a 1 1/2 hp. (1119W) compressor will accomodate two boards.

INSTALLATION OF STEAM LINES

Steam supply line must fall towards machine (without water pockets.) Connect spotting board to steam
supply line with union, globe valve and 12" (or more) riser, as illustrated on previous page. If spotting board
is located at the end of stream line, extend line at least 4 feet beyond machine, and install a by-pass trap and
check valve as illustrated in dotted lines; if gravity return, omit trap.

Steam return line must fall towards boiler (without water pockets). Connect spotting board to steam return
line with a swing connection, unions, strainer, trap, check valve and 12" (or more) riser as illustrated on rever
se side. Inspect trap carefully for inlet and outlet markings and install swing connection, trap, and check valve
as close to machine as possible with trap as close to floor as practical.
Use a separate trap for the spotting board; keep it clean and in good working condition for best performance.
If steam line is gravity returned to boiler, omit trap.

IMPORTANT: Before installing trap and connecting steam return line, open globe valve in steam supply
connection and flush pipe dope, borings and other foreign matter, from steam connections and steam chamber
within spotting board. Failure to do this may later cause trap trouble.

VACUUM SPOTTING BOARD

VACUUM SPOTTING BOARD MECHANICAL OPERATION

Vacuum draws uniformly through the screen area on the nose of the board and the nose of the swinging sleeve board
by pressing on the middle foot pedal. By pushing the swinging sleeve board back, the vacuum operates on the nose of
the large board. By pulling the swinging sleeve board forward, vacuum operates on its nose. Changing the position of
the swinging sleeve board operates a self-cleaning valve which gives full unrestricted passage for vacuum at all times.

Steam is released from the spotting gun by pressing the left foot pedal as follows: a slight touch releases a feather of
dry steam; partly down releases dry steam; half-way down releases moist steam; completely down releases wet steam.

CAUTION: The steam emitted from the spray gun is very hot. Burns to face and hands may result from contact with
live steam.

Hot air for drying is released from the spotting gun by pressing the right foot pedal.

Automatic check valve releases all chemicals and water from vacuum chamber to an extra large drain recepticle. No
pipe line or sewage connection is needed.

Adjustable board for operator comfort from 37" to 44" in height. Loosen knob near top of the column, slide top
assembly up or down to desired height, then tighten knob.

MECHANICAL MAINTENANCE

CLEANING LARGE PAN ASSEMBLY
Lift chemical tray and large vitrelite glass from board.
Tap off nose band and perforated metal, clean with steam gun.
Clean pan of all dirt, lint and chemicals.
Open drain holes with a hairpin or pointed instrument. It is important that these drain holes are open in order that the
vacuum can extract any liquids that form in the pan.

CLEANING SWINGING ARM ASSEMBLY
Lift out small green vitrelite glass by finger hole at back of pan.
Remove perforated metal.
Clean with steam gun.
Clean pan or all dirt, lint and chemicals (use steam gun).
Open drain holes (in pan) with a hairpin or pointed instrument.

VACUUM SEAL
The rubber air-foam gasket around pipe of top assembly at top of column is a seal to help create a stronger vacuum.
Should this gasket become loose, re-cement into position.

CHECK VALVE
Inspect and clean check valve located above drain receptacle. Liquids separated from the vacuum exhaust within the
column are automatically drained from board by check valve.
Lift drain receptacle up and out for emptying.

UPPER AND LOWER SLIDE
A few drops of oil on the upper and lower slides of the swinging arm assembly will permit easier
operation.
