Safety during adjustment and maintenance 

Before beginning any maintenance or adjustment procedures on your dryer: 



If the machine’s heater has been ON, shut the heat control OFF, but allow the belt to continue 
running for 10 -15 minutes, or until the heater has cooled to 300°F (149

°

C) or lower

.  If the belt 

is stopped while the heater is hot, belt damage will occur. 



Switch machine OFF and disconnect from power before beginning any adjustment or mainte-
nance. 



Do not attempt any maintenance while machine is powered. 



Do not run machine with panels or guards removed. 



Periodically check ink temperature on garments exiting machine.  See page 11, “Operation 
Tips.”  Readjust temperature control as necessary to maintain correct temperature for your appli-
cation.



Occasionally, check belt tracking and adjust if necessary.  See page 9, step 12.



Chains in chain drives can loosen over time; occasionally check the tension on the chain in your 
machine.



Allow heater to cool, then shut off machine and disconnect from power as described above in 
“Safety during adjustment and maintenance.”
