10.0 – Operation and use
WARNING
Before starting the machine for the first time make sure that the cleaning, lubricating and
maintenance operations have been carried out.
-Connect the plug f the control board to the power supply net,
-Connect the machine piping to the product tank,
-Adjust the vat position accordingly to the kind of bottle used (ref.to chapter 10.3).
-Adjust the level of liquid into the bottle as per chapter 10.3.
10.1 – Vat regulation
You can regulate the vat height accordingly to
the bottles height and to the filling level
required: Move the vat up removing it from
the holes and place it up or down. Incline the
vat upward removing it out from the holes
sliding it up or down as required, than put it
back in position inside the proper holes on the
lateral side (look at the picture).
ATTENTION: Be sure that the
vat is re-aligned correctly.
Figure 10 – Vat regulation
10.2 – Level adjustment
In order to find the right level of product into
the bottle act as follows:
•Screw or unscrew the ring-nut (A) to
obtain the desired level into the bottles.
•We remind you that screwing
ANTICLOCKWISE the ring-nut the
level will be lower, screwing
CLOCKWISE the level will be higher.
•We recommend to act on the ring-nut
with a minimum number of REV. to
avoid liquid overflowing.
Figure 11 – Level adjustment

Instructions handbook 18
ATTENTION: the ring-nut has always to be adjusted without the bottle placed under it.
10.3 – Starting and stopping the filler
STARTING THE FILLER
After you made the above mentioned operations
proceed as follows:
•open valve (A),
•remove cap (H) and fulfil with product the
pump body, than close it,
•for the machines without electric board
move the PUMP switch (B) TO “ON” and
control that the light is on, for the models
without the panel board the flashing light is
placed on the pump,
•for the machines with electric panel activate
the green push button (START or 1) after
having risen the emergency button to turn on
the machine.
•IMPORTANT: verify the sense of rotation
looking at the side that is sucking,
•rotate the filling valve ahead (C) and insert it
into the bottle, than place it on the vat (D),
•proceed to discharge the fulfilled bottles and
to load the empty ones,
•always control the filling level (E) of the
tank especially for the models without the
floating valve,
•the filling valves of the filler can let drip
some drop of product inside the vat, that can
be emptied through the proper valve (F).
Figure 12 – Functioning commands
ATTENTION: If after some second after switching on of the machine the pump is not
priming control the connections of piping and fittings to verify that there are no air seepage.
STOPPING THE FILLER
To stop the machine proceed as follows:
•Move PUMP switch to “OFF” or push the STOP key for the machines with EXTERNAL
BOARD
•continue to bottle till the tank is completely empty, or discharge the tank through the proper
valve (G) for the total discharge,
For the filler washing refer to the following indications:
•fulfil the tank with the desired washing product,
•carry out the different filling phases for each filling valve.
We suggest you to carry out the washing phase first with water, than with specific products.

Instructions handbook 19
FILLER WORKING CONTROL
When the filling machine is in operation it is require the tank level control to the operator,
especially in the models without floating device, if the level of the product in tank is going too
down you can act on the by-pass valve (Z), opening the valve the pump is sucking less quantity of
product and closing it it is sucking more.
10.4 – Using the machine with optional devices
USE OF THE FILLER WITH SATURATOR
The machine equipped with saturator, that can
also be installed in a second time, do not
require any particular shrewdness, but only
the connection that has to be made as follows:
Connect the gas cylinder pipe with pre-
heating element to valve (A) on the saturator,
•Open the valve of the gas cylinder and
regulate the pressure between 0,2 and
2,5 Bar, accordingly to the product
needs.
ATTENTION: It is very important that
the product to gas has a temperature not
higher than 5°C.
Figure 13 – Saturator
USE OF THE FILLER WITH STERILIZATION CARTRIDGE
The machine equipped with sterilization
cartridge do not need any particular care as it
is placed in line on the product enter. It is
only necessary to take care of the cartridge
maintenance that has to be removed at the end
of the working cycle and kept into a solution
of water with Peracetric acid at 1%.
