The air should be completely
oil-free and dry.
The quality of the compressed
air influences the service life of
the heating element in the air
heater.
A compressed air dryer with a
prefilter upstream of the sealing
machine and a downstream fine
filter are to be installed if the air
is very humid.
8.02 Mounting the sealing tape reel bracket
OSecure the sealing tape reel bracket 1
with the screws 2

8.03 Connecting the compressed air
OConnect the machine to the compressed
air system. The manometer 1on the
maintenance unit should show a pres-
sure of 6bar.Adjust this value if neces-
sary (see chapter 11.03 Checking / set-
ting the air pressure).

OInspect the machine and in particular the electric lines and pneumatic connecting hoses
for possible damage.
OHave technical staff check whether the machine may be operated at the existing mains
voltage.
Never operate the machine if there are any differences.
The machine must only be connected to a grounded socket!
8.05 Switching the machine on/off
Work steps to switch on the machine
OCheck the air pressure (see chapter
11.04 Setting the air pressure)
OSet a hot air pressure of 30 PSI /
0.2 Mpa on the control 1.
The hot air pressure may not be
less than 15 PSI / 0.1 Mpa .
Danger of machine damage!
Work steps to switch off the machine
OSet the temperature to 30 °C on the con-
trol panel and wait until the display PV is
below 50 °C (see arrow).
OSet the hot air pressure to "0" on the con-
trol 1.
OSwitch off the machine at the main
switch.
