GENERAL INFORMATION
INFORMATION

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (REFER TO ILLUSTRATION SHEET)

UNCRATE MACHINE. Check voltage and current on name plate before installing
machine. Electrical specification of relays, timers and motor solenoids must be the
same. Do not remove the plastic protective cover on the form until the machine is
ready to be placed in operation.

SET MACHINE IN POSITION. Grip a control knob and the turning knob and lift
revolving form assembly about 22” to remove from base.

CONNECT STEAM SUPPLY LINE. This line must fall towards the macnine (without
water pockets). Connect to steam supply line with union, gate valve and 12” or more
riser. If finisher is located near end of steam line, install a by-pass trap and check
valve as illustrated in dotted lines.

CONNECT RETURN LINE. This line must fall towards boiler (without water pockets).
Connect to steam return line with unions, strainer, steam trap, and 12” or more riser.
Inspect trap carefully for inlet and outlet markings. Install trap as near the machine
as possible, and lower than the return line outlet on the machine.

NOTE: A check valve is not required for a thermodynamic trap. A check

valve is required with an impulse trap.

Use a Sarco or Yarway Thermo-dynamic Trap, Impulse trap or

equal in the return line of the machine. Do not use a bucket
trap unless its size will permit installation below the return line
outlet of the machine.

IMPORTANT: Before making final connection to return line, open gate valve in steam
supply line and flush pipe dope, borings, and all other foreign matter from the steam
connections and steam chamber. Failure to do so will cause trap troubles.

Page 5
Page 6
MAKE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS. Refer to wiring diagram on fan housing inside the
control panel. All controls and motors are single phase. The line voltage must be the same
as the electrical specifications of the motor and controls. Electrical connections must in-
clude a fused disconnect switch and be capable of carrying 15 amps, 115 volts or 8 amps,
230 volts. Use only “slo-blow” fuses. UL and California Codes require 2 black wires for 220
volt, 1 black, 1 white for 110 volt: The white is the grounded 115 volt neutral of a 3-wire
220 volt system. Connect the two black leads of a 115 volt machine to the proper terminals
of the electrical power line. Connect the green lead to an approved ground.

To connect standard single-phase machines to 3 phase current, be sure the voltage is cor-
rect, then connect the two black power leads to any two terminals of the 3 phase line
through an approved disconnect switch.

NOTE! Consult your local electrical code before making any electrical
connections, and be sure that the electrical installation conforms with
all local requirements. Double check all wiring connections before
closing disconnect switch.

Replace revolving form on the base. Remove plastic protective cover

and all packing paper and tags from the form and clamps.

TEST THE MACHINE. Turn main disconnect “ON” and machine Fan Motor Selector
switch “ON”. The blower motor will start and run continuously. Move air pressure lever to
MAX air position and operate Air Selector on push button box. Air will inflate the bag and
permit it to deflate as the selector is moved “ON” and “OFF”. Turn the selector to “OFF”.

Set the Steam Timer to approximately three seconds and the Air-Timer to approximately 8
seconds.

Turn the Steam-Air Selector to “SEPARATE”. Push START button or Foot Pedal momen-
tarily. The machine will “steam” for 3 seconds and blow air for 8 seconds. (The steam
solenoid will operate but no steam will escape since the steam is turned off).

Turn the Steam-Air Selector to “MIXED”. Push START button or Foot Pedal momentarily.
The machine will “steam” and air will blow simultaneously. At the end of 3 seconds the
steam solenoid will release. At the end of 8 seconds the air solenoid will release and the
bag will deflate.

Repeat each cycle several times.

YOUR CISSELL FORM IS READY TO OPERATE.

GENERAL NOTES: When machine is not in use, permit it to cool, and replace the plastic
protective cover on the form to prevent dust and dirt from soiling the nylon.

Remove nylon bag from the machine (see detailed illustration) at frequent intervals for
cleaning, as determined by its soiled condition. WET cleam only - do NOT dryclean. After
wet cleaning, the nylon bag should be extracted and blown dry on a garment dryer.

Page 7
Keep nylon bag clean. The nylon fabric acts as a filter in operation, collecting dust and
lint from the air, which clogs the fabric pores and greatly reduces its efficient operation.
Failure to keep bag clean may cause transfer of soil from bag to garments.

Repair holes or worn spots in nylon bag to extend its useful life. Reinforcement is
applied at points of greatest wear to extend the bags useful life. Replace when holes or
worn spots are beyond repair. A defective or badly worn nylon bag will cause the ma-
chine to operate unsatisfactorily.

CAUTION
CAUTION

Use only genuine Cissell replacement nylon bags for satisfactory results. The fabric for
Cissell Nylon bags is especially woven (and cut to an exact pattern) to give the correct
porosities for proper operation, steaming and drying. Your Cissell Form depends en-
tirely on the nylon bag for proper operation.

(See drawing on next page)

STEAM TIMER - Set Timer for required cycle. Located on the control panel (front of the blower
housing). Turn the small knob on the timer face until the pointer indicates the desired time setting.
Turn the knob only when the machine is not in an automatic cycle.

FOR LIGHT SYNTHETIC FABRICS, a time setting of 3 to 4 seconds is normally adequate. For
heavier, more absorbant fabrics increase the time setting until a good finish is obtained.

NOTE: Avoid over-steaming. Over-steaming may shrink stitching, require a longer drying time,
cause condensation and slow production. The minimum steam that will give the desired finish is best.

1. AIR TIMER - Set Timer for required cycle. Located on the control panel (front of the blower
housing). Turn the small knob on the timer face until the pointer indicates the desired time setting.
Turn the knob only when the machine is not in an automatic cycle.

FOR LIGHT SYNTHETIC FABRICS, a time setting of 4 to 5 seconds with SEPARATE Steam-Air or
7 to 9 seconds with “”MIXED” Steam-Air is normally adequate. For heavier fabrics that retain more
moisture, increase the air time until the garment is properly cured.

2 SET PRESSURE CONTROL lever “A” at minimum position.

3 PUSH FAN MOTOR SWITCH to “ON” position. Located on the control panel (front of the blower
housing). Blower will start and run continuously and control circuits will be energized. Machine
can be operated automatically or manually. To de-energize the entire machine, push selector switch
to “OFF”.

4 POSITION GARMENT on form and adjust shoulders (knob on top of form).

5 PUSH MANUAL AIR OVERRIDE SWITCH to “ON” position. Located on the push button box.
When the Fan Motor switch is turned “ON” and the bag inflates and remains inflated, move the air
override selector to its opposite position.

6 PUSH PRESSURE CONTROL LEVER “A” toward maximum until bag comes within 1/4” of filling
hemline of garment.

7 RETURN MANUAL AIR OVERRIDE SWITCH to “OFF” position.

8 PRESS AUTOMATIC START BUTTON - Located on the movable pipe column supported on the
blower housing. This button or the FOOT PEDAL SWITCH is pressed momentarily to start the
automatic cycle. This can be operated from either side of machine. (by swinging column.)

9 REPEAT STEPS 2, 4, 6, 7 and 8 when changing size and/or styles.

 MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENTS

AIR PRESSURE CONTROL - A control lever is provided just below the push button sup-
port column in the accessory tray. Move the lever to obtain the desired air pressure. In
general the air pressure ahould be sufficient to pull the garment taut without stretching it.
The lower pressures are generally used for wools and very fragile fabrics or fabrics that
tend to distort very easily and should not be pulled overly taut while they are curing.

ADJUSTABLE LEVERS - Move back and forth to regulate size of nylon bag at waist, hem
and lower positions. Rotate knob on lever clockwise to lock, counter-clockwise 1/4 to 1/2
turn to unlock. Move knob forward (toward form) to decrease size of bag and back (away
from form) to increase size of bag. Avoid excessive tightening or loosening of knobs as this
will require additional time and slow production. Adjust these levers with a garment on
the form and manual air turned on, with pressure set as indicated by the Garment Fabric.

WAIST CONTROL - Regulates expansion at waist line. Start with the Lever
completely forward. Unlock the control knob and move back to the desired position.
Move the garment in the area of the waist while the bag is being enlarged. When
the bag barely makes the garment taut in the waist, lock the lever in position.

HEM CONTROL - Regulates expansion at hem line. Start with the Lever
completely forward. Unlock the control knob and move back to the desired position.
Observe the garment at the hem line. When the bag pulls the hemline taut without
“belling”, lock the lever in position.

LOWER CONTROL - Regulates amount of fullness in hip area and size of bag at
hem line. Start with the Lever completely forward. Unlock the control knob and
move back to the desired position. Observe the garment in the hip and waist area.
Enlarge the bag until the hip is full, but do NOT permit enough fullness to cause a
roll at the waist.

NOTE! Some sizes and styles of garments will require adjustment of hem
control again after the lower control is adjusted in order to obtain the
best possible overall adjustment.

SLEEVE CONTROLS - (Only on bags provided with nylon sleeves). Rings are provided on
the bag sleeves to adjust the effective sleeve length. Slide the rings up or down as required
until the garment sleeves are well filled but not “belled”. When the form sleeves are not
required, fasten ther sleeve ends together inside the bag with the ball-chain and swivels
sewn into the sleeve ends. Sleeves may be left hanging loose if garment fabric does not
stretch or mark easily.

SHOULDER WIDTH ADJUSTMENT - A knob on top of the form is used to adjust the form
shoulder width to suit the garment. Turn knob clockwise to increase width - counter-clock-
wise to decrease.

Page 11
 ELECTRICAL CONTROLS

FAN MOTOR SWITCH - Located on the control panel (front of the blower housing).
Push to “ON” position. Blower will start and run continuously and control circuits will
be emergized. Machine can be operated automatically or manually. To de-energize the
entire machine, push selector switch to “OFF”.

STEAM AIR SWITCH - Located on the control panel (front of the blower housing). For
automatic of steam without air followed by air, push switch to “SEPARATE” position.
For automatic sequence of steam and air mixed (simultaneous start) followed by air
only, push switch to “MIXED” position. Determine the best setting for each fabric by
test.

MANUAL AIR OVERRIDE SWITCH: Located on the push button box. When the
blower motor is running, push selector to one side to inflate the bag. Return it to its
other position to deflate the bag. When the Fan Motor switch is turned “ON” and the
bag inflates and remains inflated, move the air override selector to its opposite posi-
tion.

AUTOMATIC START BUTTON - Located on the movable pipe column supported on

the blower housing. This button or the foot pedal may be used to start the automatic
cycle. Press either momentarily to start.

STEAM TIMER - Located on the control panel (front of the blower housing). Turn the
small knob on the timer face until the pointer indicates the desired time setting. Turn
the knob only when the machine is not in an automatic cycle.

For light synthetic fabrics a time setting of 3 to 4 seconds is normally adequate. For
heavier more absorbant fabrics increase the time setting until a good finish is obtained.

NOTE: Avoid over-steaming. Over-steaming may shrink stitching, require

a longer drying time, cause condensation and slow production. The
minimum steam that will give the desired finish is best.

AIR TIMER - Located on the control panel (front of the blower housing). Turn the
small knob on the timer face until the pointer indicates the desired time setting. Turn
the knob only when the machine is not in an automatic cycle.

For light synthetic fabrics a time setting of 4 to 5 seconds with “SEPARATE” Steam-Air
or 7 to 9 seconds with “MIXED” Steam-Air is normally adequate. For heavier fabrics
that retain more moisture, increase the air time until the garment is properly cured.

 NO TES
NOTES

When sizing the form always operate the levers in a right to left sequence (Waist-Hem-
Lower). When pulling the form “in” to start resizing, always operate the levers in a left
to right sequence (Lower-Hem-Waist). The levers can not be pushed forward (toward
the form) when the bag is inflated.

A water spray gun is provided to add moisture when needed for difficult wrinkles in
hard fabrics. Spray garment where needed DURING THE STEAMING CYCLE hold-
ing the spray gun about 15” from garment and allowing mist to FALL INTO THE
STEAM and onto the fabric.

Collars and various trim may be finished during the normal cycle by wiping with a
hand pad before the garment is dry.

Always reduce form to its smallest size before starting the sizing operation.

IMPORTANT!
IMPORTANT!

For maximum production always finish as many garments of the same size and style as
possible at the same time. This avoids unnecessary adjustments and improved overall
machine performance.

Place garments on a rack, front upward, so they are convenient to the form operator,
with the hem toward the operator. The operator can then easily grab the hem, and
with a single sweeping motion partially fill it with air so it will be extended and drop
easily over the form, failing completely down so the hem will be straight.

When using the bag sleeves, a garment is best removed from the form by holding the
garment sleeves at the UNDER side and lifting upward. The bag sleeves will easily
slip out of the garment.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ADJUSTING HEIGHT
OF REVOLVING FORM
REVOLVING
(Model FM** and Model FG-1)

Should the revolving form “drag” on the base rather than turn freely, the form must be
raised.

Conversely, if the revolving form hides too high above the base, permitting steam to
escape from the space between the form and base, the form must be lowered.

WHEN AN ADJUSTMENT MUST BE MADE, REMOVE REVOLVING FORM BY

SIMPLY LIFTING IT STRAIGHT UP OFF THE BASE.

PROBLEM: Revolving Form “drags” on base.

TO CORRECT: Loosen F286 Bearing Lock Nut. Turn F287 Bearing Adjustment
Screw COUNTER-CLOCKWISE.

CHECK ADJUSTMENT: Replace revolving form on base. Rotate form. If perfectly

adjusted, form will rotate freely and snugly on felt seal
around top of base. If form is still too low...or too
high...repeat adjustment until it is correct.

PROBLEM: Revolving Form rides too high above base.

TO CORRECT: Loosen F286 Bearing Lock Nut. Turn F287 Bearing Adjustment
