Code no. 550038
Rev. no. 16/1018
6. INITIAL START-UP OF THE MACHINE
CAUTION!
THE OPERATIONS DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY THE AUTHORISED
TECHNICAL SERVICE.
It is highly recommended to have the following measuring devices available to monitor the machine
during the initial start-up:
All models:
Multimeter. Reading range: from 0 to 1,000v AC.
Clamp ammeter. Reading range: higher than 300A AC.
Pressure gauge with flexible pipe outlet. Capable of measuring pressure and suction. Approximate length
of the pressure intake tube – 2 m (80in).
Models with gas heating:
Flue gas analyser. Suitable for the analysis required to comply with the legislation in the country where the
ironer is installed.
6.1. Initial checks
Check that all the transport fastenings have been removed and that the ironer is properly leveled in its final
location.
Check that the ends of the roll have been lubricated according to the instructions set out in Section 3.6.
Check that all the machine’s covers are fitted and secured correctly.
Check that the installation details relating to the sources of energy (electric, gas or steam, depending on the
model) match those on the machine’s specification nameplate.
Check that the vents and extraction ducts are constructed as shown in Chapters 3 and 4 of this manual.
Using the handle to operate the roll manually, check that the roll rotates without problems (Chapter 10).
Open the manual valve for the gas or steam supply circuit (depending on machine model).
Connect the switch breaker.
Start up the machine and select a program with a high temperature (approx. 100ºC / 200ºF) that will cause
the heating system to turn on (see directions in Chapters 7 and 8).
Check that the heating system is connected properly:
- Machines with gas heating:
Check through the viewer in the side cover that the burner lights up along its length, and that the flame
is blue, stable and uniform. If this is not the case, stop the ironing program immediately.
Check that the gas pressures correspond to the values indicated in the following sections.
- Machines with steam heating:
Check that the output from the safety valve is connected and that any possible leak can be evacuated
without risk.
Check that the steam supply pressure corresponds to the value indicated in the table in section 4.5.
Check that the solenoid valve opens and that the steam flows through the circuit.
- All models:
Check that the power consumption is in agreement with the values set out in the tables in Chapter 4.
If any anomaly is detected, stop the ironer immediately, disconnect the power supply and the gas or steam
inputs and inspect the installation.
Stop the machine from operating by pressing the key or the key, depending on the control, and
check that the heating system has been disconnected. On machines with gas heating, check that the burner
flame is completely extinguished.
