CHAPTER 8
PROBLEM SOLVING
?
AFTER SWITCHING ON, THE MACHINE DOES NOT START
a) Check that the plug is correctly inserted into the current outlet and in case check the contacts inside
the plug itself.
b) Check that the micro-switch, positioned at the back under the left hinge (which fixes the bell-lid), is
correctly energized when the bell-lid is lowered.
c) Check the safety fuses on the electronic panel card positioned inside the machine, particularly the
fuses related to the motor (5x20, 10A).
d) If a three-phase motor is installed, disconnect the machine and open the rear door to check the
possible intervention of the motor magneto-thermic overload.
?
THE MACHINE UNEXPECTEDLY STOPS WHILE IT IS RUNNING
e) Check that the rear micro-switch is correctly energized.
f)
Check that the 3 (three) safety fuses located on the electronic panel card are intact.
g) Check for the magneto-thermic overload intervention when a three-phase motor is installed.
?
THE MACHINE WORKS PROPERLY BUT THE BAG IS NOT SEALED AT LID
OPENING
a) Lift the sealing bar to check that the 2 cables with 24V current are well fixed to the sealing bar itself.
b) Lift the teflon to check that the resistance is not interrupted anywhere and is locked to the side
terminals.
?
IF THE MACHINE DOES NOT ATTAIN THE OPTIMUM VACUUM
a) Close the bell-lid and when the depression of 90% has been reached disconnect the line. If the
vacuum-meter pointer is still in position there is no leakage and therefore the problem is caused by a
different source (pump blades, oil replacement). If the pointer moves back there is air infiltration into
the vacuum chamber and therefore:
-
Check that the diaphragm under the sealing bar is not pierced or torn;
-
Check that the rubber gaskets on the lid are intact;
If necessary, refer directly to the manufacturing company for replacement of the above
mentioned parts.
