Its very important to be aware of the position of the discharge table, keep always in mind the
movement of this component.
Fixation to the ground
After the alignment is made, all components must be properly fixed to the ground.

ATTENTION - discharge table opens and closes very often, keep area free of obstacles

POWER SUPPLY
Your machine is supplied with 380 V, 50 Hz
The supply lines are L1, L2, L3 + N + PE terminals (depending on the models)
When installing the machine make sure it is properly grounded for a better protection
of the operating personnel.
The connection to the electric net, MUST be performed by a certified electrician.

To check if the electric connection is properly made: Turn on the machine ON, (make sure
emergency switches are deactivated), go to manual mode on the digital control, and try to move any

hydraulic component. If no pressure is observed change the connections of L1 and L2 terminals on the
plug.

SECURITY
In order to prevent eventual damages on the machine or injuries on the operator, all equipments
have emergency buttons are placed on strategic points easily reachable by the operator.
During operation is forbidden to cross areas between equipments or go under them:
ORANGE DANGEROUS AREA

GREEN AREA TO PLACE CONTROLLER

NEVER try to make setup, adjustments or get close with machine running

Be sure to use all safety equipment when operating the machine

MAINTENANCE
For a High performance and durability of the machine, please respect the follow steps of maintenance
Two times per week (or every 20h of work), Clean and lubricate the moving elements of the machine.
Every month: Check the level of the hydraulic oil and see if there is leakage of oil on the hydraulic circuit;
Check the screws on the body of the machine.
Every year: (or every 1500h of work) change the hydraulic oil and filter.
Every two years: (or every 3000h of work) change bending chain
The access to all this elements is made by removing the lateral panels.
NOTE:
- LUBRIFICATING OIL- NUTO 46
- HYDRAULIC OIL- GALP HIDROLEP 46
- GREASE- ESSO TL
ATTENTION: all of the operations below indicated must be performed with the machine disconnected
from the power supply.

CLEANING
All parts of the machine should be carefully cleaned. Every week a deep cleaning should be made
preventing dust to get into the mechanisms: dust deteriorates these elements and therefore its
functioning.

ROLLER BEARINGS REPLACEMENT

Roller bearings are made to last a pre-set average time life of 10 000 hours of work: they should be
replaced every time this limit expires or when a defect is detected on its regular functioning.

ELECTRIC MAINTENANCE
Every six months, electric boards and switches of the engine should be carefully cleaned with a dry brush
or blown. All electric plugs should be checked and tightened firmly.
