Periodical Maintenance Checks - Gima SUPER TOBI Manual De Istrucciones

The SUPER TOBI suction equipment does not need maintenance or lubrication.
It is necessary to check functioning and instrument before every use. Unpack the instrument and always check integrity of plastic parts and feeding
cable, they might have been damaged during previous use. Connect cable to electrical network and turn switch on. Close the aspirator outlet with your
finger and with suction regulator in maximum vacuum position check that the vacuum indicators reaches -80kPa (-0.80 bar) minimum.
Rotate the knob from right to left and check the aspiration regulating control. The vacuum indicator should go down -40kPa (-0.40 bar). Verify that loud
noises are not present, these can indicate wrong functioning. A protection fuses (F 1 x 1.6 A L 250V) reachable from exterior and situated in the plug
protects the instrument. For fuses replacing, always the type and the range.

Faults 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7
If the overfill security system it's activated, don't proceede with the liquid aspiration.
If the overfill security system doesn't work there are two cases:
1° case – If the overfill security system doesn't work the aspiration will be stopped by the bacteriological filter who avoid the liquid penetration inside the
device.
2° case – If both the security system doesn't work, there is the possibility that liquid comes inside the device, in this case return the device to GIMA
technical service.
BEFORE EVERY CHECKING OPERATION, IN CASE OF ANOMALIES OR BAD FUNCTIONING, PLEASE CONTACT GIMA
TECHNICAL SERVICE.
GIMA DOES NOT GIVE GUARANTEE IF INSTRUMENT, AFTER THE TECHNICAL SERVICE CHECKING, APPEARS TO BE
TAMPERED.

be connected with the other end to jar's lid connector where has been fixed the red float.
When the 90% of the volume of the jar is reached there is the activation of the security float (the float close the aspiration connector on
the jar) to avoid liquid penetration inside the device. The device must be used on a plan of horizontal operation.
WARNING: Ensure that the IN marker on the filter is on the side facing the collection jar lid and fitted into the "VACUUM".
A wrong connection causes immediate destruction in case of contact with sucked liquids.
