Compression Roll Cover
Replacement
NOTE: Read the Pink
Operator Safety sheet,
COMPRESSION ROLL PADS
AND COVERS REMINDER
located in the front of this manual.
The cover on the compression roll must be
replaced when the cover material is worn smooth
or if flatwork does not move easily into the ironing
section when the compression roll pressure has
been adjusted correctly.
1. Make sure the unit has completely cooled
down. For more information within this
manual, go back to the OPERATING
GUIDELINES chapter, Daily
Operating Procedures section,
Shut-
Down procedure.
2. Release the compression roll spring-loaded
handles inside each end frame (Figure
7-22).
3. Make sure that the replacement cover is
the correct size. See the PARTS LIST.
Each cover is the length of the cylinder
and is made up of three sections:
•
White Lead Cloth: approximately 21"
(530 mm)
•
Pad: 19" (480 mm)
•
Tan Cover: approximately 24"
(610 mm)
4. Nomex 1/2" (13 mm) tie tape and proper
cement will be required in order to secure
the compression roll cover in place. Make
sure that these materials are available.
5. Use a staple puller to remove the staples
holding the ends of the guide tapes to-
gether. Move the guide tapes out of the
way.
6. Remove the red safety finger guard at the
front of the unit in the following manner:
a) Open the right end frame and remove
the two bolts which hold the guard in
place.
b) Open the left end frame and remove
the top bolt.
CAUTION
Take care not to damage
the safety switch that
rides on the lower bolt in
the end frames.
c) The bottom left bolt will slide out of
the left end frame with the guard. Care-
fully remove the guard.
WARNING
With the safety finger guard
removed, the only means of
stopping the unit is by
pushing one of the red
STOP buttons. At least two
qualified people are
necessary to perform the
repair work required. Use the
“buddy” system, with the
second person operating the
START and STOP buttons.
7. The unit will not operate while the safety
interlock switches are open. As a tempo-
rary measure during this procedure, de-
feat the door switch in each end frame.
Perform only when the unit is OFF
(with power disconnected) and COOL.
