any obvious damage.
• Using the Chart on page 5 or 6, determine
the space requirements for your

unit) operational. Use 3/4" black pipe from
the compressor to press with a Shut-Off
Valve provided at the press.

required Electrical Service at the power
input contactor located inthe electrical

the electrical service as indicated on the
Manufacturer’s Rating Plate at all the
positions where it might be used. Refer to
the Manufacturer’s Rating Plate on each

install at every station (size 1 7/8" x 3/8").
Please note, squeegee blades are not

frame dimensions and image placement.
