The machine are available in two types:
• Flexibly-mounted, which means that the drum unit (motor and drum) are suspended
in the frame by rubber straps. Beneath the motor is a counterweight which
counterbalances the drum when it is rotation.
• R- model, in which the drum unit is relatively mounted in the frame on rubber
bushings.
An out of balance switch stops the motor if the load is not distributed properly in the drum.
The machine lid is on a slewing arm, which is swung across the drum opening and then
pressed down towards the drum. A microswitch in the control unit and also a Reed element in
the C240/C240R and C260/C260R models check that the lid is closed before the machine will
start.
Two rotation guards, a microswitch and the Reed element lock the lid so that it cannot be
opened until the drum had stopped. If the power supply is interrupted, e.g. by a power cut, it
will not be possible to open the lid until the power supply is restored.
The machine is controlled by means of three buttons on a control panel located to one side of
the lid.
The circuit board for automatic functions, lid lock, relays, transformer etc. are located in the
control unit. Access is easy once the cover is removed.
