GBC Pro-Tech machines require minimal maintenance.
However, regular maintenance is essential to keep any
piece of precision machinery at peak performance. A
maintenance schedule and a section of procedures are
included in this section.

One of the most crucial adjustments to the DS-60 Heat
Press is positioning the thermocouple and making sure
it is clean. If the thermocouple loses contact with the
roll, the roll can overheat and be seriously damaged or
can even start a fire. Therefore, it is absolutely critical
that the thermocouple be clean and positioned properly
before operating the heat press and it should become
second nature to check its condition prior to applying
power to the heat press.
Tools required:
•
1
/
8
" hex wrench
•
80% isopropyl alcohol
•
100% lint free paper or cotton terry cloth
CAUTION
WARNING
To adjust a thermocouple:
1. Locate the thermocouple (in the middle of the
upper main roll on the rear of the heat press).
2. Remove the two screws securing the thermocouple
to the heat press using the
1
/
8
" hex wrench and take
the thermocouple out.
3. Inspect the thermocouple. If there is any adhesive
or dirt on the thermocouple gently clean it off with
80% isopropyl alcohol and a cotton terry cloth.
Daily
•
Align/clean the thermocouple
•
Clean the rolls
•
Inspect the electrical cord for dam-
age
•
Inspect the footswitch cord for dam-
age
Monthly
•
Adjust the nip
•
Check the chain tension
•
Inspect the area around the heat
press for possible hazards (dust
buildup, combustible items stored
too close, etc.)
Every Six
Months
•
Lubricate the grease fittings and
chain
•
Check wire termination tightness
ALWAYS CHECK THE POSITION AND
CONDITION OF THE THERMOCOUPLE
PRIOR TO OPERATION! The thermal junction
of the thermocouple MUST make contact with
the main rolls to maintain proper roll operating
temperatures. The thermocouple must also be
free of adhesive and dirt. The roll can overheat
and cause a fire or seriously damage the heat
press.
Do not attempt to adjust the position of the
thermocouple if the roll is hot. You can be
seriously burned.
