INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Collar clamp/ head alignment check
Check the collar clamp position in the front head cutout. See illustration below. The clamp
should be centered in the cutout for proper operation. Check clearance below the collar clamp
and the bottom of the head cutout for adequate opening and closing clearance. It will require
two people to perform this operation.
CAUTION
Improper alignment of the collar clamp can result in cut shirts, damage to the collar clamp or
cause the front head to hang.
CAUTION: If you do not have the proper clearance around the collar clamp after installing
the machine as described above, repeat step 5 of “Setting and anchoring”, to verify the
machine is properly leveled and anchored. If proper alignment cannot be obtained, please
call the Forenta factory service department.
This check can be made before the compressed air and electricity are connected to the
machine. This is done by rotating the buck carriage by hand, holding firmly in place between

clamp/head alignment should be done just prior to pressing of shirts to avoid possible damage
to shirts.
-8-
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Moisture removal
Air compressors should have an aftercooler or heat exchanger to reduce the discharge air temperature.
When compressed air is cooled, condensation is created. A moisture separator with an automatic drain
should be added to the main airline after the aftercooler to remove the water. The air will continue to cool
(and moisture will be created) as the air travels through the supply manifold. The supply connections for
the presses should come off the top of the manifold and provisions for drainage should come off the
bottom of the manifold (see illustration on next page).
Compressed air connection
Connect this machine to a compressed air system that is free from moisture and foreign material. The
incoming airline should be blown out thoroughly before connecting to the press to prevent dirt and debris
from damaging valves and plugging lines. A 3/8” NPT connection is located at the rear of the press that
requires a minimum air supply of 85 p.s.i. Refer to the ``Detail Line Drawing’’ on “SPECIFICATIONS”
page for the connection size and location.
NOTE
THE PIPE SIZE COMING TO THE PRESS SHOULD BE NO SMALLER THAN 3/8” PIPE.
USING A SMALLER SIZE MAY CAUSE THE PRESS TO OPERATE SLOWLY OR
ERRATICALLY. AIR LINE PIPING SHOULD BE 3/8” GALVANIZED STEEL OR ½” COPPER.
A valve and union should be installed so the press can be serviced, if necessary, without
shutting down any other equipment.
CAUTION
PROPER USE OF A VENTED LOCKOUT/TAGOUT VALVE DURING SERVICING AND
MAINTENANCE CAN PREVENT INJURY TO PERSONNEL.
-9-
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Steam supply
Connect the steam inlet to a steam source with a minimum pressure of 115 p.s.i. and a
maximum pressure of 125 p.s.i. The pipe size of the connection should be ½” NPT. The
connection shall include a cutoff valve and pipe union. Steam inlets and outlets are marked on
the back of the machine. Do not connect with any smaller piping than the size of the connections
on the machines themselves. Use traps and check valves on all return lines. Refer to the ``Detail
Line Drawing’’ for supply and return connection size and location.
NOTE: Steam lines should be blown out thoroughly before connecting to the machine. This will
help prevent debris from damaging valves and plugging lines.
Condensate return
The condensate connection requires two steam traps. The pipe size of the connection should be
½” NPT. A swing check valve should be installed after the steam trap and before the return line
with a pipe union in between.
All connections to presses and other feeder lines should come off the top of the steam header.
Steam supply lines should never dead end at presses or at the end of manifolds. For optimum
efficiency, steam pressure lines must have steam traps at the end of the header to remove
condensate and to provide constant steam circulation. The traps should be checked periodically
to assure that they are operating correctly.
The steam piping illustration below is representative of proper steam supply and return
installation.

OPERATING CONTROLS
Close palmbuttons (green)
These two buttons must be pressed at the same time to transfer the bucks after the shirt is
dressed onto the buck. The bucks can be transferred to retrieve a pressed shirt by pressing the
buttons before stepping on either footswitch. This prevents the heads closing on an empty buck
and prevents an extra count on the counter.
After a shirt is dressed and having completed the functions of the footswitches as noted above,
depressing the CLOSE buttons will cause the buck carriage to rotate, the heads to close upon
completion of rotation and the automatic timing cycle to begin.
Cancel palmbuttons (red)
Depressing either of these buttons will prevent the main press heads from closing. If depressed
at any time after the buck carriage rotation starts, these buttons will stop the heads if they are in
motion and return them to the open position where they will remain until the CLOSE system is
reactivated by an operator. Depressing either of these two buttons will open the heads if they are
closed on the shirt body, stop the automatic timing cycle, and place the machine in an at rest
condition awaiting further operator input. The CANCEL buttons will not stop rotating bucks. The
EMERGECY STOP button will stop buck carriage rotation.
DRY-STEAM-DRY/STEAM-DRY
Pressing this button will select between the two sleeve finishing modes. The DRY-STEAM-DRY
mode starts the finishing cycle with hot air being blown into the sleeves for the DRYING AIR time
set on the touchscreen display. This DRYING AIR continues throughout the finishing cycle,
however, when this DRYING AIR time expires, steam will begin to be blown into the sleeves
along with the continuing air. When the STEAM time, shown on the touchscreen display expires,
the NORMAL DRYING AIR (or EXTENDED DRYING AIR) timer takes over and the hot air
continues to blow for the duration of the time shown on the touchscreen for the respective timer.
When the STEAM-DRY mode is selected, the steam and blown hot air enter the sleeve at the
same time. This mode is exactly the same as described for DRY-STEAM-DRY except the
DRYING AIR timer is bypassed.
The touchscreen will display the selected mode in the upper left portion of the screen. The
STEAM-DRY mode will most likely be the preferred operating mode.
NO STEAM INJECTION
Pressing this button will prevent steam injection into the shirt sleeves during the press cycle for
the shirt being dressed. Injection will be prevented for this shirt only. The touchscreen will
display STEAM INJECTION in the upper center of the screen when the STEAM INJECTION
mode is selected. This display disappears when in the NO STEAM INJECTION mode.
EXTENDED DRYING timer
Pressing this button will change the drying cycle timer from the NORMAL DRYING AIR timer to
The Extended DRYING AIR timer. The extended cycle will only apply to the press cycle for the
shirt being dressed. “EXTENDED DRYING AIR” will appear on the touchscreen in the upper
center portion of the screen.

pedal.
Grasp each shirt tail and form an inverted “V” that begins at the collar clamp. Move the shirt tails
farther or closer apart to remove wrinkles from the shirt front. Step on either pedal to start the
buck vacuum. Lower the shirt tails to the buck and smooth if necessary. Use the mirror to
remove wrinkles from the shirt’s back.
The timer cycle will be the Normal Drying Air timer setting, displayed on the touchscreen. Most
shirts can be properly pressed and dried with a 30 second setting. Actual time will depend upon
garment material, garment material thickness, water retention from the washer/extractor,
humidity and steam pressure to the machine.
To use the Extended Drying Air timer, press the EXTENDED DRYING button near the
touchscreen. The touchscreen will show the selection. This cycle time will be selected for this
shirt only, reverting to the Normal Drying Air timer for the next shirt.
Steam is injected into the sleeves for the time indicated on the Steam timer shown on the
touchscreen. Steam injection can be prevented by pressing the NO STEAM INJECTION button
near the touchscreen (“STEAM INJECTION” will not be shown in the touchscreen). This mode
will remain in effect until changed by the operator.
Steam-dry mode is selected by the DRY-STEAM-DRY/STEAM-DRY button near the
touchscreen and is indicated on the touchscreen. This is the default mode and consists of the
Steam timer and either the Normal Drying Air or Extended Drying Air timer. Steam injection can
be prevented as described above, and either drying air timer may be selected as described
above.
- 22 -
OPERATION
Dry-steam-dry mode is also selected by the DRY-STEAM-DRY/STEAM-DRY button near the
touchscreen and is indicated on the touchscreen. This mode consists of the Drying Air timer, the
Steam timer and either the Normal Drying Air or Extended Drying Air timer. Steam injection can
be prevented as described above, and either drying air timer may be selected as described
above. This mode will only work for the shirt presently in the dressing position.
Pressing operation
Pressing the two green (CLOSE) pushbuttons at the same time will initiate buck transfer and
start the pressing cycle.
To interrupt the pressing cycle, press either red (CANCEL) pushbutton. This will cancel the
pressing cycle, open the heads or prevent the heads from closing. It will not stop buck transfer.
Pressing the Emergency Stop button is the only method of stopping the bucks when they
are in motion.
When the pressed shirt is transferred out to the dressing/unloading position, the collar clamp will
automatically open. Carefully remove the shirt, being careful not to wrinkle it or be burned by the
hot surfaces. Grasping the shirt by the upper sleeve and collar are areas that are usually cool
enough to prevent burns.
CAUTION
THE PRESSED AREA OF THE GARMENT IS HOT! DO NOT TOUCH UNTIL COOL. AREAS
NEXT TO THE PRESSED AREA MAY BE HOT DUE TO STEAM OR HOT WATER.
- 23 -
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
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.
Daily
1. Check air filter in the supply line to the press (manually drain if necessary). Repair or replace if
not draining properly.
NOTE
EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL AND WATER DRAINING FROM THE FILTER COULD INDICATE A FAULTY
AIR SUPPLY SYSTEM. THE AIR SYSTEM MUST BE PROPERLY MAINTANED TO PREVENT VOIDING THE
WARRANTY AND CAUSING MALFUNCTIONS AND DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE.
2. Clean the pressing surface of the heads with Ez-Off™ cleaner while the heads are hot. Do not
use an abrasive cleaner. This will damage the plated surface of the heads. After cleaning, apply
a coat of paraffin wax or HOT-HEAD™ press lube to the pressing surface of the heads.
Weekly
1. Check condition of the padding. Replace when it becomes worn, shrinks, or lacks resilience.
2. Clean lint, dust and debris from inside and around the machine.
3. Inspect steam traps to insure they are properly dumping water out of the press and that they
are not allowing steam to blow through them. See “Checking the steam trap” in the
Maintenance section in this manual.
NOTICE
A COOL TRAP WILL NOT LET THE MACHINE ACHIEVE PROPER TEMPERATURE. A CONSTANTLY
BLOWING TRAP CAN CAUSE INTERNAL DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE.
Monthly
1. Check to ensure that all warning and instructional labels are intact and readable. Replace as
necessary for personnel safety.
Every three months
1. Lubricate all grease fittings with high-temperature grease.
2. Check the main air pressure gauge to ensure that the regulator is set to the recommended
pressure of 85 psi.
3. Check the control system to ensure that the press is functioning properly and that all safety
features are functioning properly; make adjustments or repairs immediately.
4. Check the mechanical action of the press to ensure that it is working smoothly with no erratic
actions. Make adjustments or repairs immediately.
5. Check for steam and air leaks. Any leaks should be repaired.
6. Clean padding.
Every twelve months
Inspect the buck metal base pads. If they have lost their resiliency (ability to spring back when
depressed), they need to be replaced. Several factors affect the life of a pad with volume being
the major factor. More frequent inspections may be necessary.
Pre-installation/storage maintenance
No servicing of this type of press is required during pre-installation, storage, or in service
storage as long as the press is kept dry.
- 24 -
MAINTENANCE
Particulate/coalescing compressed air filters
The filter bowls have an auto drain which should be checked periodically. If there seems to be
excessive accumulation of oily water, the air storage tank may need to be drained or the
compressor may have bad rings that need to be replaced. Dirty air is one of the chief causes of
excessive maintenance. If the air filter cartridges appear to be clogged, they can be taken out
and cleaned, usually by blowing clean with an air hose. If the bowl appears damaged, it should
be replaced.
Air pressure
Regulator 2 should be set at 85 p.s.i.
Regulator 6 should be set at 55 p.s.i.
Buck transfer speed control
The speed of the buck transfer is controlled by adjusting the screw on the flow control 22 as
shown below. The bucks should travel as fast as possible without bouncing off the end stops.
Note: See “Airflow Diagram” in this manual for location.
- 25 -
MAINTENANCE
Head closing speed adjustment
The flow control valve 31 attached to the head closing valve SV8 (see Airflow Diagram and
sketches below) can be turned clockwise to reduce head closing speed and turned
counterclockwise to increase head closing speed. This valve should be adjusted so the heads
close rapidly and smoothly without slamming the buck.
NOTE: Changing the speed of the head closure may also affect the soft air and full air timing.
See “Airbag soft air adjustment” and “Airbag full air adjustment” in the MAINTENANCE section
of this manual.
Snorkel connector regulator
The snorkel connector regulator 8 controls the pressure to the snorkel connector cylinder 3 (see
Airflow Diagram). Higher pressure yields a tighter seal, however too much pressure will push the
buck, which is not desirable.
- 26 -
MAINTENANCE
Snorkel connector speed control
The snorkel connector speed control 30 controls the speed of the snorkel connector cylinder 13
in both directions (see Airflow Diagram). Set the extension speed first, then the retract speed.
Airbag soft air adjustment
Soft air in the airbags removes wrinkles from the shirt before the heads close. Too much soft air
will distort the shirt, causing wrinkles. Too little soft air will not remove all wrinkles. This is
controlled by the gap shown below.
“Soft air” is a term used to describe the gentle flow of air into the airbags just prior to the heads
coming into contact with the shirt. This air is regulated by the system below. A limited and
controllable amount of air passes through valve 23 to the airbags. This amount of air is further
limited by a portion exhausting to the atmosphere through valve 25.
NOTE: These adjustments must be made while pressing a shirt.
- 27 -
MAINTENANCE
Airbag full air adjustment
Full air in the airbags removes wrinkles and dries the shirt after the heads close. Switching from
soft air to full air too early in the heads contacting phase of head closure, will distort the shirt,
causing wrinkles. Switching too late will not remove all wrinkles. This is controlled in part by the
position of the proximity switch shown below.
The adjustments here must be made in relation to the instructions listed under the “Airbag soft
air adjustment” in the MAINTENANCE section of this manual.
- 28 -
MAINTENANCE
Gripper arm (sleeve tension) adjustment
The gripper arms (sleeve stretching arms) use a combination of spring tension and air pressure
to control the tension exerted on sleeves. The springs are factory set and should never need
adjusting. The springs are adjusted as noted below.
Regulator (43) is factory set at 45 p.s.i. If additional tension is needed on the sleeves, the
pressure on regulator (43) should be decreased. Decreasing the regulator pressure will
consequently increase the sleeve tension.
CAUTION
TOO MUCH SLEEVE TENSION CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO SHIRTS OR CAUSE THEM TO PULL OUT OF THE
GRIPPERS.

WARNING
Do not add oil to air cylinders or air system. This can damage valves and cylinders.
- 33 -
MAINTENANCE
Air cylinders
The short sleeve gripper lift cylinders on the press have an O-ring inside the cylinder which seals
the piston and the cylinder wall. This O-ring should give years of trouble free service with no
maintenance required. Air will blow through a vent hole in the cylinder tube if the O-ring ever
develops a leak. In this case, the O-ring must be replaced. It can be slipped off of the piston by
pressing it toward the center of the piston with the thumb and index finger and sliding toward one
side to create looseness so it can be pulled off with the other hand. The Forenta part number for
the O-ring is 15097-2.
CAUTION
When removing the O-ring from the piston, be careful not to damage or put any burrs on the
piston. This will damage the cylinder wall.
After removing the old O-ring from the piston, clean the piston and the inside of the cylinder wall.
Pack the piston O-ring groove with grease. Then put the new O-ring on the piston and apply
grease on top of the O-ring. Apply a light coat of grease on the inside of the cylinder wall. Always
replace the base O-ring when repairing the cylinder. CAUTION: DO NOT PUT OIL IN
CYLINDERS. An O-ring is placed inside the cylinder to serve as a bumper/stop for the retracting
piston.
NOTE: See “SHORT SLEEVE CLAMP LIFT CYLINDER” in the “PARTS ILLUSTRATION”
section of this manual for a sectional view of the cylinder.
NOTE
Many of the air cylinders are not repairable.

MAINTENANCE
Padding removal and installation
Step 1: Remove the collar clamp by loosening the two hex head capscrews holding the block
to the buck.
Step 2: Remove the outer cover/airbag by untying the string at the base of the cover and
unzipping the cover. Remove the hose clamps at the shoulder and base.
Step 3: Remove the flannel by lifting it off the steel wool base pad.
Step 4: Remove the steel wool base pad by lifting it off the buck.
CAUTION
The steel wool base pad consists of very small diameter steel wire. Gloves should be worn
when removing or installing the base pad to prevent hand injury.
To install new padding, reverse the removal steps, being sure to keep the base pad, flannel and
outer cover/airbags centered on the buck. Take care to install the flannel in such a way that the
special vacuum barrier fabric is on the top side of the flannel so that the fabric lies against the
outer cover/airbag.
Padding
The padding must be maintained properly to assure a quality finish. The padding consists of a
steel mesh pad placed directly on the bare buck. A piece of 20 ounce nylon flannel goes on top
of the mesh. The flannel has a special fabric attached that acts as a vacuum barrier on the upper
half of the rear side of the buck. The outer cover/airbag goes on last.
The flannel should be checked about every 4 weeks. If it has become hard and brittle, it should
be replaced. This flannel must stay soft and have some bounce-back in order to get a good
finish. If it is not replaced when necessary, continuous pressing will cause it to deteriorate as it is
compressed against the mesh pad.
The steel mesh pad may last for one, two or three years, more or less, depending on how much
the press is used and depending on how well the flannel is maintained.
The outer cover needs to be replaced when it shows signs of wear or deterioration, or when the
airbags are no longer capable of building up pressure.
Note: The padding, as a whole, must have some compression when the heads close and
expansion when the heads open.
- 35 -
MAINTENANCE
Checking the steam trap
Proper heat will not get to the press unless the steam traps are working properly. It is a simple
check with an inexpensive pyrometer. Apply the probe to the pipes and compare readings.
Pyrometer
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Read temperatures at “A”, “B” and “C”
in °F (degrees Fahrenheit).
2. If “B” is more than 10° lower than “A”,
the trap is not dumping correctly.
3. If “C” is less than 40° lower than “B”,
the trap is hanging open. (With a
bucket trap, “C” is usually 70° to 100°
lower than “B”; with an impulse trap,
“C” is usually 40° to 70° lower than
“B”.)
Example:
1. A= 300°; B= 295°; C= 210° -- Trap OK
2. A= 300°; B= 250° -- Trap not dumping
3. A= 300°; B= 295°; C= 294° -- Trap hanging open
NOTE
The above figures should be considered as a general guide in troubleshooting a steam
system. They do not rule out other possible problems.
