Operating Guidelines

INLET PAUSE ON/OFF switch (D)
When in the ON position, briefly pauses an
item on the inlet conveyor if it is fed too closely
to the previous item.
If the unit is equipped with the Inlet Ribbon
Delay option, this control is a push button which
allows the operator to activate the inlet conveyor
before the programmed delay time has elapsed.

STAIN/TEAR REJECT button (E)
Keeps a defective piece from being folded.
Pressing the button overrides the various fold
settings and causes the piece to be discharged at
the rear of the unit. The button should be pushed
as soon as the defective piece is fed into the
machine.
ADVANCE CONVEYOR button (F)
Moves the ribbons on the return and side
conveyors, regardless of the current stack size.
It also resets the Stack Count.
JOG REVERSE button (G)
Moves the ribbons of the Air Chicago backward.
This should only be used briefly to clear a jam.
WARNING
Never put hands into the
machine while the power is
on. This is dangerous and
unnecessary.
Safety STOP button (H)
Provided to help ensure operator safety and to
prevent damage to the unit. There are three red
safety STOP buttons, one at the left front of the
unit and two at the rear.
When pressed, these stop all machine moving
parts and lock out operation of the machine. A
red safety STOP button stays pressed down until
manually reset by twisting.
Before restarting the unit, correct the problem
that resulted in the red safety STOP button being
pressed.
NOTE:
JOG REVERSE will not
operate when a red safety STOP
button is pushed.
Pacing Light (Option) (I)
Gives operators a visual reference to help
assure consistent flatwork processing.

minute has been met.
Red

is slower than programmed; steady in
MANUAL mode to indicate a program
is not being used.
The feed rate is adjustable. For more information,
refer to the
