2. .Turn on the power switch located next to the plug and the pilot lights will turn on. Press the “Vacuum” or “Sealing”
buon and the “Increase” or “Decrease” buons to change the me for drawing air and heat-sealing to corresponding
numbers (for instance: if “28” for drawing air and “15” for sealing, then the me of drawing air is 28 seconds and the
sealing me is 1.5 seconds).
3. Firmly press down the lid of the machine and once the vacuum pump starts to draw air then the lid of the machine will
seal shut automacally. The “Decrease” and “Increase” buons control the me of drawing air by regulang the degree
of the vacuum according to the packing requirement. Pressing “Increase” will increase the degree of vacuum and press-
ing “Decrease” will reduce the degree of vacuum.
4. Once air drawing has reached the set me, the course of air drawing will end.
5. Aer the compleon of air drawing, the procedure of sealing begins. There are 3 dierent heat sealing temperatures for
materials of variang thickness, low, medium, and high. Press the “Seal Temperature” seng to cycle through the
dierent temperatures, select the one that will suit your packaging thickness. Change the sealing me by pressing the
“Sealing” buon and the “Decrease” and “Increase” buons, raise the sealing me slowly in order to prevent the seal-
ing temperature from geng too high and burning the sealing parts or from melng the packaging materials.
6. Sealing ends once it is has reached the set sealing me. The atmosphere will enter into the vacuum room through the
solenoid valve, then the cover of the machine will open automacally. The whole procedure is nished, and the next
packing cycle is prepared and ready to go.
4. Before Use
Before operaon, you must be well acquainted with the operaon and use instrucons.
1. You must ll the vacuum pump with NO. 68 Food Grade Oil up to 3/4 height of the oil window before starng the ma-
chine. (It is recommended to empty and ush any old oil before adding the NO. 68) At the end of each cycle, the oil level
should not be lower than 1/2 height of the oil window. Do not ll with too much oil as to avoid the oil spraying out. The
oil pump is located behind the panel in the back of the machine.
2. The machine should be placed horizontally in good venlaon and without corrosive gas and dust.
3. Whether using three-phase four-wire or single-phase power, both should be connected with the protecve earth wire
separately for safety.
4. Before starng the machine, select the “Seal Temperature”, the sealing me, and the vacuum me to suit your require-
ments.
5. Plug the machine into power and ip the switch to “ON” and press down the cover of vacuum to start the vacuum
pump. If the temperature is low or the lubricang oil in the vacuum pump is thick, then start the vacuum packing ma-
chine several mes unl the lid of the machine is sealed. (Before starng the machine, turn o the “Seal Temperature”
seng buon to avoid damaging the sealing cloth.)
If the vacuum pump gives out a lot of noise and the vacuum gage’s pointer does not move, then the vacuum pump’s rotary
direcon is wrong—the dynamo’s fan should rotate an-clockwise and the three-phase power should change any two of the
three power terminals (single-phase power hasn’t this phenomenon).
