MAINTENANCE
Prior to carrying out any inspection or work on the ironer, make sure that it
is disconnected from the mains power supply.
Any work on mechanical parts and the electrical system must be carried out by fully qualified
personnel.
Under normal working conditions, IPSO ironers require a minimum of maintenance. To ensure less friction on the
items during the ironing process and to keep the chromed surface of the ironing plate clean, it is advisable the
user uses daily "G-SIL", a special product for roller ironing which replaces wax. Spray evenly onto the roller as it
rotates. Useful tip spray from under the feed-in wooden table with the ironing plate under pressure and slightly
heated (80-90°C). Use the spray as and when necessary.
Operations to be carried out by professionally qualified personnel:
The mechanical moving parts require lubrication each two/three weeks. The reduction gears are self-lubricating
and do not require maintenance.
The roll circumference must be checked periodically depending on the volume of linen processed to ensure that it
is smooth and even along the whole length. Any worn areas can be re-padded with steelwool and, if necessary,
replacing the textile coverings.
ORIGINAL SPARE PARTS
The original spare parts are specially made to fulfil our requirements regarding their manufacture, correspondence
to the original components and materials used and are therefore ideal for our ironers.
To order spare parts, provide the following details:
1) the name of the machine - see data on the rathing plate -
2) the serial number - see data on the rathing plate -
3) the code of spare part - see spare parts list -
4) the quantity required.
REPLACING THE ROLLER COVERING
1. Remove the cover sheet and flannel. Wind off the steelwool, completely exposing the roller.
2. Take a new roll of steelwool, cut one and off diagonally and place on the left-hand side of the roller with a
slope of approx. 30 degrees. Keep tight.
3. Begin winding towards the right-hand end with the ironing plate under pressure, taking care not to overlap the
edges; then take a second layer from right to left in the same way. Repeat this operation until the
circumference of the roller reaches 770 mm.
4. Spread the flannel evenly over the padded roller and tighten with the ironing plate under pressure until it is
fully wound. Raise the temperature to approx. 130°C and let the roller rotate for a few minutes until the
flannel cover is settled.
5. Place the narrowest end of the cover sheet approx. 10 cm under the edge of the flannel, making sure it is
perfectly smooth and parallel. Put the ironing plate under pressure and wind the sheet round. Let the roller
rotate for a few minutes. When the cover sheet is settled, secure the ends.
Every maintenance operation must be carried out by professionally qualified personnel.
