ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
IMPORTANT: Consult your local electrical codes before making any connections, and be certain that the connections
conform with all applicable codes.
The standard Pants Topper has single phase motors. Before installation, check nameplates on motor and control box
for rated voltage and current specifications. Make electrical connections as indicated on the wiring diagram at-
tached to machine.
For single phase current, connect power leads, L1 and L2, to an approved fused disconnect switch in power line.
For standard, single phase machine to three phase current, connect power leads, L1 and L2, to any two terminals of
an approved fused disconnect switch in the three phase power line.
For three phase current, connect power leads L1, L2, and L3 to the three terminals of an approved fused disconnect
switch in the three phase power line. The motor must rotate clockwise when facing the belt and pulley. If rotation is
incorrect, transpose any two leads connecting the power line, and rotation of motor will reverse.
STEAM CONNECTIONSSTEAM CONNECTIONS
STEAM CONNECTIONSSTEAM CONNECTIONS
STEAM CONNECTIONS
Refer to drawing on opposite page for steam supply and return connections.
All horizontal runs must drain by gravity to respective steam header. Portions that cannot drain to header must
drain by gravity to machine, without water pockets. Each steam header must drain, by gravity, to boiler or conden-
sate return tank.
To prevent condensate draining from steam headers to machine, make steam connections (to each respective header)
with a 12 inch or more, vertical riser. Do not make steam connections to a header with a horizontal or downwardly
facing tee or elbow.
Water pockets or an improperly drained steam line (or header) will provide wet steam, causing unnecessary wetting-
out of buck padding.
Before installing check valve, trap and strainer, connect steam supply to machine from globe valve (A). Open globe
valve (A) to flush any foreign matter that may be in castings or pipes. Open globe valve (C) to flush foreign matter
from return connections,then connect steam return from valve (C) to machine with check valve,trap, and strainer as
shown. If steam is gravity returned to boiler, omit trap.
NOTE: For successful operation of machine, install trap as close to floor and as near machine as possible. Inspect
trap carefully for inlet and outlet marks and install according to manufacturer’s instructions.
IMPORTANT: A separate steam trap must be used with each machine.
CAUTION: Before operating Pants Topper, open globe valves in steam lines. Check carefully for steam leaks and see
that trap is operating properly. Under no circumstances should machine be operated until hot. Operating the
machine cold will wet the nylon bag and padding. To dry a wet bag or pad, depress the ON manual Air switch. Air
will operate continously until OFF Air switch is pressed.

1. Grip rear top portion of bag and puff waist expander forward until it locks.
2. Lift trousers onto form, placing back center of waist band high onto waist expander.
Pull trousers forward; hook, button or snap front of waist band.
Do not close zipper of pants.
3. Continue to hold forward tension on trousers and push “bag release” knob. Allow automatic tension of waist
expander to draw front of trousers onto face of buck.
4. Adjust and center pants to highest position on buck. Align crotch; do not raise pants too high as crotch must
remain loose in buck opening to prevent wrinkling of crotch area.
5. To soften pleats (Before making respective pleat lays), push PRE-STEAM BUTTON. Steam Timer controls
pre-steaming automatically.
NOTE: Excessive moisture will de-lusterize Rayon acetates. This may be minimized by
using “air” while steaming; or shortening of steam cycle by depressing fully “off”
air switch. Do not use the pre-steaming operation on rayon acetates.
6. Smooth out material and lay each pleat separately, working from fly toward pleat being layed. Align pleat
with leg crease; close pleat holder. If too much material is encountered during laying of pleats, trousers are
too high on the buck and too low on the rear expander. If too little material is available to lay the pleat
properly, the trousers may be too low on the buck and too high on the expander.
7. Push AUTOMATIC Button. Steam and Air Timers control steam followed by air automatically.
Leg-out during the final phase of the automatic cycle of the Topper.
8. Place creased trousers on hanger and make necessary touch-ups on Puff Iron before placing pants on finish
rail.

retighten cap screw (A) of arm expander.
4. With a thin card (H) check uniformity of pressure between edges of pleat clamp (E) and buck. If unequal,
rotate pleat clamp slightly to obtain a uniform pressure around all edges.
5. Re-tighten nut (B) of adjustable support. Note: Whenever tightening nut (B), do not apply pressure to knob
(G) or arm (C), as this will disturb the pleat clamp setting.
6. Top a pair of trousers.
A. If pleat clamp (E) makes an impression (too tight), loosen cap screw (B) and rotate adjustment
nut (J) counter-clockwise to reduce pressure. Retighten cap screw (B).
B. If pleat clamp does not hold pleat (too loose), loosen cap screw (B) and rotate adjustment nut
(J) clockwise to increase pressure. Retighten cap screw (B).
NOTE: Each pleat clamp must engage the padded buck uniformily with a slight pressure. Heavy pressure may
produce a hard finish and show seam imprinting. A very light pressure may allow pleat lay to shift during the air
cycle, and show wrinkles with an improperly shaped pleat. Adequate holding of the pleat lay during the air cycle
is aided by the surface texture of the pleat clamp and the buck cover.

KEEP BAG CLEAN. In operation, bag collects dust, lint, etc., greatly reducing its efficiency. Launder bag at frequent
intervals as determined by its soiled condition.
The Cissell Pants Topper bag has a double liner to extend pad life and to distribute steam uniformily.
REPAIR HOLES OR WORN SPOTS in bag to extend its useful life: REPLACE when worn beyond repair. A defective
or worn bag will cause topper to operate unsatisfactorily. KEEP A SPARE BAG IN STOCK.

Use only genuine CISSELL PT474 bags. The fabric for the Cissell Bag is
especially woven (and cut to an exact pattern) to give the correct porosity and
shape for proper steaming and drying. Remember, your CISSELL PANTS TOPPER
depends on the bag for proper operation.
Correct padding is necessary to obtain proper finishing. The Cissell buck pad is constructed of a high, heat-resisting
synthetic air foam, and perforated for rapid steaming and full air flow through entire buck area. Replace a worn-out
pad only with a Cissell perforated pad. Keep a spare pad in stock. Do not use more than 1 pad.

Improper belt tension or misalignment of pulleys may cause bearing and/or belt failures
The illustration at the right indicates recommended
belt tension, determined by grasping the belt as
shown and when pressure is applied, a deflection of
approximately one inch will occur.
If the deflection is much more than indicated, slippage
may occur and wear out the belt.
If deflection is less than indicated, the belt is too tight
and will shorten the life of the bearings. Excessive
tension will actually pull the shaft through the oil film
and allow metal to metal contact. Noisy blower
operation will also occur.
The illustration at the right shows the preferred
method for checking correct alignment of the pulleys.
Excessive misalignment produces increased belt wear
and can produce lateral motion of the wheel and shaft
to the point that considerable noise can develop.

SLEEVE BEARINGS: Motors with wool-packed sleeve bearings are oiled at the factory for two
years normal operation. After two years normal operation, add annually 1/2 teaspoon electric
motor oil or SAE-10 to each bearing. For 24 hours per day operation, add one teaspoon of oil
annually.
BALL BEARING: Motors having ball bearings are packed with sufficient grease for approxi-
mately TEN YEARS of normal operation. After ten years of normal operation, the bearings and
housing should be cleaned thoroughly. Repack each bearing and the cavity back of the bearing 1/
3 full with G. E. Ball Bearing grease.
CHECK VOLTAGE AND CURRENT:
