Preventive Maintenance
1.
To prevent the substrates from becoming soiled,
periodically wipe the entire exterior of the machine,
including the platens, with a clean rag. If necessary, use
mineral spirits for cleaning a cooled down machine.
Since mineral spirits are flammable, do not clean with
mineral spirits while the machine is hot.
2.
Avoid pressing items such as buttons, pins, snaps, or
zippers that tend to cut the pad or scratch the heat platen
and Teflon cover.
3.
Periodically lubricate the transmission, joints, bearings,
and air regulator with a high-temperature, non-melting
grease (MPPL023).
4.
Periodically check the level of the air pressure regulator
lubricant. If there is an insufficient level, add more. This
will help lubricate the piston and solenoid. Oil rated IS0-
VG68 or ISO-VG32 is recommended.
5.
Air pressure regulator: Avoid area with direct sunlight;
impact blow or temperature outside of the rated range.
6.
Do not expose or clean filter bowls with detergents,
chlorinated hydro-carbons, keytones, esters, or certain
alcohols.
7.
Do not expose the bowls or air pressure regulator in air
systems where compressors are lubricated with fire
resistant fluids such as phosphate ester and di-ester
lubricants.
8.
Remove excessive dirt, grime, and clutter from work
area.
9.
Periodically check for leaks from the pistons, air
regulators, and hoses.
10. Periodically check the tension of the synchronous belt.
11. Turn off air pressure when machine is not being used.
12. Once a week check the air regulator for moisture and
drain if needed. To drain the water, first place container
under the bowl and disconnect the air as indicated in the
picture. Make sure to have the container in place before
disconnecting air; the water will drain as soon as air is
disconnected.
Make sure water does not get onto electrical
wires/connectors.
NOTE
Wipe off any excess oil or grease.
