Setup and Installation
These paper towel rolls are designed for use with Tork H1 dispensers. Proper installation ensures optimal performance and hygienic dispensing.
Loading the Paper Towel Roll into a Tork H1 Dispenser
- Open the Dispenser: Locate the latch or button on your Tork H1 dispenser to open its cover. Refer to your specific dispenser's manual for exact opening instructions.
- Remove Empty Core (if applicable): If an empty paper towel core is present, remove it from the dispenser.
- Insert New Roll: Place the new Tork Matic Hand Towel Roll onto the spindle or into the designated slot within the dispenser. Ensure the paper feeds from the correct direction, typically from the bottom of the roll, to allow for proper dispensing.

- Close the Dispenser: Securely close the dispenser cover until it latches into place.

Operating Instructions
Once the Tork Matic Hand Towel Roll is correctly installed in a compatible H1 dispenser, operation is simple and designed for user convenience and hygiene.
Dispensing Towels
- Manual Dispensing: For manual H1 dispensers, simply pull the exposed end of the paper towel downwards to dispense a single sheet. The dispenser mechanism will cut the towel to the appropriate length.
- Automatic/Sensor Dispensing: For automatic or sensor-activated H1 dispensers, wave your hand in front of the sensor or activate the lever as per the dispenser's design. A single sheet of paper towel will be automatically presented.
The one-at-a-time dispensing feature helps to control usage, reduce waste, and improve hygiene by minimizing contact with the dispenser.

Maintenance
The Tork Matic Hand Towel Rolls themselves require no specific maintenance beyond proper storage. Maintenance primarily pertains to the dispenser in which they are used.
Dispenser Maintenance
- Regular Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior and interior of your Tork H1 dispenser with a mild cleaning solution and a soft cloth. This helps maintain hygiene and appearance.
- Check for Obstructions: Ensure the dispensing mechanism is free from any paper fragments or debris that could cause jams.
- Roll Replacement: Replace the paper towel roll promptly when it is empty to ensure continuous service. The transparent or translucent windows on many Tork dispensers allow for easy monitoring of paper levels.
Troubleshooting
Most issues related to paper towel dispensing are associated with the dispenser itself rather than the paper towel roll.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Paper towel not dispensing | Roll is empty or jammed. | Open the dispenser and check if the roll needs replacement. Clear any visible paper jams. Ensure the paper is correctly threaded through the dispenser mechanism. |
| Towel tears unevenly | Improper loading or worn dispenser blade. | Re-load the paper towel roll, ensuring it is seated correctly. If the problem persists, the dispenser's cutting mechanism may need inspection or servicing by a qualified technician. |
| Sensor not activating (for automatic dispensers) | Sensor obstruction or low batteries. | Clean the sensor area. Check and replace batteries if applicable. Refer to your specific automatic dispenser's manual for sensor troubleshooting. |
