3.2 Operating Controls
All operating controls are externally mounted
on the front of the end frames and clearly marked
with functional names. References to these
functions are capitalized in this instruction manual
for easy identification. Detailed descriptions are
given in the following paragraphs.
Right End Frame Controls
The following operating controls (Figure 3-6)
are located at the front of the right end frame:
• START button (A)
• DELIVERY lever (on Type R units) (B)
• STOP button (C)
• SPEED knob (D)
• SPEED display (E)
• JOG switch (F)
START button (A):
Begins the start-up and operation of the unit.
A green indicator lamp, located under the switch
surface, lights when the green START button is
pushed. This indicates that power is connected
to motors. All rotating parts, including the ironing
cylinder, feed ribbons, and return ribbons begin to
move. Power will be present at the DELIVERY
lever.
DELIVERY lever (B):
Found on Type R units only and is used to
direct the dried and ironed flatwork to the front
or rear of the unit. Finished flatwork can be
delivered to the front receiving shelf for hand
folding by setting the DELIVERY lever to
FRONT.
If a separate automatic folding unit has been
installed at the rear of the unit, this folder is fed
by setting the DELIVERY lever to REAR.
STOP button (C):
Provided to help ensure operator safety and to
prevent damage to the unit. There are four red
STOP buttons, one on the front and rear of each
end frame. Pressing a red STOP button causes
all moving parts to stop, and the unit is left in a
standby state.
SPEED knob (D):
Varies the speed of the unit. Turning the
SPEED knob clockwise causes flatwork to be
processed at a faster speed. When the knob is
rotated counterclockwise, flatwork is processed
at a slower speed.
For more information within this chapter on
determining the proper operating speeds for
different types of flatwork, proceed to the
Operating Techniques section,
Processing
Standards procedure.
SPEED display (E):
Shows the approximate speed of flatwork
traveling through the unit in feet-per-minute, and
is controlled by the SPEED knob.
