After storage longer than one year the oil of motor and, if necessary the gear have to be changed.
This is also necessary if the product never had run (natural deterioration of mineral oil).
Before start-up, the filling levels (oil, cooling fluid etc.) of the individual products should be checked and
topped up if required. Please refer to the machine data sheet for specifications on filling. Damaged
coatings should be repaired immediately. Only a coating that is completely intact fulfills the criteria for
intended usage!
If these rules are observed, your product can be stored for a longer period. Please remember that elastomer parts
and coatings become brittle naturally. If the product is to be stored for longer than 6 months, we recommend
checking these parts and replacing them as necessary. Please consult the manufacturer.
4.4. Returning to the supplier
Products which are delivered to the plant must be clean and correctly packaged. In this context, clean means that
impurities have been removed and decontaminated if it has been used with materials which are hazardous to
health. The packaging must protect the product against damage. Please contact the manufacturer before
returning!
5. Installation and Start-Up
5.1 General
In order to prevent damage to the mixer or serious injury during installation the following points must be observed:
•
Installation work may only be carried out by qualified persons. The safety instructions must be
followed at all times.
•
The mixer must be inspected for damages before any installation work is carried out.
•
Protect the mixer from frost.
•
The operating area must be laid out for each machine. You must ensure that lifting gear can be
fitted without any trouble, since this is required for assembly and removal of the machine.
•
The maximum bearing capacity must be greater than the weight of the machine, add-on units and
cable.
•
Electric power cables must be laid out in such a way that safe operation and non-problematic
assembly/dismantling are possible at all times.
•
The electric power cables should be fastened properly to the pipes with cable holders or other
suitable equipment. This should prevent loose hanging and damage to the electric power cables.
Depending on the cable length and weight, a cable holder should be fitted every two or three
meters.
•
The structural components and foundations must be of sufficient stability to ensure safe and
functional operation. The operator or supplier is responsible for the provision.
•
Never let the unit run dry.
•
Use defector plates for the pumped fluid intake that air cannot introduce into the pumped liquid. this
will lead to that the pump will run smoothly and is subjected to higher wear and tear.
5.2 Installation
Danger of falling!
Installation work for the mixer and its accessories is performed directly on the edge of the basin.
Carelessness or wearing inappropriate clothing could result in a fall. There is a risk of fatal injury! Take
all necessary safety precautions to prevent this.
Mixer
The mixer is delivered ready assembled. During installation of the mixer please check the following:
•
Propeller
The propeller must not touch the tank floor or walls in any possible installation position (min. 40 cm
distance).
•
Motor Cable
The cable must not be stretched even when the mixer is completely lowered. The cable should be
positioned with always providing large bending radius in order to prevent breaking.
The connecting cable should be guided as tight as possible towards the top, so it is not caught in the
flow.
