WARNING
Never turn on power while
pulling the ribbons through.
This is dangerous and
unnecessary.
Push the ribbon along its path under the
doffer rolls and around the drive and
idler rolls. Make sure to give each ribbon
a 1/2 right twist on the underside of the
discharge conveyor (Figure 7-36).
Bring the ends of the ribbon together and
connect them with a new pin.
Repeat Steps 6 to 8 to replace additional
ribbons. Stagger the positions of the lacing
clips to give the flatwork a smooth flow.
NOTE: If the remaining ribbons
are being replaced, refer to
the Replacing Worn Ribbons
procedure.
Adjust ribbon tension following the Dis-
charge Ribbon Tension Adjustment
procedure earlier in this section.
Move the unit back into position.

Discharge Conveyor Guide Ribbons
Tension Adjustment/Replacement
Tension on the discharge conveyor guide
ribbons cannot be adjusted mechanically because
each ribbon in the set has an elasticized insert
(Figure 7-37) which makes it self-adjusting.
If these ribbons lose their proper tension and/
or begin to slip, the inserts should be replaced.
When the cotton ribbons show excessive wear,
they should also be replaced.
Required Tools
pliers
Perform only when the unit is OFF
with power disconnected.
Verify the replacement ribbons are the
correct size and of sufficient quantity for
completing the procedure. Refer to the
PARTS LIST
.
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.
WARNING
Never turn on power while
pulling the ribbons through.
This is dangerous and
unnecessary.
Rotate each ribbon by hand to locate the
connection points between the cotton rib-
bon and the elastic insert.
Remove the connecting pin and attach one
end of the new elastic insert. Repeat for
the other end.
Move the unit back into position.
