1. Turn off the automatic external switch.
2. Insert the red end of the crank handle through the
opening in the top left-hand side cover of the machine
and insert it into the end of the internal shaft (Fig. 10.3).
3. Turn the handle in the direction of the arrow. The roll will
rotate in the ironing direction, the ironing straps and the
linen input straps will move towards the inside of the
ironer.
NOTE: For PB/PBP51 models prior to machine number
2,190,306 and X20***W/F models prior to machine
number 2,210,033, turn the handle in the direction of the
arrow. (Fig 10.3). The roll will rotate in the ironing

4. VERY IMPORTANT!!! Before resuming operation
of the machine, remove the handle and store it in its
support at the rear of the machine (Fig. 10.1).
Handle decoupling
The roll rotation crank handle is equipped with a helical end, causing it to decouple from the shaft should the
machine start up unexpectedly, thereby avoiding possible accidents.

10.2. Prolonged stoppages

In the case of the machine being out of use for a prolonged length of time and to avoid corrosion of the roll
surface, we recommend to place a piece, folded in half and impregnated with paraffin, inside the machine
numerous times. This operation must be carried out when the ironer is at a suitable temperature (minimum of
130°C, 260ºF) to allow for the paraffin to liquefy.
