18. Using your left hand, grasp the left sleeve just

next to the yoke. Pull the shirt to your left and off
the buck. As the right side of shirt clears the
buck, position the fingers of your right hand so
they catch the left side of shirt and slide to the
right of the yoke. This opens the shirt and
supports it so it can easily drape over collar form.
Refer to Figure 19.

Operating Tips

Shirt Quality

The CSBBYMV gives a high volume professional
finish to sleeves, bosom, body, sides and yoke of
shirts. To achieve best shirt quality and volume:

Extract shirts to obtain 40% to 50% moisture
retention.

Keep press padding in good condition.

Too much moisture in shirts will increase pressing
cycle time, reduce shirt production and padding life.
Too little moisture will cause poor shirt finish.

Checking Moisture Retention in Shirts

Moisture retention is the percentage increase in weight
of a load of shirts after they are washed and extracted.

To check moisture retention:

Weigh a load of dry shirts.

Wash and extract shirts and then weigh them
again.

The percentage increase in weight is the moisture
retention for that load.

Example: A load of shirts weighs 50 pounds
(22.68 kg) dry. After being washed and extracted, that
same load weighs 70 to 75 pounds (31.75 to 34.02 kg).
The difference in weight is 20 to 25 pounds (9.07 to
11.34 kg). The percentage of added weight is the
difference over the dry weight or 20/50 and 25/50
which is 40%/50%.

Extract times required for optimum moisture retention
will vary by washer. Always test several loads of shirts
when determining extract and conditioning times.
Shirt fabric also affects moisture retention. One
hundred percent (100%) cotton shirts will hold more
moisture than cotton/poly blended shirts.

NOTE: Do NOT judge moisture by touch. Warm
shirts feel dryer than cold shirts.

Shirt Quality Troubleshooting

Most quality related problems are due to:

Worn base pads, padding, and air bags.

Incorrect dressing techniques (refer to Operating
Instructions
).

Incorrect moisture retention.

Improper steam pressure.

Refer to Table 2 for problems and recommended
solutions.
