maintenance interventions. Before carrying out any maintenance interventions, it is compulsory to
remove the plug from the mains. On completing the intervention, check that any dismantled guards
have been replaced and fastened in position.
7.2 Mechanical maintenance
If, whilst operating, the spiral mixer tool (or bowl) speed should decrease, this may mean that the belt
tension is inadequate. The belt tension should be checked on a monthly basis. The belt tension is
correct when, with one finger pressed on the free end of the belt, gives by an amount equal the width
of the belt itself.
To tighten the trapezoidal belt, simply turn the nut clockwise found on the rear panel of the machine.
The chains should be greased and the tension tested every six months.
To perform these operations, remove the guards fitted over the head of the machine and the rear part
of the structure.
If such tests reveal the need to replace any worn parts, contact your nearest dealer or the manufacturer.
7.3 Electrical maintenance
Visual inspection of the power cord and plug should be performed weekly for damage caused by
scraping, impact or being trodden on.
Check that the micro switch on the electric interlock on the accident prevention guard, and the head
for the SM/R and SM/RE models, work correctly.
In the case of a short circuit and subsequent failure of the protection fuses, replace with fuses with
identical specifications. To replace them, proceed as follows:
- After removing the plug from the socket, remove the rear guard to access the electric box;
- Identify the blown fuses and replace them;
- After replacing them, replace the guards and fasten in place.
For further repair work, refer to the diagram layout delivered with the machine.
