1.6 Safety arrangements of t e press
The Big-O-Lite pneu is equipped with different safety arrangements, to make a safe usage possi le.
Main fuse 16A
The main fuse 16A is located in the lower of the heat press. In case of an overcharge, the main fuse prevents the heat press from getting
damaged. Once the fuse was activated, it has to e replaced. The instruction for replacing the main fuse can e found in chapter 4.3
T ermal fuse
The thermal fuse is placed directly on the heating plate and it stops the power supply if the temperature exceeds 260°C. If this fuse is
activated, the temperature sinks down to 90°C. After that the power supply gets activated again and the temperature of the heating plate
rises and you can work with the press again. Certainly you need to install a new thermal fuse within the next days. The instruction for the
replacement of the thermal fuse can e found in chapter 4.9.
Automatic switc -off
If the press doesn't get opened within 15 seconds after the pressing progress, the heating element switches off automatically, to avoid fire
danger.
Safety valve
The safety valve 6.0 ar is placed at the pressure pipe in the press. I the pressure should exceed 6.0 ar, the valve will e activated
automatically.
Emergency s ut-off
In dangerous situations you may just push the red utton at the front of the press. The press will open automatically. To resume your work
pull the utton to you.

2.1 Tips for transport
The SCHULZE Big-O-Lite is covered in protective foil for transport and fixed onto the pallet. Right after the receiving you should check if
the foil and the press are in good condition. Later on, if you have to send the press somewhere, we ask you to fix the press in the same
way on the pallet. The press has to e cold for the transport.
2.2 Installation of t e eat press
Remove the protective foil. The press is placed on a metal plate with handles for easier transport. The press should e transported y 2
people. The device must e carried carefully with attention to proper alance. The press may e located on a special, metal closet, which
must e assem led as instructed.
Instruction for t e closet assembly:
1. Using a hex key screw the closet walls and vertical connectors together (p otos 1-2)
2. Insert protective caps (p otos 3-5)
3. Place the metal shelf in the closet (p otos 6-7)
