AUTION
THIS IS A RECOMMENDED PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE. FOR A SAFE AND
EXTENDED SERVICE LIFE, A MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE MUST BE ESTABLISHED.
EXPERIENCE MAY MODIFY THE FREQUENCY OF INSPECTIONS OR ADD ADDITIONAL
INSPECTIONS.
Weekly
Check condition of padding. Replace when worn.
Clean lint, dust and debris from around the machine.
Inspect steam trap for proper functioning.
NOTICE
A COOL TRAP WILL NOT LET THE MACHINE ACHIEVE PROPER TEMPERATURE. A
CONSTANTLY BLOWING TRAP CAN CAUSE INTERNAL DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE.
Monthly

Checking Your Steam Trap
You can not get proper heat to your press unless your steam traps are working properly. It
Is a simple check if you have an inexpensive pyrometer. All you do is apply the probe to the
pipes and compare readings.
Pyrometer
Instructions:
1. Read temperatures at “A” and “B” and
“C” in ºF.
2. If “B” is more than 10º lower than “A”
trap is not dumping correctly.
3. If “C” is less than 40º lower than “B” trap
is hanging open. (Actually with a bucket
trap “C” is usually 70º to 100º lower than
“B”; and with an impulse trap “C” is
usually 40º to 70º lower than “B”.)
Example:
1. A=300º; B=295º; C=210º -- Trap OK
2. A= 300º; B=250º -- Trap Not Dumping
3. A=300º; B=295º; C=294º -- Trap Hanging Open
