2.2 Instructions for use
Figure 2.1
ATTENTION! It is best to do the most common adjustments and knife replacements when the saddle is stopped, see figure 2.1
Start up and shut down
1. All machine guards and covers on the machine must be closed. Make sure that starting the machine will not pose any danger.
2. Testing of safety equipment: See the chapter on safety issues.
3. Note that before the machine is started, you must open for the flow of water. The machine is started by pressing the Start button in the control box and stopped by pressing the Stop button in the control box. Emergency stop button / bar should normally only be used to stop the machine in an emergency as such stopping can cause unnecessary stress on the variable speed drive of the machine.
4. If you need to adjust the position of the fish in the saddle or the fish is placed incorrectly in the machine, so that the resistance is sufficient to cause the saddle conveyor to stop you can reverse the saddle back out of the filleting area with the „Back“ (9) button in the control box. Correct the position of the fish and/or remove that, which has caused the saddle conveyor to stop. Press the start button in the control box. Loosen the springs from the infeed, push the infeed apart, lift the measuring device and then reverse.
5. Free-flow speed control: Increase the speed by pushing the „Faster“ button (7) in the control box.
Speed can be decreased by pressing the „Slower“ (8) button. See diagram. The speed control will lock when you release the button.
Processing method
6. Fish, that has been beheaded/ gutted in the M500 beheading machine or equivalent, is taken from the supply belt.
7. The abdominal cavity of the fish must be clean and free of all intestines and shell fragments. Abdomen faces down and the tail faces to wards the infeed plates when the fish is laid into the slide that the saddles follow.
8. When the saddle comes up and runs past the user, the fish needs to be held so that the bottom of the abdomen meets the tip of the saddle and the fish can even be pushed slightly against the flow direction of the saddle so that the fish sits properly and securely in the saddle before it enters into the filleting machine.
The user monitors how much pressure is needed in relation to the quality of fillet from the machine.
See figure 2.3
9. The saddles conveys the fish forward to filleting through the infeed, filleting and separating areas.

CAUTION!
The fish is released when the tail enters the infeed.
Figure 2.2
It is extremely important that the saddle is aligned with the end of the abdomen, otherwise the measurement will be wrong, resulting in filleting flaws. It is also important that the spinal column lies between the cog pieces of the saddle, otherwise there will be flaws in the fillet!
