5. Operation 5.8 Open loading door During longer standstill times solvent gas may concentrate in the cage housing. Therefore, the machine control is designed in a way that the loading door locks after 1 minute of standstill time. Up to the 5th minute the loading door can be unlocked with the key „⇑“. As of the 6th minute opening the loading door is only possible after the program „DEODORISING“ (P34) has been started and finished. Never leave the loading door open! Attention: The loading door can be opened manually should you have a loss

of electrical power and /or compressed air. There is an opening in the control cabinet on the upper edge of the front panel. To open the door insert the special wrench that was supplied with the machine into the opening and turn the wrench. The emergency opening may only be effected by skilled maintenance personnel, when program and cage have stopped. When removing garments, which is not completely dry, put them into a solvent-tight transport container. Pay attention to safety instructions (wear protective gloves, room venting, etc.). After opening the door the lock will automatically return to the closed position. After fault elimination close loading door by means of a special wrench and continue program by pressing key “start”. 5.9 Test run Load machine with test garments (pay attention to the filling capacity).

6. Functional units and aggregates Cage 6.1 Loading door venting (option) When the loading door is opened the machine fan starts running (for machines with Slimsorba only the Slimsorba fan) to prevent the escape of solvent loaded air in the area of unloading and loading. The air sucked from the cage is lead via the air cooler before it leaves the machine. The venting of the cage is stopped after 2 minutes and the signal reminds the operator to close the loading door. At machines with integrated Slimsorba the sucked off air is lead over the carbon bed of the Slimsorba after the air cooler. 6.2 Level control The setting of the low level is time-controlled by the computer control. The high level is controlled by a capacitive sensor. Recovery section

6.3 Air cooler The air cooler is protected against corrosion with a special coating (cataphorese). Inspect air cooler through inspection cover after dismantling left side panelling and remove linting and deposits between fins with a brush and water. Do not use steam jet due to danger of bursting! 6.4 Refrigeration technology Refrigeration technology is used for cooling the air cooler in the recovery section and in special cases (option) for cooling the solvent. The final solvent concentration in the cage and the solvent emission are reduced by the low recooling temperature of the air cooler. The heated gas in the refrigeration compressor (heat pump principle) is lead through the preheater. By this reverse cycle of the heat energy the energy consumption for drying is considerably reduced.

6. Functional units and aggregates 6.5 Cool-down (option/with Slimsorba standard) The cool-down is the way of the air cooled in the recovery section with by-pass of the preheater and heating battery. To change the direction of the air flow a flap is installed in the recovery section. At machines with adsorption unit cool air is, therefore, lead over the carbon and this will extend the intervals between the desorption. At machines without Slimsorba the cool air is bypassing the preheater and the heating battery and lead into the cage (see fig.) in order to obtain relatively cold garments easy to iron. 703867-03-0

6.6 Drying time controller DRYSTAT The drying time controller is installed in the solvent drain pipe from the recovery section to the water separator. The recovered solvent cools the sensor during drying. The drying process continues until the allowed temperature of the sensor has been reached. Check the solvent drain pipe from recovery section to water separator for perfect passage, clean if necessary.

6. Functional units and aggregates Button trap 6.7 Lint filter/Button trap Remove and clean lint filter after 8 - 10 cycles - more frequently in case of heavy linting. Check for possible damages. Never work without strainer and never use any damaged lint filters! To avoid linting of the air cooler it has to be particularly ensured that the lint filter is firmly seated. Also remove and clean the button trap strainer which is located in the same housing at the bottom. Never work without strainer to avoid damages of the pump by foreign bodies. Do not carry out work when machine is in operation and drying has not been finished. Tanks

6.8 Work and clean tank Refill solvent in time. The work tank must contain at least the solvent quantity necessary for the high level (P 240: 60 l / P 300 USA: 15.9 USgal; P 300: 70 l /P 350 USA: 18.5 USgal). For cleaning purposes pump tanks empty, remove front panelling and sight-glasses and clean the inside of the tanks. Due to higher solvent concentration the work room must be sufficiently vented, no smoking. After termination of the maintenance work check sight glass sealing resp. exchange. Check for tight fit. A water-cooled work tank cooling can be installed at machines without solvent cooling. 6.9 Sacrificial anode in the clean tank The sacrificial anode installed in the clean tank prevents the tank from corrosion; it will be destroyed instead of the inside of the tank, if there are traces of acid in the solvent or in the water settling down on top of the solvent. The condition is checked during the annual inspection and replaced, if worn out.

6. Functional units and aggregates Solvent cooling 6.10 Batch solvent cooling refrigerant-cooled (option) The solvent is cooled by means of a refrigerant-cooled heat exchanger. During gentle programs this solvent cooling is set to 15°C (59 °F). The cooling is controlled by a temperature sensor located at the entrance to the heat exchanger. During each cycle with batch solvent cooling the program stops before pumping up (no cage movement) until the set batch solvent temperature is reached. Then the program runs under control of the batch solvent temperature. The batch solvent temperature is displayed by pressing the key „F4“. 6.11 Tank cooling work tank (option/USA standard) For special heat influences from the outside the cooling of the solvent is installed in the work tank. It is effected by a water-cooled cooling coil. Still 6.12 Still unit The still unit is electrically or steam-heated and equipped with an overfilling preventer (option) and a still rinsing. The still unit and the sight-glass are rinsed during every pumping to the still unit. The distillation heating can be switched on and off with 13E. - Still stripping ( without emission-free still rake out system) If no liquid solvent condensate is visible through the sight-glass of the water separator anymore, start still maintenance (P36). The process is completed, when the signal Attention: Before opening the still sounds. Clean out still the next morning door check filling level. while cool by using the still rake out door.

6. Functional units and aggregates - Maintenance information for still Only fill the still up to the lower edge of the sight-glass. If water-laded solvent is distilled, the distillate goes slightly cloudy due to traces of water. If still residues are not stripped daily, the distillation rate will drop. The risk of boiling over and the solvent consumption increase. When using ECO filters and working without filter powder, the still residues stay liquid. If the still is operated properly, this does not result in higher solvent consumption. - Boiling over If the batch solvent foams or boils over, anti-foaming agents can be added. Use about 0.1 % of the filling quantity. If the still boils over, empty the water separator and clean it (if necessary, distil clean solvent tank contents). The condenser is self-cleaning by distillation. 6.13 Overfilling preventer in the still unit (option) An integral sensor interrupts the pumping process when reaching the upper edge of the sight-glass. The signal sounds and the error message E6425 is displayed. Erase error message with „C“. The display shows „par21“, press „START“, surplus solvent is pumped to tank I and the program continues.

6. Functional units and aggregates 6.14 Emission-free still rake out system (option) The emission-free still rake out system can only be carried out with the ECO filter, if not precoated with filter powder. During every pumping to the still the entire contnt is pumped round by the sludge pump. With the start of the maintenance program P36 the display shows 08. After pressing the start button again the emission-free still rake out system operates as follows: The residues are heated up. After reaching a preset temperature valve 42/1 and 42 are opened and the residues are pumped by means of the sludge pump. After completion of the preset pumping time valve 42 is closed and valve 43 as well as 43/1 are opened. The sludge pump transports the residues from the still into the waste disposal barrel. The solvent-containing air escaping from the barrel is being returned to the still via valve 43/1 (gas displacement line). Afterwards sludge pump, nozzle and piping are rinsed with solvent. The maintenance of the still is completed with drying of the cage and reduction resp. adsorption (at machines with Slimsorba). When the filling level in the waste disposal barrel reaches the sensor-controlled overfilling preventer, the sludge pump is automatically stopped and all valves of the still rake out system are closed. The error message „E 0135“ is displayed and the signal sounds. After stopping the signal with „C“ the filled waste disposal barrel has to be exchanged for an empty one. Now the maintenance program P36 can be started and the 703867-10-B emission-free still rake out system can be continued. Attention: If necessary, lint accumulation and dirt deposits must be removed

manually from the still. In this case the rinsing of the still must be avoided. This is done by selecting program P36 and pressing the start button. The display shows 8, then enter 0, press E and start again. The still rake out is carred out without the rinsing process. After maintenance has been completed clean still in cold condition.

Still residues must neither be disposed of into the sewerage nor disposed of as normal waste. They have to be diposed of as special waste.

The Slimsorba is integrated into the machine, all functions are automatically controlled by the computer control of the drycleaning machine. The desorption takes place parallel to a regular drycleaning cycle and, therefore, the additional time required for this cycle is kept low. The Slimsorba is desorbed with hot air. The Slimsorba is heated with steam or electrically with a separate steam generator (6 kW). Filling of the carbon unit Before the first operation of the machine the carbon unit must be filled with activated carbon as follows: 1. Remove the upper pipe of the carbon unit (dismantle hose connections, sensor and aeration duct). 2. Unscrew the tension ring lock and take off the lid. 3. Take out the perforated plate. 4. Fill in 10 kg (22.1 lb) of activated carbon (cylindrical pellets with a diameter of approx. 4 mm, type SUPERSORBON K40). The filling level must be above the heating coil. 5.

10. Maintenance Cartridge adsorption filter The cartridge must be changed with a pressure of 1.8 bar (26.1 psi). To change the cartridge the cartridge filter (7) is disconnected from the ECO filter (6) by the following setting: ball valve (1) open ball valve (2), (3), (4) closed Sequences of the following maintenance work: - Open ball valve (4), drain filter and let it drain sufficiently (evening or

weekend). - The filter aerating is effected automatically with ball valve (5). - (Next morning) open type-fastener on filter housing and open housing (7). - Open wing screw, change cartridge (if necessary, replace sealing discs) and

retighten wing screw. - Check housing seal,whether seated correctly (if necessary, renew it). - Close housing, close type-fastener and close ball valve (4) filter drain. The filling fo the cartridge filter with solvent is done with the next cycle. For this ball valve (1) is closed, ball valve (2) and (3) are opened. Then the filtration is either run via the cartridge filter or the cartridge filter is disconnected from the ECO filter again. Pay attention to safety instructions when handling solvent (see item 13). 10.10.4 Distillation maintenance Caution: Due to hot surfaces there is danger of burning on the condenser and still (sight glass, distillation opening). The still maintenance has to be carried out at the end of every working day. Sequences of the maintenance work: Do not carry out maintenance, if machine is in operation and still is hot. - If no solvent flow can be seen in the sight-glass of the water separator, start

distillation maintenance P36. - If the signal sounds at program end, press STOP. At machines with emission-free still rake out system the still residues were automatically pumped into the disposal barrel, the maintenance is finished. For machines without emission-free still rake out system additional maintenance work is required.

11. Solvent control and care Solvent care is a decisive factor for the reliability and life of the machine and good cleaning quality. It includes regular still and water separator maintenance and the use of quality products. Based on low solvent consumption and for preventive neutralization, we recommend to add neutralizing adsorbens to the still. - Determination of the pH value: Using a test tube take a few ml of water from the water separator. Then dip special indicator paper into the water and determine pH-value by means of a scale of comparison. Direct measuring in the solvent is not possible. pH-valve

13. Safety hints Repairs Repairs may only be carried out by skilled workers with tools and protection of labour that is destined for it. Avoid solvent emissions. When carrying out repairs and cleaning work always turn off main switch, close the locking valves of the supply lines (steam, condensate and compressed air) and protect equipment from being turned on unauthorized. (Sign: Don't turn on - Repair Work!). When work is being done on the electrical system - always remove the master fuse. Only use original fuses when exchanging defective ones. Work carried out on pneumatic control parts has to be done without pressure. Check compressed air indicator for pressure. Repairs on the refrigerating unit may only be done by a refrigeration engineer. All spare parts used must comply with the technical standards set by the manufacturer. Setting machine out of operation and disassembly Setting machine out of operation and disassembly is reserved only for qualified and trained specialists, with tools and protection of labour that is destined for it. - Setting machine out of operation and disassembly solvent must be completely drained off from the machine including pipes and armatures. Residues which can produce environmental handicaps must be removed. - Machine pipes and electric wires for supply or disposal must be separated from network and must be guard against incompetent turn on. - Cooling solvent from refrigeration unit must be removed by trained people who have the required experience and technical equipment.

Safety instructions

BÖWE textile cleaning machines use TETRACHLOROETHANE (Perc). This solvent is potentially harmful to health and is slightly toxic in the context to the Hazardous Substances Ordinance, COSHH regulations, etc.

_ No eating, drinking or food storage in the area where the machine is installed. _ No naked flames in the machine room. No smoking. _ Steam generators should be installed in such a way that they do not draw in air charged with solvent. _ When the machine is started for the first time, the operating personnel should be trained by a qualified BÖWE representative in how to operate the machine and should

also be made of any potential hazards aware and of how to operate the machine safely. _ The owner must only employ trained personnel for loading and unloading the machine,

and skilled and trained personnel for maintenance work. Unauthorised personnel is not allowed to approach the machine.

_ The daily checks prescribed in the operating instruction manual are minimum requirements.

Any changes which occur at the machine which may affect its safety should be reported immediately by the operating personnel.

_ The owner is obliged: - to draw up clear guidelines and allocate responsibilities for operation and maintenance. - to ensure that machines are only operated if they are in good condition. - to ensure that the area around the machine is tidy, clean and safe by means of clear instructions and regular inspections. _ The operator must not operate the machine in any way which may place the health of the personnel, the environment and the safety of the machine at risk. _ Notice and warning plates must be affixed to the machine and in the room in such a way that they are clearly visible. Damaged or missing plates must be replaced immediately. Safety instructions must be followed at all times. _ In the event of any kind of danger, the machine must be shut down immediately by turning it off at the main switch.

13. Safety hints In the event of a solvent leakage: - Shut down the machine - Evacuate all the personnel immediately into the open air - Remedy the cause of the leak (wearing appropriate breathing apparatus if necessary) - Change any clothing soaked with TETRACHLOROETHANE (Perc) - Request BÖWE service personnel if necessary The proper handling of TETRACHLOROETHANE (Perc) is an important prerequisite for safety whilst working with the machine.

The following potential dangers should be noted:

TETRACHLOROETHANE (Perc) is a very good grease remover, it removes all natural oils from unprotected skin. Protection: Wear solvent resistant gloves, apply fatty cream to the hands. Liquid TETRACHLOROETHANE (Perc) irritates the eyes very badly. Protection: Wear goggles. Inhaling TETRACHLOROETHANE (Perc) vapours reduces alcohol tolerance. Protection: Do not consume alcohol at work or shortly afterwards. TETRACHLOROETHANE (Perc) decomposes in the presence of a naked flame or even hot metal. Protection: No smoking. TETRACHLOROETHANE (Perc) vapours irritate the mucous membranes in the respiratory passages and eyes. Protection: Prevent escape of vapours, wear breathing apparatus when carrying out major maintenance work. Caution: It is possible to smell TETRACHLOROETHANE (Perc) (odour threshold) in concentrations as low as 5 ml/m3 of air. - TETRACHLOROETHANE (Perc) has a similar effect on the central nervous system like that of an anaesthetic, it may cause unconsciousness and, in very high concentrations, cause death. - Special rules and regulations for the room containing the machine are defined in the operating instruction manual supplied by the manufacturer. This manual also contains guidelines on all additional safety measures and procedures in the event of operational faults depending on the local situation as well as instructions for First Aid.
