ATTENTION
The cage must rotate slowly at the start to avoid damaging the frames that are still full of honey, even if, in the
TOP extractor, the acceleration is controlled by the electronic board inside the control panel.
After a few minutes of extraction the cage can be taken to the maximum rpm, having partially emptied the frames.
This device also facilitates stability of the extractor.
Evaluate, however, which is the most appropriate maximum speed based on the load of frames and the diameter
of the extractor. The larger the extractor, the lower the maximum rotation speed must be.
The rotation speed can be changed at any time by pressing the potentiometer.
To stop the extractor, place the switch in the central position 0 - STOP.
Wait for complete stopping of the cage which, due to the effect of inertia force, will continue to rotate for a few seconds.
At this point the lid can be opened to perform the discharge/loading operations.
ATTENTION
In the event of a current overload or a power failure, the extractor will stop working and remain stationary for 55
seconds.
A voltage overload may be due to the fact that the cage does not rotate freely but is blocked either by a broken
frame or by an excessive amount of honey inside the vat.
PREPARATION AND CHECKS PRECEDING THE FIRST START-UP
Check that the mechanical and electrical parts, are intact.
Check that the internal components of the extractor are well clean before inserting the boxes.
