4. Preparing the machine for use
Place the machine on a flat, firm surface. Lower the four support Legs so that the machine stands
stable.
The control panel is placed under the machine during transportation to protect it from impact. The
control panel is mounted on the side of the machine using 4 screws.
The machine must NOT be used before the safety tunnels are mounted. The safety tunnels are placed
under the machine during transport to protect them. Mount the tunnels at each end of the machine,
using 4 screws on each tunnel.
Mount the safety guard in the
inlet.
Screw the adapter for the filter bag (item 519) onto the outlet pipe and hang the filter bag (item 517) on
it. Put the bucket with paint/fluid underneath the filter bag. Remember to stir the fluid. Place the suction
and excess pressure hose (items 587 and 585) in the bucket.
Connect the machine to the power source as prescribed.
The machine is attached to the power station following the local regulations. If it turns out to be
necessary changing the plug, the directions from the supplier must be followed. This job is only to be
done by a competent electrical specialist.
Emergency stop
Normally the machine is operated by a person on each end. The machine can be stopped by activating
the emergency stops, which are placed by the operator on both ends.
When an emergency stop is activated the forward drive is stopped. The pump continues pumping.
After activating the emergency stop, the machine can only be restarted by unlocking the emergency stop
and activating the start button again. NB: Before starting the machine again be sure that the incident has
come to an end, and that the reason for activating the emergency stop is known.
Stop
During normal use the machine is stopped by the buttons “Pump and “Forward drive” put in stop
position.
When the machine is stopped in order to be moved, repaired e.g. the main switch on the control panel
must be turned to position “0”. (Power is off.)

English version 9/21
5. Adjusting the machine
The main switch on the control panel must be in position "O". (The machine is disconnected
from all power.)
NB: Use rubber gloves and goggles during the process. Check product information from
the supplier of the used paint for further requirements regarding protection equipment.
1. The lid on the machine is opened
Make sure it is in locked position.
Set the feeder guide, guide, nozzles, back pressure roller and brushes to the outer position. Feed the
item into the machine.
2. Feeder guide and the guide in the middle of the machine
The feeder guides (item L) guides the item sideways and the roller in front of the machine guides the
item horizontally. Adjust the guides by loosening the wing screws and moving them towards the item.
There must be a 2-3 mm gap on both sides.
3. Guides and back pressure roller
The guides (item M) guide the item sideways through the machine. Adjust the guides by loosening the
wing screws and moving them toward the item. There must be a 2-3 mm gap on both sides.
The back pressure rollers (item 594) prevent the lower horizontal brushes lifting thin items (up to 20 mm)
up. Adjust the rollers by loosening the wing screws and moving them towards the item. There must be a
2-3 mm gap between the item and the rollers.
Set the brush covers at 10-12 mm from the item.
4. Nozzles
Place the nozzles (item 645) approx. 50 mm from the item.
5. Brushes and screens/shields
Rotating brushes apply fluids evenly and brush off excess fluid.
The brushes are identical and made from hard-wearing nylon.
The brushes are mounted and removed by screwing off a single star handle.
The brushes can be set tightly or loosely against the item, depending on treatment and the shape of the
item.
Adjust the horizontal brushes by putting the lever (item 595) into the square pipe on the brushes module.
Adjust the vertical brushes by putting the square pipe, and the lever (item 595) as handle, over the
square pipe on the brushes module.

English version 10/21
The screens stop spray coming from the brushes and dripping from the finished surface. They must
therefore always be in place before starting the machine.
Adjust the screens so that there is approx. 10 mm gap between the item and the front edge.
6. Forward drive
The forward drive propels the item through the machine. Adjust the back pressure roller (item 450) by
turning the spindle (item 455) using the handle placed at the front by the nozzle valves (item 455)
Turning clockwise: the back pressure roller is moved upwards
Turning anti-clockwise: the back pressure roller is moved downwards
Bring the back pressure roller into contact with the item and tighten up approx. 1 turn, depending on how
hard the item is.
7. Test run and flow rate
1) Pull the item out.
Check that the bucket containing wood protection is underneath the outlet pipe, and that the suction and
excess pressure hose are placed in the bucket. Close the lid on forward drive and brushes.
Position the main switch on the control panel to "I" (power is connected). Activate the button "PUMPS"
and the pumps will begin to pump. Spraying may occur
Ensure that all valves are closed. Adjust the nozzles to the desired position. Adjust the fluid amount
using the nozzle valves.
Always open the upper nozzle first. The machine can treat 1-2-3 or 4 sides of the item at the same time.
Only open fluid nozzles for those sides that are to be treated. Opening the vertical nozzles is only
necessary if the item is more than 20mm high or if there is a groove or similar that needs treating.
2) Activate the "FORWARD DRIVE" button and adjust the forward drive to the desired speed with the
adjusting knob.
3) Activate the "BRUSHES" button and adjust the speed of the brushes to the desired brush speed with
the adjusting knob.
Feed the item into the inlet and check that the forward drive is running evenly.
If forward drive is not running evenly, adjust the back pressure roller.
The item can stop moving if it hits the feeder guide, guide, nozzles or brushes. In that case they should
be re-adjusted.
The flow rate and brushes are continuously variable and are adjusted with the adjusting knob on the
power box.
Turning clockwise: Slower speed
Turning anti-clockwise: Faster speed
Test drive with a new item
Operation is hereafter normal, but should be continuously checked.
