Step 1: Inserng levelers/casters.
Tools needed:
 3/4” Wrench and
Socket
 3/4” Wrench and
Socket
Parts needed:
 4 x Levelers/Casters
 Base
1. Install the leveling nut onto the leveling bolt unl
it’s 1” from the bolt head. When installing the levelers
ensure that they are all the same height. Use a 3/4”
wrench on the head of the bolt and a 3/4” wrench on
the nut to ghten. Repeat this process for each leg on
the press
2. To install the caster system thread the top of the
bolt into the boom of the press, where the levelers
would be installed. Thread unl the very boom.
3. Aer the casters are threaded by hand, use a 3/4”
deep socket wrench to ghten.

Step 2: Installing the print head.
5. Aer both springs and hog rings
are aached, push down the print
head to insert a stop bolt with a 1/2”
washer into the upper hole of the
print head.
6. Screw on a 1/2” washer and a lock
nut onto the other side of the bolt.
Tighten the stop bolt by hand as much
as possible. Repeat steps 1-6 for every
print head on the press.
Parts needed:
 6 x Stop Bolts
 12 x Hog Rings
 12 x Nylon Nengs
 12 x 1/2” Flat Washers
 12 x Lock Nuts
1. Raise the print head and insert
a spring into the boom-le hole
of the aachment arm bracket.
2. Cover the spring with nylon
neng and leave the top of the
spring exposed.
3. Connect the hog ring to the
spring and then hook the hog ring
onto the print head. Use the hole
closest to the print head.
4. Pull the nylon neng over
the hog ring to cover the enre
assembly. Repeat steps 1-3 for
the other side of the print
head.

Step 3: Installing the print arms.
Tools needed:
 Hammer
 3/4” Socket
Wrench
Parts needed:
 16 x Hex Bolts (1.5” x 25mm)
 16 x Flat Washers (1/2”)
 8 x Roll Pins
1. It’s very important to match the
numbers on the print arm with the
numbers on the base. These are factory
set for proper leveling and alignment.
Align the holes on the print arm with
the holes on the base.
2. Insert a bolt (1.5”x 25mm)
and 1/2” at washer into the
top-right corner rst and the
boom-le corner second.
Only ghten by hand for now.
3. Insert a roll pin into the middle-right
hole rst, followed by the middle-le hole
second. Aer both pins are inserted by
hand, lightly hammer them so it inserts
into the hole of the press base. Leave 1/4
of the pin exposed.
4. Aer both spring pins are installed, insert the other
two hex bolts and at washer so that every corner hole
is lled.
5.Aer installing the two bolts with the washers, ghten
them with a 3/4” socket wrench. Do not overghten to avoid
compressing the print arm. Repeat steps 1-5 for every print
head. Don’t adjust the bolts on the support arm, which are
located under the print arm.

Step 4: Aaching the platens.
Parts needed:
 Platens
1. Lower one of the print heads and slide
the platen onto the print arm unl it’s 1/2”
from the end of the screen clamp. Securely
ghten the boom knob. Repeat for every
print head.
Congratulaons! The Mach Series is now
fully assembled.
Remember, don’t adjust the bolts and nuts located on the support arms. They are factory set for proper
leveling and alignment. One of the many advantages of the Mach Series is that when it’s manufactured it’s
also fully assembled, making it leveled and inspected at the factory. This quality control process is to ensure
success when assembling the press on locaon.

Adjusng the O Contact: (A, E & I)
Even though the Mach is automacally set at a
standard o contact, there will be instances that
require adjusng it. To adjust, loosen the o contact
adjustment knob (A) and unscrew/screw down the
o contact adjustment knob to adjust the foot pad
(I) to the desired o contact. Tighten the jam knob
(E) to prevent the o contact knob (A) from moving,
avoid over ghtening.

Adjusng the Screen Tilt: (H, H1, & H2)
First, loosen the screen lt jam knob (H1) to create
room to adjust the screen lt and loosen the screen
lt knob (H). Hold the screen and lt it so that the
screen is parallel with the pallet. Then ghten the
screen lt jam knob (H1) unl it’s against the
screen lt ring (H2). While holding the screen lt
jam knob, ghten the screen lt knob unl it ght-
ens the screen lt jam knob against the screen lt
ring.
Tip: To set the o contact consistently, use two 16x1”
10mm strips of plasc for each distance. Place one strip
on the platen and one at the front and back of the
screen ,adjust the screen lt (H) unl it makes contact
with both strips. This will ensure that the front of the
screen is parallel with the back of the screen.
