Removal of the Cliché and SpaceFrame
When removing the SpaceFrame from the machine, proceed as described in the following instruction:
1. Stop the printer via the ‘STOP’ button in the ‘HOME’ position (Pad up).
2. Open the machine guard and remove pad
3. Place MAGNETIC CUP CLAMPS on the front and rear of the CUP
4. Loosen the cliché clamping screws and move the cliché clamp to clear the cliché
5. Turn the cup locking handle to lift the clamping fingers clear of the ‘HOLD DOWN
RING’ (3)
If the machine has been assembled for an extended period of time, accumulation
of ink may inhibit the removal of the cliché’. This may cause the SpaceFrame to
pull free from the cliché’ and to spill the ink. Verify that the cliché’ and
SpaceFrame slide out together!
6. Draw the cup/cliché assembly out of the machine and turn it over with the SpaceFrame
facing down
7. Set assembly into the ‘SETUP TABLE’ (1) and tighten the thumb screws
8. Carefully slide the cliché off the SpaceFrame.
If the printing machine will not be in operation for an extended time, it is
recommended that the cup and plate be removed from the machine. Ink in
contact with the printing plate for extended periods of time, can cause damage
to the printing plate. (This practice does vary based on the type of ink and or
thinner used.
