Installation Instructions

Make Steam Supply and

Steam Return Connections

as Illustrated

Whenever possible, horizontal
runs of steam connections must
drain by gravity to respective
Steam Holder. Portions that
drain by gravity, to machine,
without pockets.

Each Steam Holder must drain,
by gravity, to boiler or conden­sate return tank.

To prevent condensate draining
from Steam Holders to machine,
make steam connections to each
respective Header with a 12 Inch
(or more) vertical riser. Do not
make steam connections to a
Header with a horizontal or
downwardly facing tee or elbow.

Y STRAINER & THERMODYNAMIC TRAP
MAY BE SUBSTITUTED.

Before installing check valve and trap w/built-in strainer, open globe valve in the sup­ply line and allow to flush out any foreign matter that may be in the casting and pipes.
This will help assure proper operation of trap when installed. If steam is gravity­returned to boiler, omit trap but install check valve in return line near machine.

NOTE: For successful operation of machine, install trap as close to floor and as near
machine as possible. Inspect trap carefully for inlet and outlet marks and install ac­cording to manufacturers instructions.

IMPORTANT: A separate steam trap should be used with each machine.

Water pockets, or an improperly
drained steam line (or header)
will provide wet steam, causing
unnecessary wetting-out of buck
padding and improper operation
of steam iron.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Make certain that steam supply, steam return, and electrical connections have been
made per installation instructions.

2. Open steam supply and return valves for the finishing board. If iron lowboy has a
separate steam supply and return valves, open them also. Allow finishing board to
preheat for at least 15 minutes. (30 minutes preheating time will ensure a hot
buck).

3. Turn on the electrical switch for the iron and lowboy, so the iron can be heating
also.

4. After preheating, if the board is hooked into a central vacuum system, make
certain that it is operating. If the board is provided with steam vacuum, make
certain that it is operating.

5. Depress the iron thumb switch and observe the steam flow through the iron lowboy.
Open or close the steam valve until desired flow is achieved.

6. Place garment to be finished on the buck. Vacuum or upstream may be applied to
the entire buck surface immediately by depressing the appropriate foot pedal.
(Although both foot pedals can be depressed together, the vacuum is inoperative
when upsteaming is being performed). Iron garment using vacuum and/or up
stream as required, until desired garment finish is achieved.

7. The swinging sleeve board (if so equipped) may be used in any position over the
buck.
