TEFLON SHUTTLE BLANKET:
The stitched Teflon stitched that will support and carry
materials in and out of the press is attached to the shuttle frame using springs. The springs pinch
through the Teflon, wrapping around brass rods that are slid inside the stitched seams along the
short and long sides of the Teflon blanket. The other side of the spring will hook into threaded
studs with eyelets on the Main Teflon Shuttle Frame. Follow these 4 steps to attach the Teflon
blanket to the Teflon shuttle frame:
1.
Attach 1 spring to all the spring studs around the shuttle frame. (The machine may have
been shipped with the springs already attached)
2.
Position the Teflon blanket within the shuttle frame resting on the aluminum support
trays so the Teflon blanket is centered within the Teflon Shuttle Frame.
3.
Slide in the long and short brass rods into the stitched seams of the Teflon blanket.
4.
From the center out, hook the Teflon springs to the brass rods hidden in the Teflon
pockets, then hook them to the eyelets on the studs of the Teflon Shuttle Frame. Start
along the rear long edge of the machine first attaching all springs to corresponding
eyelets & threaded studs. Pull forward on the Teflon blanket when attaching springs to
the front edge of the frame. Again – remember to start from the center and work out
towards the ends. Once the rear and front sides are attached, then attach the shorter left
and right side of the Teflon blanket.
Once the Teflon blanket is attached, it should be supported evenly & flat without waves
or wrinkles tightly around the entire Main Teflon Shuttle Frame Assembly.
