REMINDER located in the front of
this manual.
Feed Ribbon Tension Adjustment
Adjust the tension of the feed ribbons when
they sag or track to one side of the ironing section.
These conditions cause excessive wear on the
ribbons and shorten their life.
1. Turn the power OFF at the main discon-
nect switch.
2. Open both end frame doors. The unit will
not operate while the safety interlock
switches are open. As a temporary mea-
sure during this work, defeat the safety
interlock switch in each end frame.
3. Locate the adjusting screws (Figure 7-2,
A) inside both end frames which secure
each feed ribbon drive roll bearing in po-
sition.
WARNING
The safety interlock switches
are only to be defeated
temporarily while the
procedure is being done.
Never operate the unit unless
all safety systems are
working correctly.
Serious Injury Could Result.
4. Loosen the locknuts (B), while
holding the screws in place, and adjust
each screw the same number of turns
clockwise until the ribbons are snug
against the drive roll.
