2.7 DEMOLITION AND DISPOSAL
ATTENTION!
The machine does not contain dangerous components or substances that require
particular removal procedures. Regarding the elimination of the various materials, it is
necessary to follow the regulations of the Country in which the tunnel will be dismantled.
2.8 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Fig. 2.5.1
Make sure that the floor, in the installation area,
does not present irregularities that may prevent the
normal and correct positioning of the machine. After
placing a level on the upper part of the frame, level
the machine using the adjustable support feet then
lock them by tightening the locknuts.
Fig. 2.6.1
After levelling the belts and the shrink-wrapping
machine, position the machine's connection belt as
close as possible to that of the tunnel. The tunnel's
belt must be 1 mm higher than the shrink wrapping
machine's belt to avoid the pack from falling at the
tunnel inlet. Adjust this distance by working on the
screws 1.
All operations for the connection to the mains must be carried out with no voltage
applied to the machine.
In the case which someone wants access to the electrical system, remember to turn off
the power supply and wait at least 5 minutes before operating.
