completing the procedure. Refer to the

Make sure the DISCHARGE CONVEY-
OR UP/DOWN switch is in the DOWN
position.
Turn power OFF at the main disconnect
switch.
Move the unit away from the ironer to
provide adequate working room.

bons following the Discharge Conveyor

Pull the worn ribbons around their tracks
until all the lacing clips are accessible and
aligned at the back of the unit.
Remove the connecting pin from an old
ribbon and attach a new ribbon to one
end.
WARNING

pulling the ribbons through.
This is dangerous and
unnecessary.

flow.
