Operation
18.Using your left hand, grasp the left sleeve just next to the yoke. Pull the shirt to your left and off the buck. As the right side of shirt clears the buck, position the fingers of your right hand so they catch the left side of shirt and slide to the right of the yoke. This opens the shirt and supports it so it can easily drape over collar form. Refer to Figure 19.

Operating Tips
Shirt Quality
The CSBBYMV gives a high volume professional finish to sleeves, bosom, body, sides and yoke of shirts. To achieve best shirt quality and volume:
●Extract shirts to obtain 40% to 50% moisture retention.
●Keep press padding in good condition.
Too much moisture in shirts will increase pressing cycle time, reduce shirt production and padding life. Too little moisture will cause poor shirt finish.
Checking Moisture Retention in Shirts
Moisture retention is the percentage increase in weight of a load of shirts after they are washed and extracted.
To check moisture retention:
●Weigh a load of dry shirts.
●Wash and extract shirts and then weigh them again.
The percentage increase in weight is the moisture retention for that load.
Example: A load of shirts weighs 50 pounds
(22.68 kg) dry. After being washed and extracted, that same load weighs 70 to 75 pounds (31.75 to 34.02 kg). The difference in weight is 20 to 25 pounds (9.07 to
11.34kg). The percentage of added weight is the difference over the dry weight or 20/50 and 25/50 which is 40%/50%.
Extract times required for optimum moisture retention will vary by washer. Always test several loads of shirts when determining extract and conditioning times.
Shirt fabric also affects moisture retention. One hundred percent (100%) cotton shirts will hold more moisture than cotton/poly blended shirts.
NOTE: Do NOT judge moisture by touch. Warm shirts feel dryer than cold shirts.
Shirt Quality Troubleshooting
Most quality related problems are due to:
●Worn base pads, padding, and air bags.
●Incorrect dressing techniques (refer to Operating Instructions).
●Incorrect moisture retention.
●Improper steam pressure.
Refer to Table 2 for problems and recommended solutions.
