3.5.2 Clean Gap Pieces
Before placing the ironing modules, the gap piece(s) must be cleaned. There is a protective coating
applied during the manufacturing process that protects the finely polished surface during ship-
ping.
Carefully remove the plastic covering, making sure that all plastic covering has been completely
removed.
Thoroughly wipe down the entire gap piece using a clean, dry lint-free cloth. Do not use solvents
or abrasives during this process. Make sure the entire surface is cleaned of protectant.
3.5.3 Placement and Alignment
WARNING! Modules are heavy. Ensure that proper equipment and personnel are available
to prevent injury or damage. Modules should only be moved by qualified machinery riggers
using correct equipment.
Each module section has a chest and roll arrangement and up to 4 modules can be combined. Keep
in mind the following terminology:
• The front module contains the controls and electrical connection.
• The center module(s), if necessary, include no extra equipment.
• The rear module contains the boiler, gas connection and compressed air connection.
Place the sections beginning with the rear module, then the center modules if so equipped and
finally the front module. Once the rear module is placed, the position of the ironer becomes fixed.
3.5.4 Moving the Ironer to Location

The modules can be moved by using a fork lift or a crane with an appropriate sling system. The
weight of the modules can be found in the technical data of the ironer. The minimum required
entrance dimensions are:
Type 800: 71 x 71in (1800 x 1800mm)
Type 1200: 87 x 71in (2200 x 1800mm)
For single roller ironers the minimum required entrance dimensions are:
Type 800: 83 x 71in (2100 x 1800mm)
Type 1200: 99 x 71in (2500 x 1800mm)
