Maintenance
>> Preventative
In order to keep the machine in top running condition, regular maintenance is important for trouble
free operation. This will minimize possible down time and to prolong machine life.
Daily
Check the motion of the machine for smoothness and strange noise.
Check the air hoses for leakage or damage.
Check silicone roller for worn or damaged.
Weekly
Check all rollers for excessive play, all play should be less than 5 mm, adjust the
corresponding cam belt tension if necessary.
Lubricate the cutter blade slightly with machine oil. Wipe off any excessive oil if necessary.
While the machine is off and cooled, test the circuit breaker by pressing the test button.
The handle should flip to OFF immediately.
Check the speed of the nip roller cylinder. Adjust the speed by the air speed regulators
located under the touch screen control panel if necessary.
Visually inspect all the electrical and mechanical parts for abnormal burns and looseness.
Check the nozzle air pressure interlock: lower the nozzle air pressure gradually to below
0.05 Mpa, an alarm message should appear and the heater power will be cut off followed
by a drop in heater temperature.
Next increase the air pressure to above 0.1 Mpa, the alarm message ‘pressure low’ in the
page ‘main’ should disappear.
As Required
Clean the rollers to remove any adhesive residue, which may cause fabric wrapping.
Replace the silicone roller by a new one if necessary.
Replace heater element if damaged, be careful not to allow material being broken off from
the old element causing blockage to the air passages.
If nozzle is blocked, remove the nozzle from the heater and tap it gently to release foreign
material from the inlet side.
