The machine is guaranteed for 12 months. The guarantee only covers those parts that present production
faults and excludes the electric system and the motors. The indicated period is valid for a machine that
works eight hours a day and must be halved for heavier-duty conditions.
During the guarantee period the Manufacturer shall supply, free of charge, within the minimum technical
periods, and ex factory, the parts or items that have evident manufacturing faults, and only under the
condition that the machine was used following the regulations established by the Manufacturer (installation,
use, maintenance and performance limits).
Items not manufactured by MIMAC ITALIA SRL are excluded from the guarantee, for example motors and
electrical apparatus, cylinders and pneumatic components, as well as all material not directly guaranteed
by its own manufacturer. In addition, all parts damaged during the transport, or because of bad and/or
incorrect installation or maintenance, or because of neglect or incorrect use, are not covered by the

If in the unquestionable opinion of our technicians it is not possible to intervene in the customer’s premises,
the customer shall send the machine ex factory to MIMAC ITALIA SRL which, after repairing the faulty part
at no charge, shall return the machine carriage forward.
When the previously indicated guarantee period has expired, the customer will be also charged with both

ENG
USE AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Before starting operations, identify and make sure there are no danger points in the movement area,
including the area where the means of transport is positioned and the installation area.
The transport and lifting means must be suitable for theweight to be lifted. Concerning this, read the weights
printed on the packaging and/or indicated in this manual.
Inspect the cables before using them to make sure there is no damage or signs of wear. Do not twist or knot
the cables and follow the manufacturer’s instructions; these instructions are valid also for chains or belts.
Be careful when positioning the lifting or slinging systems; make sure the load is perfectly balanced before
lifting it.
It is forbidden to get onto the load, or to move and/or remain under it while it is being moved.
It is forbidden for those people who are not involved in transporting and moving to access the relative areas.
All operators must remain at the safety distance from the packages when they have been lifted from the
ground to avoid being hit if they fall.
Do not allow the load to oscillate during lifting.
Lift the machine using a lift truck, inserting the forks under the lower surface at the baricentre point
Position the machine on an integral floor or on a solid and proper bolster
2.8.3 UNPACKING
When installation has been completed, all the packing material must be disposed of in compliance with
national regulations in force.
The equipment and material used for lifting should be positioned in a suitable place and stored carefully for
possible machine transfer.
2.9 USERS TRAINING

The dropping machine does not exceed an equivalent continuous noise level of 85 dB(A).
Considerations in compliance with Directive 89/392/EEC
No special precaution is required by the operator.
The indicated noise level is an emission level and does not necessarily represent a safe working level.
There is a link between the emission and exposure levels, but it cannot be used to determine if special
precautions are necessary. The factors that influence the true level of exposure of the work force include
the characteristics of the working environment, the other sources of noise, etc., for example the number of
machines and the other processes close by. In addition, the permitted exposure level can vary from one
country to another. This information allows the machine user to evaluate the danger and risks in a better
manner.
The machine user and the employer must respect laws regarding operator protection against the daily
personal exposure to noise, with the possible use of personal protection equipment (headphones, etc.)
according to the total noise level present in the work area.
2.13 CLOTHING
As far as clothing is concerned, operators must adhere to food production standards that are current in the
European community and/or in their own Country.
In a simple manner, it is obligatory to:
• wear clothing that is in compliance with health regulations (overalls and headgear that cover hair
completely);
• wear disposable sterilised gloves;
• wear accident-prevention footwear that is suitable for the movements to be carried out;
• wear disposable masks that cover the mouth and nose.

USE AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
5 STARTUP AND FUNCTION CHECK
5.1 POSITIONING
The floor or the bolster on which the machine is to be placed must be suitable for supporting the indicated
weights.
Make sure that around the perimeter of the machine there is enough space to allow safe machine use and
the safe execution of maintenance operations.
The choice of the area for the positioning of the machine must consider:
• the machine bulk;
• the operator’s work position, the tray loading and unloading positions and the control panel position;
• the necessary movements for cleaning both the workplace and the machine;
• the necessary space for carrying out maintenance.
5.2 POWER CONNECTION AND EARTHING
The power connection is always at the cost of the Customer, who also assumes the
responsibility of the operation. In addition, it is a precise responsibility of the Customer to
protect the power conductors and to provide an efficient and reliable earthing system.
The electric installer must be specialised in these types of operation and must presumably have all the
technical and regulatory notions for carrying out the work in a workmanlike manner.
The machine must be connected to the electric circuit of the installation area in a manner that complies with
current directives (CEI-EN6 0204-I, CEI-EN 60349-I) and regulations.
The power cable must be kept far from moving or hot parts. It must also not hinder the movement of people
and materials in the installation area.
Make sure the machine voltage indicated on the identification plate corresponds to the line voltage of the
work premises. If this is not the case, do not connectelectrically but contact the Supplier or the Manufacturer
immediately.
The machine must be connected to earthing that has been prepared by the Customer in compliance with
current directives (Italian Leg. Decree 547/55 - CEI EN 60204-1 - EN 60445).
The connecting terminals can be found inside the electric panel as specified in the wiring drawings.
Use the regular earthing system; do not use the gas or water pipes or other unspecified metal structures.
5.3 CONTROLS DESCRIPTION
5.3.1 CONTROL PANEL
At operator’s disposal there is the control panel where he can perform all the operations related to the set-
up and the control of the machine.
To stop the machine, there is the Stop push-button, the Emergency push-button and the safety
microswitches placed on the movable panels. To temporarily stop the production, it must be used the Stop
push-button. In case of danger stop immediately the machine pressing the Emergency push-button.
