- Always relieve the pressure before disconnecting
the pipes, turning the eccentric screw in the opposite
direction for a few seconds: the pressure gauge (Fig. 2)
must indicate a pressure of 0 bar.
- After turning the eccentric screw in the opposite
direction for a few seconds, squeeze the pipes to make
sure there is no residual pressure inside before
disconnecting them. If necessary, strike the pipe with a
rubber mallet at the places where it is clogged.
- Turn the machine off before accessing the agitator
in the hopper or the mixing machine mixer.
- The casing must be closed by key during use.
- Always switch off the Diesel engine before opening
the casing.
- Pay attention when opening the casing, because
there may be very hot parts and flammable and/or corro-
sive liquids inside the engine compartment.
The accident-prevention regulations and safety instructions must
be observed in the work area.
In particular, there must be a completely free area of at least
1 metre around the machine and a flat treadable surface where
only the machine operator stands.
When using the mixing machine, the operator must constantly
make sure that no one else is near the work area.
Take care when handling bags of material, and avoid creating
sprays which could come into contact with eyes or other parts of
the body. Wear safety glasses and gloves. Do not raise dust,
which could be inhaled. Always wear a mouth and nose mask
during use.
- The machine must not be used in places where there is
risk of explosion and/or fire, or in underground excavations.
The plastering machine does not have its own lighting, therefore
the workplace must be adequately lit.
6. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
The SILENT 300 plastering machine has a 12 Vdc electrical system.
7. MECHANICAL SAFETY
The hazardous parts of the IMER plastering machine are pro-
tected by suitable safety devices, which must remain fitted and
kept in perfect condition, such as the Diesel engine cooling fan
guard and in particular the grills and the protection in the hopper
and on the mixing machine, that prevent contact with the agita-
tor and the mixer located inside the hopper and mixing machine:
when the latter are opened the agitator and/or mixer automati-
cally stop.
- The grills must not be tampered with in any way or
for any reason: tampering with the grills can be the cause
of serious accidents at work with these types of machines.

8. TRANSORTABILITY AND TOWABILITY (Fig. 3)
Before moving the plastering machine it is advisable to lift the
mixing machine, disconnect the material delivery pipe and air
hose and, if present, the pressure water cleaner suction and
delivery hoses and the cable control. This must always be
done when lifting the machine.
There must also not be any material in the hopper or the mixing
machine.
- Important! Before lifting or towing the plastering
machine
- Always disconnect the material delivery pipe and air
hose and, if present, the pressure water cleaner hoses.
- If present, remove the remote control and screen, which
must always be carried separately.
- Always make sure all components of the machine are
correctly secured and fixed and, in particular, that the
mixing machine is secured with the safety pin.
To lift the machine, use the special point provided on top of the cab
(Fig. 1, Ref. 15).
- Important! Lift carefully because the machine
can easily sway.
- Important! Never use hooking points different from
that indicated in figure (Fig. 1, Ref. 15) to lift the machine.
Use lifting equipment suitable for the overall weight of the machine
indicated in table 1.
Before towing the machine, remove the pressure gauge (Fig. 2),
correctly position the drawbar so that, with the machine and
the last element of the drawbar horizontal, the coupling is at
the height of the tow hook, correctly secure the various drawbar
elements (Fig. 3) hook the safety cable, couple the lights cable,
after lifting and locking the mixing machine with the safety pin
(Fig. 1, Ref. 21) correctly position the side impact bar (Fig. 1,
Ref. 9), lift and lock the stabiliser feet, check the tyre pressures
and operation of the various luminous devices, make sure there
are no elements of the plastering machine or various material
(screen, bags of material, pipes, tools, etc.) on the machine,
and make sure the machine is generally in order.
