INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: This machine should be installed by qualified service personnel only.

1. Uncrate the machine. Check the nameplate voltage and current; match it with the power
being connected.

2. Set the machine in position and bolt to floor.

3. Connect Water Spray Gun to machine. Remove the Lint Screen to access the connection.
Open the valve on the Condenser and replace the Lint Screen.

4. Connect steam supply line as shown in illustration.

5. Connect steam return line as shown. NOTE: Before final return line connection is made,
open the steam supply valve and blow all foreign matter out of the steam lines. Failure to
do so will cause trap to leak.

6. Make electrical connections in junction box on rear of machine, following applicable electric
codes. Include a fused disconnect switch or circuit breaker with slow-blow characteristics
and be capable of carrying 15 amps, 115 volts or 8 amps, 230 volts.

7. Install the revolving form on the machine.

8. Turn on the electric power to machine. Remove the plastic cover from the bag. Open the
steam lines.

9. Test the machine, following the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS in this manual.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Please read these warnings before operating or servicing machine.

CAUTION: This machine emits hot steam. To prevent burns, avoid contact with hot steam. Before
service machine, close steam supply valve and purge lines.

CAUTION: Shut off electrical supply before servicing to avoid electrical shock.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Machine can be operated from any side. Position foot switches at convenient location.

2. Place garment on form. Adjust shoulder form width by turning knob in either direction. The Mr.
Cissell form requires adjustment of the Waist, Hip and Lower control knobs. After adjusting lock
the controls by twisting the knobs clockwise.

3. Press the AIR foot switch to operate the blower for sizing the form bag. Size the bag by adjusting
the DAMPER CONTROL. Using the Control Panel, press the MODE SELECT until the AIR light
glows and press START/CANCEL to operate the blower, then proceed with sizing the bag.

4. Set the three control timers to the recommended settings:

Steaming: 6-9 seconds
Conditioning: 4-9 seconds

Drying: 12-16 seconds
These settings should be fine-tuned to the particular garment, steam pressure and ambient
conditions. The recommended cycle is the steam/air conditioning and the drying. The control will
power up in this cycle.

5. This machine has the ability to pre-steam a garment prior to the automatic finishing cycle. To
actuate this cycle, press the MODE SELECT pad until the PRE-STEAM LIGHT glows, then press
START. Using the foot switch, press PRE-STEAM.

6. If a cycle is operating, it can be cancelled at any time by pressing any foot switch or control panel
pads.

REMEDY

Open valve in steam supply line.
Check for blown fuse, tripped
circuit breaker or loose wire
connection. Tighten wire nuts and
restore power.
Disconnect power and measure coil
resistance. A good coil should be
between 50-125 hms. Replace coil if
not within these parameters.

shaft. Turn shaft to maximum
counter-clockwise position. Attach
knob to shaft pointing to 0 and
tighten set screw.

Open damper.
See item 1D.
Disconnect and measure resistance
of relay coil. A good coil should be
between 240-360 ohms. Replace
coil if not within these parameters.
Check wheel by moving by hand. If
wheel rubs or is stuck, loosen the
set screws and align the wheel on
the shaft. Tighten set screws.
Measure the resistance of the black
and white wires on the motor
terminal board. They should be
between 5-20 ohms. Replace motor
if not within these parameters.
If relay, blower wheel, and motor
are good, replace motor.

Replace valve.
Check size and operation of trap.
Refer to the Installation Instruc­tions and make corrections in
installation if needed. Replace trap
if defective.
Check for proper installation.
Replace if bad.
Clean or replace as needed.

REVOLVING FORM ADJUSTMENT

If the Revolving Form drags on the base rather than turning freely, it must be raised. First remove
the form by lifting it straight up off the base. Then loosen the Bearing Locknut and turn the Bearing
Adjustment Screw counter-clockwise. Check adjustment by replacing form and rotate. Repeat
adjustment if needed.

If Revolving Form is too high above base, steam will escape from between the base and the bottom of
the form. To correct, first remove form from the base. Then loosen the Bearing Locknut and turn the
Bearing Adjustment Screw clockwise. Replace form on the base and check adjustment. Repeat if
needed.

MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATION

Change the air filter located on the rear of the machine at least every six months depending on the use
and environmental conditions. See the parts section of this manual for the replacement part number.
