Location Requirements

NOTE: If a forklift is used to move press, exercise care that forklift arms are inserted under frame and DO NOT CONTACT ANY OPERATING MECHANISM.

Moving press to installation location while still attached to skid is recommended. However, press can be removed from skid before moving.

Removing Press from Skid

Unscrew four shipping screws from attaching holes. Using a forklift, lift press and remove skid.

Press should be located in an area that provides a minimum of 24 inches (61 cm) between press and any structure.

NOTE: Above dimensions are considered MINIMUM working and maintenance dimensions and SHOULD BE INCREASED if possible.

Space between front of table and closest structure should be determined by work requirements, but in no case should be less than 30 inches (76.2 cm).

Foundation Requirements

Install press on a solid, level floor such as concrete.

NOTE: Installation on a wooden floor can cause machine to shift, which WILL result in MISALIGNMENT of heads and bucks and DAMAGE to both press and garments.

Floor should be capable of supporting 125 pounds per square foot (56.7 kg). Remove all floor covering material (tile, wood, carpeting, etc.) from press mounting area.

Uncrating

WARNING

To avoid possible serious injury:

•ALWAYS be careful to AVOID spring- loaded components when working inside press.

•Installation MUST be performed ONLY by qualified service personnel.

W336

Remove front cover from press and use a hammer to knock out shipping brace.

Installation

Installing Anchor Bolts and Levelling Press

After press is in position, attach and level it to floor with four anchor bolts (obtain locally). Using the frame base anchor bolt holes as a template, drill four holes in floor. Holes must be drilled deep enough to properly install bolts in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions. Securely tighten anchor bolts.

Ensure press is level front and back, as well as left and right. Place a spirit level on top of frame. If press is not level, raise and lower corners as required. Place sufficient shims between press frame and floor. Shims should be sized to make maximum contact with floor and frame to distribute weight evenly. Use industrial grout if necessary.

NOTE: Prior to bolting to floor, shim press frame to eliminate rocking.Connecting Steam Supply and Returns(Refer to Figure 8)

NOTE: Clean out ALL pipe lines BEFORE connecting them to press. Failure to properly install suitable traps and check valves AND supply correct steam pressure WILL REDUCE operating efficiency.

Steam supply connected to press must have a constant pressure of 115 psig (7.9 bar).

The following steps outline the procedure for connecting steam supply and return lines to press:

1.Run a 1/2 NPT steam supply to steam supply connection with suitable black iron pipe, elbows, strainer, ball valve and union.

NOTE: A MINIMUM 3 inch (7.62 cm) riser should be installed off supply header to minimize water in steam supply to press.

NOTE: It is recommended that a steam strainer be installed between steam supply and press.

2.Install two suitable 1/2 NPT unions, steam traps, check valves and one ball valve between steam return connections and steam return lines.

NOTE: Cast iron inverted bucket traps are recommended. Size traps according to steam pressure and consumption found in Specifications in Table 1.
