4.

Improper air bags installed on buck.

Check air pressure gauge on discharge tube when buck

 

 

 

is in pressing position and blower is on. If air pressure

 

 

 

gauge does not read between .7 and 1 psi, replace air

Operator is over-spraying garment.

Instruct operator to use less water spray.

 

 

 

 

 

6.

Insufficient temperature at heat exchanger.

Either heat exchanger trap or check valve is faulty and

 

 

 

needs repair or replacement; or steam pressure to press

 

 

 

is lower than 115 psi (7.92 bar).

 

 

 

 

 

7.

Collapsed hoses in blower air system.

Check ALL hoses in blower air system. Check for

 

 

 

collapsed inner wall by removing hose from machine.

 

 

 

Straighten hose and look through hose from one end to
