Remove top beam
(Fig. 3)
a. loosen all four press connector bolts.
b. using top beam handles located on end caps, remove top beam from press.
Heavy object
depending upon width and weight of the press you have, you may require assistance
from another person.
c. place beam on side, do not place the beam with the platen facing down. it is impor-
tant to keep platens in good working condition. resting the beam on the side will
protect the platens from scratching or from getting dirty. Beams have rubber strip-
ping along the length of the press to protect from scratching (see photo).

Insert the prepared ends of the belt into the heating press
a. place a clean silicone pad onto the clean bottom heating platen. ensure the silicone
pad lies flat because any creases will impact the appearance of the finished splice.
the purpose of the silicone pads is to prevent the belt material from sticking to the
press’s heating platens.
b. place the prepared ends of the belt onto the bottom heating platen. please note:
the area heated is 160 mm wide and situated in the middle of the heating platen.
please ensure that the areas to be heated are centered correctly. depending on the
belt type, slight heat loss can occur in the outer areas of the heating zone. a prepared
finger splice or layer separation must be within the heating zone because any
material outside it won’t melt. (Fig. 4)
c. please follow this procedure if you want to make a finger splice:
– For splices without any additional materials: The fingers must interlock completely
and there must be no gaps between the fingertips.
distance between the fingers = 0 mm
– For splices with film on the top face: Push the fingers into one another completely
and draw a marking line (Fig. 5). then pull the ends of the belt apart again until
there is a 6 mm distance between the lines. the distance between the figures is
2 mm. (Fig. 6)
d. apply extra belt material to the edges of the belt to be spliced until all of the heating
press is covered over the entire area to be pressed. this prevents melted material
from being pressed out.
Caution
ensure the belt material covers the entire width of the heating press so that even
pressure is applied and damage to the press prevented.
