Operating Instructions These instructions will provide the best shirt pressing quality and prolong padding life. Pre-Operating Services Perform the following services daily before using the press: 1. Check condition of buck padding and air bags. Replace if: Cover is scorched or torn. Air bags have holes.

Padding Padding is very important to garment quality. Air bags which are worn or made from improper material cannot give good results. Bag and cover assemblies purchased from different suppliers can affect shirt quality. Thirty ounce (30 oz.) flannel padding (manufactured from reprocessed nylon) is originally provided with the press.
Operation Quality Troubleshooting Refer to Figure 20. Trouble Probable Cause Damp patches 1. Cycle time too short. on sleeve 2. Boiler pressure too low. (item 1) 3. Faulty trap or check valve in steam return line from condensate tank. 4. Steam supply coming from bottom of header, no riser.

General This section contains information and instructions required to perform periodic inspections and lubricate the press. Shutdowns due to unscheduled maintenance can be avoided or minimized by: performing periodic inspections as described performing lubrication services at the time intervals specified in these instructions. The following are recommended precautions that service personnel must understand and apply when performing general periodic maintenance tasks.
Cleaning Air Filter Air filters remove foreign matter and condensate from supply air as it passes through filter. The frequency at which the filter baffle plate and filter element should be cleaned depends upon the amount of condensate and foreign matter in the supply air. The condensate level should not raise above the baffle.
Maintenance Monthly Lubrication Refer to Figure 21 and Figure 22. Lubrication Type of Lubricant Point (A) Sleeve expander ISO VG 32 grade oil rod cylinders (B) Collar block Ajax hi-temp lubricant Disconnect air line from collar block at base of buck. Dispense 4 C) Buck indexing ISO VG 32 grade oil cylinder...
Filling Air Line Lubricator IMPORTANT: To avoid o-ring leaks at the top of the bowl, do not remove bowl. Fill through the oil fill hole. Refer to item 2, Figure 23. When oil level falls below 1/4 full, refill the bowl to 3/4 full (oil level approximately 1/2 inch [12.7 mm] from top) with SAE 10 weight non detergent oil (refer to ).
