When you first receive your unit be sure to read the quick-start guide and owner’s manually fully before use.

• Step 1: Machine Inspection
  Begin by inspecting the following areas for any signs of damage:
  
  • Hopper Assembly: Check all components, including the hopper, gasket, lid, hinge, pin, relief unit, and fill tube.
  • Top Guards: Inspect the front cover, pin and lanyard, rear cover, and corresponding pins and lanyards.
  • Pan Handler: Check the rollers, lock arms, weighted door, pan prox, pan bumpers, support arm, pin, and hinge.
  • Dough Block: Inspect the dough slide plate, block slides, block, dough pocket(s), blow out and dispersion insert, O-ring (large and small), supply tube, top plate, knobs/lanyards, knife, and U-pins.
  • Base: Check all components, including extension arms, casters, compressor riser, compressor, louver, front and rear base covers, bolt-on cover, fan (ensure it’s plugged in), regulator unit, knife cylinder, block cylinder, filter unit, and oil shelf.
  • Optional Pan Oiler: Inspect the diaphragm pump, suction tube, supply tube, nozzle support, and nozzle position.
• Step 2: Inspect Installation Location
  
  • When choosing an installation location, it is important to check that the floor space is flat and level
  • That an outlet is available within 5 feet of the equipment
  • That the power cord can be routed to avoid any tripping hazards or damage to the cord’s integrity.
  • If possible, choosing a location that integrates into your workflow can help you get the best results from the equipment.
• Step 3: Machine Function Tests
  Perform the following function tests to ensure proper machine operation:
  
  • First check block and knife movement by hand, to do this we will need to remove the front guard, check that dough block, blowout assemblies are in place, and top plate bolts tightened. If free movement failed, check the assembly of the dough block area ensuring everything is properly aligned, and inspect cylinders for damage.
  • Next, turn on system with the front power switch. You should see the screen light up and compressor start running.
  • Verify that the display shows the home screen. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with navigating the display and check that your recipe and system settings are correct. If display is not on, check that the unit is plugged in and wall breaker did not trip. If power is okay, then the electrical cabinet is going to have to be opened and troubleshooting the root cause will be required.
  • Verify compressor functionality, it should start running when the tank is under 90 PSI and stop at 120 PSI. Also check that the compressor regulator is set to 90 PSI and the secondary pressure it set to 60 PSI. Listen for any leaks in the system and note their location. Review our video on diagnosing and repairing system leaks for more information. If the compressor does not start, check the pressure switch is turned on and plug did not fall out of the built in outlet during transportation.
  • Then test the safety functions of the system. Press the estop button, and check that the indicator light working. Try starting a cycle and look for the estop pressed fault to come up. Repeat this with all the guards and ensure that the cycle does not start, and alarm pop up appears. Reset the alarm between each test.
• Step 4: Operational Tests
  
  • (Pan Option) Test pan detect switch position
    
    • Insert pan into the pan handler until you feel resistance at the back of the machine, prox position is Critical. DI 10 should stay on with pan in place but not being held. Test multiple pans and rotate each to test from multiple positions
  • Press pan firmly into system to ensure guard sensor does not drop during operation
    
    • Guard fault will occur if sensor drops during cycle. Check Pan handler latch pin, Pan detect prox, Safety prox positions. Safety prox should be extended past flush to sense Pan handler, adjust towards pan handler if faulting. Pan detect prox should see pan in position, but not make contact with the pan. Contact with the pan can cause deflection of the sensor mounting bracket and cause the Safety prox to fail, adjust pan detect prox away from pan, if this occurs.
  • (Oiler option) Test oiler operation
    
    • Insert draw tube into Vegalube container, place pan into system to catch oil spray, navigate to secondary home screen and select “Prime oil” to prepare pump for use, oil should be visible in the draw tube.
  • (Oiler option) Turn on oil only mode and check spray pattern by inserting pan
  • Listen and feel for leaks around the lid gasket
    
    • Insert hopper plug, latch lid and start a cycle. Dough can be used as a plug and to test operation if the system has been cleaned. If compressor does not shut off after filling the hopper, there is a leak in the system. If you do not have a hopper plug, this test can be performed during normal operation, the dough will act as the plug.
  • Verify hopper pressure is 12PSI from the home screen
• Step 5: Clean and run your first batch
  If you have any trouble with these tests contact support for help. Once everything is checked out, the system will just need its first cleaning to ensure cleanliness after shipping and manufacturing before your first batch.
