4. Preparing the machine for use
4.1 Generally
Place the machine on a flat, firm surface. Lower the four support legs so that the machine stands stable.
The control panel can during transport have been placed under the machine to protect it from impact.
The control panel is mounted on the side of the machine before it is taking into use, using 4 screws.
Screw the adapter for the filter bag (item 9011-20519) onto the outlet pipe and hang the filter bag (item
9011-20517) 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 9011-20587 and 90-20585) 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.
4.2 Emergency stop
Normally a person on each end operates the machine.
It is possible to operate with only 1 person. If that is the case, insert only max. 10 shingles, before
emptying the tray, which is installed at the machines end.
Activating the emergency stops, which are placed by the operator on both ends, can stop the machine.
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.
4.3 Stop
During normal use the buttons ”Pump and ”Forward drive” put in stop position stops the machine.
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.)

9/27
5. Adjusting the machine
Before any adjustment of the machine, the main switch on the control panel must be in position
"O". (The machine is disconnected from all power.)
During the work, the operator must use rubber gloves and eye protection. Check also product
sheet / safety data sheets for claims for other protective equipment.
5.1 Overall
Open the lid on the machine.
Set the nozzles, back pressure roller and brushes to the outer position. Feed the item into the machine.
NB: The machines forward drive can not be activated, as long as the lid is open.
5.2 Back pressure roller
The back pressure rollers prevent the lower horizontal brushes lifting thin items, likewise they ensure
that the item is lead forward in the machine, and not ”drifting” on the forward drive rollers. Adjust the
rollers by loosening the wing screws and moving them towards the item. When the machine is empty of
items, the back pressure rollers and the forward drive rollers shall be just above each other, but with out
touching.
5.3 Feeding with items
As previously described the machine is specially designed for the treatment of the wedge-shaped
shingles with the previous mentioned maximum and minimum dimensions. The items are always
brought into the machine with the thin end first. If this is not respected, there is a risk that the
backpressure rollers will prevent the items to run through the machine. This will lead to an accumulation
of items in the machine, with the risk of operation stop.
5.4 Nozzles
Place the nozzles (item 9011-20645) approx. 20 mm from the item. Advantageously the nozzles can be
placed, so they will point forward. This means that the item also gets treated at the end.
5.5 Brushes and screen/shield
Rotating brushes apply fluids evenly and brush off excess fluid.
The brushes are identical and made from organic horsehair.
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 included pole into the square pipe on the brushes module.
The screen will stop spray coming from the brushes and dripping on to the finished surface. It must
therefore always be in placed before starting the machine.
Adjust the screens so that there is approx. 10 mm gap between the item and the front edge.

10/27
5.6 Forward drive
The forward drive propels the item through the machine. The backpressure rollers ensures that the item
don’t ”drift” on the 4 forward drive rollers. The pressure on the backpressure rollers is spring-loaded. The
height on these rollers can be adjusted by loosen the star handle and moove the backpressure roller
and the frame up or down.
5.7 Test run and flow rate
1. Pull the item out.
Close the lid.
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 "PUMP"
and the pumps will begin to pump. Spraying may occur.
Ensure that all valves (pos. 9011-20593) are closed. Adjust the nozzles to the desired position. Adjust
the fluid amount using the nozzle valves.
Be aware of not to apply to much wood treatment, as this can lead to dripping finished items and/or
”runners” on the items.
Always open the upper nozzle first. The machine can treat 1 or 2 sides of the item at the same time.
Only open fluid nozzles for those sides that are to be treated.
2. Activate the "FORWARD DRIVE" button and adjust the forward drive to the desired speed. The flow
rate can be varied steplessly, and be regulated by turning the spindle using the handle.
Turning clockwise: Slower speed
Turning anti-clockwise: Faster speed
3. Activate the button ”Børster/Brushes” and adjust the brush pressure as previously described.
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 nozzles or brushes. In that case they should be re-adjusted.
Test drive with the same item 2-3 times. This ensures that the brushes get wetted. Then make a test
drive with a new item. If the result is fine, production can start. The items should be controlled regularly,
to ensure a satisfying result.

11/27
5.8 Opening the lid
NOTE: THAT THE PUMPS CAN BE ACTIVATED EVEN WHEN THE LID IS OPEN.
Attention: The lid on the forward drive and brushes is hinged and can be opened. The lid is connected to
a switch that stops the forward drive, if the lid is open. The pump however, is not connected to this
switch and will therefore not stop when the lid is opened.
To start the forward drive the lid must be closed. If the lid is opened while the machine is activated the
forward drive stops immediately. To restart the machine the lid must be closed and a new start
command must be given on the start button.

12/27
