B&C Technologies IS Series Commercial Ironer - Manual (Page 32)

To prevent hot spots make sure they are feeding sheets sideways so they cover the entire cylinder,
feeding narrower single sheets lengthwise leaves a lot of unworked surface at the ends of they
cylinder which will overheat and damage the belts. Feeding in lanes causes the same problem.
5.1.3 General Problems
Ironer will not start or stops suddenly
-Make sure the Emergency Stop button isn’t pressed.
-Check the hand/finger guard.
-Check that all panels are in place and attached.
Ironer makes unusual noises
If the ironer makes unusual noises (rubbing, grinding, banging, etc.) properly shutdown the ma-
chine and contact a qualified service technician. Remember to follow all lock-out/tag-out proce-
dures.
5.2 Periodic Maintenance
Daily
Inspect the temperature pick up sled and the cylinder. Remove debris if present.
Make sure the temperature pick up sled is in full contact with the ironing cylinder.
At shut down, wipe machine down with a mild cleaning agent and vacuum or sweep up any lint
that has accumulated. Lint is highly flammable!
Weekly
Inspect safety labels and replace any that are damaged, worn, or illegible.
Inspect the guide ribbons (guide tape) for damaged or missing ribbons. Replace as necessary.
Remove lint from the combustion blower intake filter located on the left end under the cylinder.
Monthly
Grease all bearings using a high quality polyurea grease (Darmex 77 or equivalent).
Inspect feed belts for proper tension. There should be no slippage as the ironer runs. Do not over
tighten the feed belts, as this will cause premature wear.
Inspect the return belts for proper tension. Return belts tend to elongate after initial startup and
wear in.
Inspect and lubricate the drive chain and gears.
