Step 4

Install the hand lever on the desired side of the mounting channel. Install this based on which side of the press you are using the flash dryer and whether you are right- or left-handed. Use a 7/16” end wrench and fully tighten the knob.

Step 5

Attach the upper stand upright pole to the mounting brackets of the flash dryer with a 9/16” wrench. The upper holes of the bracket have adjustments to set the angle of the flash dryer. This can be adjusted at the final stage once installed into the lower stand assembly. Fully tighten the 7/16” hardware from step 3 after installing this set of hardware.

Install the locking collar and fluted knob to the upper stand pole. This will set the overall height of the flash dryer. This can be adjusted once at press to the desired distance from the platen.

Step 7
Slide the upper flash assembly into the lower stand assembly. Make any final adjustments to the overall height of the flash dryer. Once at press, you can also make any adjustments needed to the tilt angle of the flash panel. Plug the unit into a standard 110v 15 amp outlet to begin use.

NOTE:

• UNPLUG FLASH DRYER WHEN NOT IN USE.
• DO NOT LEAVE THE UNIT UNATTENDED WHILE UNDER POWER.
