17
6.3 Unloading the machinery

Before moving the machine, always check the weights and general information on the packaging.
Personnel not involved in the work must not remain in the area involved in the movement.

It is necessary to maintain the vertical position of the package during handling, to avoid damage to the internal components of
the machine and possible leaks of coolant if present

If the machinery is equipped with a refrigeration unit, if it is tilted during transport it is necessary to wait a minimum of 8 hours
from installation to start-up, this to avoid possible problems with the compressor.

If the package is equipped with it, on the sides of the external packaging, there may be a device called "TILTWATCH" which
serves to determine whether the packaging has undergone an inclination which may have damaged the contents; you must
pay attention to the instructions on the sticker. If the machine was tilted more than necessary during transport operations (the
circle in the center of the device is colored red) some parts may have been damaged.

The manufacturer will not be able to recognize under warranty any damage occurring during transport; the buyer is required
to follow the instructions on the sticker to avoid disputes.

If the package of the machinery is not equipped with a TILTWATCH and during unloading of the machinery you notice any
discrepancies or breakages, it is necessary to sign with reservation to the courier, in order to open a case with the carrier, the
manufacturer will not be able to recognize any damage under

18
6.4 Installation Safety Requirements
In addition to the regulations in force in the country of destination, the following requirements must be observed:
• All connection cables must be securely connected in order to avoid any contact between the phases.
• access to the machine's electrical panel must be carried out only by suitably trained electrical maintenance
technicians or by managers appointed by the customer and trained by SELMI s.r.l.
• Operators involved in the installation, assembly, operation and maintenance of the machine must wear suitable
personal protective equipment in relation to the type of activity performed on the machine (safety footwear,
mechanical risk gloves, work clothing).
• Do not make structural or wiring changes to the machine (e.g. welding, disconnecting the machine, modifications to
the electrical system or modifications to guards and tampering with safety devices). The manufacturer specifies that
any modification carried out without its explicit authorization will void the CE marking of the machine and any warranty
of sale.

6.4.1 Space required for use and maintenance

The choice of the installation site is dictated by specific needs for unloading pieces but must take into account that the
operator must be able to operate around the machine without any impediment, it is therefore advisable to pay particular
attention to what is reported in this paragraph in relation to the minimum distance between the machine and other
machinery or walls. It is necessary to consider that the following conditions may occur during the work phases:
• Removal of elements or embedded material;
• Inspection of electrical parts and possible repair or replacement;
• Engine maintenance;
• Cleaning the machine.
Check which regulations on health and safety in the workplace are in force for the application of prevention and protection
methodologies and standards. The Decree provides for a careful analysis of the minimum spaces necessary for the use
and maintenance of the machine, also aimed at avoiding the occurrence of dangerous situations. Therefore, it is good to
remember that:
• A confined workspace can facilitate accidents due to, for example, the presence of machine equipment.
• The determination of the space required for the use and maintenance of the machine is therefore characterized by
numerous variables of different nature interacting with each other. There is therefore a need to deal with every
business situation in a comprehensive and articulated way.

9.1.1 Start

With button 4 it is possible to heat the storage compartment of the trays to keep them at the desired temperature, using
a resistance that heats the air and a fan, setting the temperature using buttons no. 5 and 6, viewing the actual temperature
measured on display no. 2.

To start using the machine, you need to press:

button no. 8 to activate the suction in the spray chamber,
button no. 13 if you want to use the turntable, which can then be controlled via pedal no. 12.

The machine is equipped with double pneumatic power supply: you can choose whether to use it via an internal
compressor or an external pneumatic system:
• In the first case, press button no. 7 to turn on the compressor.
Then adjust the airflow via regulator No. 11.

• Otherwise, it will be necessary to connect the compressed air to connection no. 10 and adjust the flow rate again from
regulator no. 11.

32
Direct or stand-alone compressed air connection

The Chocopaint can work either connected to a compressed air system or autonomously using its compressor.

1. Connection to external compressed air system

- Connect the compressed air hose into the pneumatic connector (n.3 ref.8.2)

- open the pneumatic valve number 2 in the image below and close the valve number 1; To access these valves,
it is necessary to open the side casing of the electrical panel.

- The final situation should be as shown in the image below

In this way the machine will be powered by the external pneumatic line, and it will be possible to adjust the air pressure
through the regulator n.11 (ref.8.7)

2. Using the Internal Compressor

If you intend to use the machine through the compressor inside the machine, you must position the valves opposite to
the previous one: n.1 open and n.2 closed.

You must then activate the compressor through button n.7 (ref.8.7):

In this way, the compressor will manage itself: it is necessary to have button no. 7 (ref 8.7) when using the machine, so
that the air pressure is always set.

9.2 Safety Devices
9.2.1 Emergency stop buttons
One or more emergency stop buttons with self-restraint of the "mushroom" type, compliant with the
EN 418 standard, are installed on the machine, red on a yellow background with absolute priority in
all operating modes with respect to the other functions and activations.
If necessary, the machine can be stopped instantly by pressing any of the emergency buttons. Once
pressed, the power supply and the power supply of the auxiliaries are disconnected, causing the
immediate stop of the motion parts.

Consult the machine's manual before use;

To restore normal working conditions, in the event of an emergency stop following the pressing
of the aforementioned buttons, the following procedure must be followed:

The emergency circuit of the machine has been designed and built to be redundant.
In this way, in the event of a fault on a component of the emergency circuit, the machine will stop until the fault is
repaired.
With this type of emergency circuit, we will therefore always have all components of the emergency circuit ready to
intervene in case of danger.

12.4 Wearing Components

Caution: components that are subject to their own wear and tear must be checked strictly and replaced as
soon as they show significant signs of wear.

The manufacturer has designed and built the machine in order to limit wear as much as possible, however due to
use and service life the wear may be more noticeable.
In this regard, it is recommended to carry out an accurate visual inspection of the main components subject to wear
and tear, such as, but not limited to: gaskets, motion transmission elements, filtration systems, elements for
transporting food products (wire mesh mesh mat, other belts), pipes for conveying fluids, protective membranes for
control panels, Etc.

If structural deformations or veins are found in metal parts or welds, the manufacturer's after-sales service should be
consulted immediately.

Due to their construction characteristics, heating elements can suffer a reduction in insulating power over time,
especially when exposed to high degrees of humidity;

Check the functionality of the differential cut-off device placed to protect the machine's power socket.
