Compression Roll Pressure Check
When atwork does not feed smoothly into the
ironing section, the pressure of the compression
roll may need to be adjusted.
It is important that there is sucient pressure
and that pressure is even from side to side. Too
little pressure will cause poor ironing quality; too
much pressure will cause premature wear of the
compression roll covers and padding.
WARNING
Specic procedures that
require the unit to be running
should be done with extreme
caution and attention
to detail.
Required Tools
Brown packing paper
Utility knife
Perform only when the unit is
RUNNING and COOL.
Use Extreme Caution.
1. Make sure the unit is completely cool. For
more information, refer to Shut-Down on
page 3-11.
2. Cut a piece of brown packing paper ap-
proximately 9” wide and 4’ long (230 mm
x 1200 mm).
3. Turn power ON at the main disconnect
switch.
4. Press the green START button. Turn the
SPEED knob to the slowest speed.
5. Feed the piece of paper under the com-
pression roll (Figure 7-14) on the left side
about one-quarter of the distance from the
endframe. Immediately pull back gently
on the paper.
6. You should feel the compression roll
pulling the paper into the ironing section,
but be able to pull back the paper without
tearing it. If there is uneven or no pres-
sure placed on the paper, or if the paper
tears, the compression roll pressure must
be adjusted.
7. Repeat Steps 5 and 6 at the middle of the
unit and on the right side about one quarter
of the distance from the endframe.
NOTE: Too little pressure in the
middle may indicate too much
pressure at the ends.
8. If pressure is uneven or nonexistent on the
paper, compression roll pressure must be
adjusted; refer to Compression Roll Pres-
sure Adjustment on page 7-18.
