MACHINE CONTROLS There is one switch on the icreaseAIR the main power. Everything else is controlled by the Touch Screen. MAIN POWER On the operator side cover at the top on the right side is the main power button . This is the on and off power for the machine. -
Page 10: Pulsed Feed Controls
PULSED FEED CONTROLS The feed button is the control of a pulsed suction valve that allows the machine to fully control the feed of the paper. This mode of operations is a much more consistent way to run the machine. While the output speed is slower the end result is much more user friendly feed. -

Page 21: Adjusting Feed Rails
ADJUSTING THE FEED RAILS The feed rails on your icreaseAIR are designed to adjust easily in case of a problem with crooked feeding. By loosening the feed rail alignment lock knobs you can move each rail independently to square them to your stock. To maintain an accurate perf or score, it is important to get the rails as aligned and snug to the sheet as possible without “squeezing”... -
Page 22: Setting The Automatic Feeder
SQUARING THE FEED RAILS The constant fine tuning of the rails will make it necessary to bring the rails back to true “square”. To do this, take a sheet of 8 1/2 x 11” cover stock and place it in the feed table against the operator side guide. -
Page 23: Height Adjustment Caliper
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT CALIPER The caliper setting is what ensures the feeding of one sheet and prevents the feeding of double sheets. It is very important that this caliper be set correctly. To set the caliper take one sheet of the stock you are running and slide it between the caliper and vacuum wheel. -
Page 24: Loading The Feeder
• The icreaseAIR is capable of running 20lb. single sheets, 4-part forms and 100 lb cover. It is also very capable of handling gloss, coated, and even laminated stocks. Its flexibility is directly related to the operator’s experience. -
Page 25: Checking The Sensor
4. If all above steps work correctly, the sensor is working properly, if not, contact the MBM Corporation service department. DRIVE CHAIN TENSION The chain that drives the upper crease die in time will stretch. This is a common occurrence in chains. -
Page 26: Removing The Perf Shaft To Change Configurations
REMOVING THE PERF SHAFT (Changing the position of the lower assemblies) Turn the power off and unplug the machine. You may want to remove the upper assemblies before you begin to get them out of the way as the rollers are spring loaded and will give pressure on the lower rollers. -
Page 27: Rotary Perf & Score Assembly
PERFORATING AND SCORING Your icreaseAIR will come equipped with 1 Perf and 1 Score assembly standard. Up to 4 perf or score assemblies can be used at the same time. Perf and Score assemblies require the corresponding Perf or Score lower hub assembly in order to function properly. - Page 28 Setting the Perf Blade When locating the perf blade to where you would like to perf you must make sure that you can move the lower assembly and upper assembly to the location you want to perf. This may require moving the rubber gripper wheels or other upper and lower assemblies.
- Page 29 SCORING Just as in setting the perforation on your machine setting the score may require you to move around gripper wheels and other assemblies in order to set up your score in the proper location. The score upper assembly will look similar to the perf upper assembly without a safety guard covering the blade.

Page 30: Component Identification
PERFORATING AND SCORING ASSEMBLIES For removing and old blade and attaching a new blade to the pressure adjust mounting bracket, remove the (1) button head cap screw. BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE SET SCREW SECURELY TO THE BAR. Once you have the upper and lower perf assemblies in place, you can tighten the half dog screw. -
Page 31: Gripper Wheel Perf Score Mounting
Position your score blade as desired. Scores should be made so that the blade runs on the side of the sheet that will be on the inside of the finished fold. Scores may be made on the icreaseAIR in three different ways using the different grooves on the lower score assembly. -

Page 33: Adjusting Rac Rollers (Depth Of Crease)
ADJUSTING THE RAC ROLLERS The RAC rollers are set from the factory and it is NOT recommended to make any adjustments to this without consulting with MBM’s tech-support department. Should an adjustment be necessary, please follow the steps below. Loosen the small bearing block lock screws. This allows very slight adjustments of the bearing block to be made by loosening the thumb lock and turning the height adjustment screw in the middle of the bearing block. -
Page 34: Troubleshooting
TROUBLE SHOOTING POWER DOES NOT TURN ON • 1. Check circuit breaker on rear panel. 2. Check outlet for power. TRANSPORT “LOCKS UP” AFTER CREASING • 1. Turn the crease bar over to wide groove. 2. Increase pressure of forwarding rollers by turn the shaft clockwise to increase the pressure.
