INSTALL STEAM PIPING IN ACCORDANCE WITH

ALL LOCAL REGULATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS 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 conden-
sate 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.

Water pockets, or an improperly

“Y” STRAINER & THERMODYNAMIC TRAP
drained steam line (or header)
MAY BE SUBSTITUTED. will provide wet steam, causing
unnecessary wetting-out of buck
padding and improper operation
of steam iron.

Before installing check valve and trap w/built-in strainer, open globe valve in the sup-
ply 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 gravity-
returned 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 ac-
cording to manufacturers instructions.

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

 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.

 Remove iron (1), iron rest (2) and
steam hose (3) from carton.

A. Unwind iron cord which is wrapped

around iron handle.

B. Set iron on iron rest.

C. Slip steam hose (3) over iron steam

tube and tighten hose clamp (4).

D. Take steam hose (3) in one hand and

iron cord in other and wrap iron cord
around steam hose at least twelve
times. (see illustration on next page).

E . Press hose cord spring clip (5) around

iron cord to help hold cord in position.

 INSTALLATION
SET UP: Set unit in position and fasten securely to board. Slip support spring in position and fasten with set
screw. Fasten iron rest to board.

IMPORTANT: Before making steam return connections to unit, make steam supply connections. Remove all
drain plugs, open steam supply globe valve to steam-flush any borings, grindings or foreign matter that may be
clinging within casting or pipes. Close globe valve; replace drain plugs and make steam return connections.

Before attaching steam hose from steam-electric iron to solenoid valve, with steam pressure on unit operate
thumb switch several times to remove loose particles of scale or dirt, whick may become embedded in valve seat.
Then fasten steam hose to solenoid valve.

STEAM SUPPLY: Steam supply connection must fall towards machine (without water packets). Make connec-
tion with 12” or more riser out of steam supply line with union and globe valve. (NOTE: If machine is on the end
of a line of equipment, then extend steam header line at least four feet beyond machine. Install check valve and
trap at end of line. If gravity return omit trap.)

STEAM RETURN: If steam is returned to atmosphere or sewer, make steam return connection with union, globe
valve, check valve and trap with drain. If steam is gravity returned 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 traps carefully for inlet and outlet marks and install according to factory instruction.
BLOW SCALE AND DIRT FROM STEAM LINES BEFORE INSTALLING TRAP TO INSURE PROPER
OPERATION.)
WIRING: Check Voltage and current of solenoid valve MECHANICAL SPECIFICATIONS
and see that they correspond with power line before
making installation. Use irons with properly rated Boiler Horsepower - Approximately 1/8.

code in your area.
Steam Return - 1/2” Pipe Connection.
FOR THREE PHASE CURRENT: Connect two
wires from three phase supply to two Power Connec-
tions of outlet box.

IMPORTANT: Connect ground wire as shown and

check all wiring before closing switch.

IMPORTANT
Attach Steam Hose to Steam Tube as il-
lustrated. Push Steam Hose down on
Steam Tube just far enough beyond
swedge to allow Hose clamp connection.
Do not push Steam Hose all the way down
on Steam Tube as this will cause hose to
burn out.

MECHANICAL OPERATION
Place iron on rest. Turn toggle switch on (pilot light water. Wait until iron becomes hot then push electric thumb
