset. If the delivery isn’t manually halted, the maximum time limit (120 sec) will be blocked. SOLUTION NOTES Interrupt delivery. Drawing of continued key flas hing and delivery key lit.
