3.4 Noise
The machine mod. 901-3600 has been planned and built in order to reduce to a minimum
acoustic pollution.In the table here below are reported the levels of sound pressure noticed
in different points around the machine indicated in plate. The area marked with an X is to be
considered as the work place reserved for the machine operator.
The values are reported in accordance with the normative project ISO/CD 11202 at a heigh
of 1,5 m. from the ground.
Tests were conducted with the machine working in automatic cycle.
X = 75dbA
B=76 dbA
C=78 dbA
D=76 dbA
These values have been measured with an integration time of 300 sec.
If the machinery are performing works in places in wich noise level exceed 80 dBA, the
employer must apply all measures to protect the workers health according the Directive
86/188/CEE foreseen in Italy by D.P.R.n.277 issued on 15.8.1991.
MONTI ANTONIO S.P.A. is available to supply assistance in the analysis and research of
solutions to problems which may arise concerning noise risk.

3.7 Areas with safety devices
The machine is equipped with a series of fixed protection and safety devices that state clearly
the operator’s operative field in order to guarantee safety.
A - N°4 emergency buttons located at the front and rear of the machine
B - Total streamlining of the machine.
C - Safety locks located on the side panels can only be operated by the proper tool
D - Padlock fastening which blocks the interception valve of compressed air when it is
in a closed position in order to avoid the accidental opening of the valve when the
machine is undergoing maintenance.
E - In order to avoid the danger of burning on the heated cylinder, the paper separation
system and the fixed steel bar, limit the operator’s field of action and exposes only a
small area of the heated surface. During the process, the remaining heated area is
covered by the materials being treated. APPROPRIATE SPATULAS FOR EXTRACTING
FABRIC AND PAPER ARE PROVIDED, THIS TASK MUST NEVER BE CARRIED OUT
WITH BARE HANDS.
F - Protective device at the material insertion point :
To avoid the accidental dragging of hands between the felt and the printing cylinder,
a fixed steel bar has been installed.
APPROPRIATE SPATULAS FOR EXTRACTING FABRIC AND PAPER ARE PROVIDED,
THIS TASK MUST NEVER BE CARRIED OUT WITH BARE HANDS.
G - Hand protection located on the front part of the machine consisting of a pull-cord
complete with machine stop switch.
If the above safety measures are adopted, the machine will be safe for the operator to use
without running the risk of crushing, trapping or burns.
It is of utmost importance that these devices are not removed or tampered with and
that they are maintained in perfect working order.

4.INSTALLATION
Staff interested in the installation of the machine must be qualified and have
relevant technical training and experience to allow them to carry out the different
operations competently.
4.1 Transportation and packaging
It is necessary to pay very close attention when lifting, transporting and positioning
the machine .
The series 901-3600 machines are tested thoroughly by MONTI Antonio and are generally
transported fully assembled on crates or pallets.
To unload the machine successfully, it is necessary to be equipped with an adequate
carrying capacity, far greater than the gross weight of the package stamped on the crate.
The figure shows how the movement of the machine must be carried out.
Carefully support the package on the ground to open it.
The machine must only be moved by applying the lifting accessories (ropes and bars) as
shown in the diagram below .

WARNING: use a means which allows you to safely lift a weight equal to that of the machine;
the weight is shown in the table 2.
In order to obtain the full functionality of the machine, it is necessary to install it on a perfectly
level surface. This operation is carried out by placing a spirit level on the appropriate screws
located at the (back) of the machine to check the vertical alignment; then do the same above
the printing cylinder to check the horizontal alignment. Undoubtedly these alignments
require the use of the appropriate thickness of sheet metal ( 10cm. x 10cm. thickness
3mm. )or, in any case, of crushproof and non-perishable material.. It is essential when
positioning the machine to observe the minimum distances around the edge of the machine
with regard to fixed obstacles or obstacles which are difficult to move. The distances (in front
of and behind the machine) should be decided by the operator based on his knowledge of the
job and the size and movement of manufactured goods which are inserted into and
withdrawn from the machine.
As far as the distances to either side of the machine are concerned, it is necessary
to take in to account the fact that the resistors can be removed both from the left-
hand and right-hand side of the machine Consider a minimum distance of 4mt. for
the right side. A distance of 2mt. is sufficient on the left-hand side.
To determine the right and left lateral distance one must stand looking directly in
front of the working side of the machine.
