speed geared motor and a pre-programmed
acceleration ramp limiting frame breakage.
Its transparent half-cover (1) allows to monitor
the progress of the extraction process.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION : Before connecting the appliance to the power supply, make sure that the
electrical installation complies with current standards (protection by earth leakage
circuit breaker, earth wire, etc.).
Check the supply voltage.
Before using the unit for the first time, clean the unit to remove any residual chips or
filings.
Read the entire guide before starting the setup.
Fix the appliance to the floor (the feet have holes for this purpose).
Do not allow honey to rise above the tube in the centre of the tank.
Always work with the tap open.
In case of unbalance reduce the speed slightly, if the unbalance persists, stop the
extractor and proceed to rebalance the cage.
Do not allow honey to enter the safety head (2).
