Operation

Break-In Adjustments

As new press is used, working surfaces “seat-in” and friction decreases. This usually results in increased working speed.

These conditions are considered normal in a new press and do not indicate a need for constant maintenance. This initial “break-in” period will vary with usage, but generally occurs during the first week of operation. At this time the following items should be inspected and adjusted if necessary.

1.Recheck the level of press. This is especially important if press is located on wooden flooring.

WARNING

To AVOID possible serious injury, BEFORE performing maintenance or repair tasks:

Shut off AND lock out ALL electric power to the press.

Shut off AND lock out ALL steam service to the press.

Allow heated surfaces to cool.

2.Simultaneously press both buck in buttons to send buck into cabinet and close heads. Check alignment of collar block in head cutout. Check snorkel alignment. Refer to Figure 6. Make adjustments if required.

3.Adjust buck in travel speed. If buck is traveling too fast or bottoms out shock absorber, slow indexing cylinder down.

4.Check operation of all operating controls.

5.Inspect press for loose bolts, screws, pipe fittings and carriage rollers, especially on the buck carriage.
