Installation and Set-Up
Receiving And Handling
After the machine has been uncrated, examine the
case sealer for damage that might have occurred
during transit. If damage is evident, file a
damage claim immediately with the transportation
company and also notify your 3M Representative.
Figure 2-1  700rks Frame Set-Up
Machine Set-Up
It is recommended that the case sealer be set-up and
operated with product before placing it in the
production line. This approach will allow your
thorough review and familiarization with the 700rks
before sub ecting it and operating personnel to a
production situation where time for set-up,
ad ustments, and operator training usually becomes
limited.
The following instructions are presented in the order
recommended for setting up and installing the case
sealer. Following them step by step will result in an
installation in your production line that best utilizes
the many features built into the case sealer. Refer to
Figure 3-1 and 3/2 to identify the various components
of the machine.
For future reference, record machine serial number on
front cover of this instruction manual in the space
provided.
IMPORTANT  Read "Warnings" on page 18
before attempting to set-up the case sealer for
operation.
1. Follow "Unpacking Instructions" label attached to
corrugated packing cover.
2. Remove the four angle brackets that secure the
machine legs to the shipping pallet.

12
Installation and Set-Up (Continued)
Figure 2-2  Machine Bed Height Adjustment and Lower Tape Drum Bracket Position
3. Use appropriate material handling
equipment to remove the machine from the
pallet and move it into position.
Whenever the machine is lifted with a fork
truck, insure that the forks span completely
across the machine frame and do not
contact any wiring or mechanism under the
machine frame. In some cases the lower
taping head may need to be removed to
avoid damage.
7. Remove the plastic ties that secure the lower
taping head in place.
8. Ad ust case sealer bed height. The case sealer
is equipped with four ad ustable legs that are
located at the corners of the machine frame. The
legs can be ad usted to obtain different machine
bed heights from 520 mm [20-1/2 inches]
minimum to 785 mm [31 inches] maximum.
Refer to Figure 2-2A and set the machine bed
height as follows:
a. Block up the machine frame to allow
adequate leg ad ustment.
b. Loosen, but do not remove, two socket head
screws in one leg (use M6 hex wrench).
Ad ust the leg length for the desired machine
bed height. Retighten the two screws to
secure the leg. Ad ust all four legs equally.
CAUTION  Machine weighs
approximately 200 kg [430 lbs]
uncrated.
4. Remove tie down straps on either side of the
upper taping head frame assembly.
5. Install upper tape drum bracket on the inner
column assembly crossbar as shown in
Figure 2-1.
6. The column guards have been shipped loose with
the machine. Install the guards on the outer
columns as shown in Figure 2-1 using screws,
washers and bumper stop plates that are shipped
installed on the outer columns.

13
Installation and Set-Up (Continued)
10. Tape width  the taping heads have been pre-set
to accommodate 48 mm [2 inch] wide tape rolls.
To apply 72 mm [3 inch] wide tape refer to
Section II, "Ad ustments  Tape Web Alignment",
page 11.
11. Tape leg length  taping heads are pre-set to
apply 70 mm [2-3/4 inch] long tape legs. To
change tape leg length to 48 mm [2 inch], see
"Special Set-Up Procedure  Tape Leg Length",
page 30.
12. Box size capacity (height)  at its factory setting,
the 700rks case sealer handles box sizes up to
650 mm [25-1/2 inches] maximum height. If
larger capacity is needed, the machine can be
ad usted to accommodate up to 915 mm
[36 inch] high boxes. Refer to chart, "Minimum/
Maximum Box Height Combinations Available",
page 8.
9. Lower tape drum bracket. The tape drum
bracket may be mounted in either of two
positions on the taping head or an alternate
outboard position. These positions allow
maximum tape roll capacity at a particular
machine bed height.
For machine bed heights 635 mm [25 inches]
and above, bracket should be straight down as
shown in Figure 2-2B.
For machine bed heights from 570 to 635 mm
[22-1/2 to 25 inches], loosen hex spacer, remove
screws (2) and pivot bracket forward as shown in
Figure 2-2B. Replace and tighten screws and
hex spacer.
For machine bed heights below 570 mm
[22-1/2 inches], remove hex spacer and screws
that secure the tape drum bracket to the taping
head. Install tape drum bracket on the infeed
end of the machine frame with the hex spacer
and screws as shown in Figure 2-2C.
Figure 2-3  Pneumatic Connection
13. Upper frame assembly  operating range.
The operating speed of the 700rks case sealer
can be increased by re-positioning the upper
column stop bumpers within the range of boxes
being sealed. This re-positioning reduces the
downward movement of the upper frame thereby
increasing operating speed.
To ad ust the stop bumpers, see "Special Set-Up
Procedure  Upper Frame Assembly, Operating
Range", page 29.
14. Pneumatic Connection
WARNIN  Use care when working
with compressed air.
The case sealer requires an 85 PSIG [6.5 bar
gauge pressure] 2.5 SCFM [75 liter/min @21°C,
1.01 bar] compressed air supply.
Using customer supplied air hose (5/16 inch
[8 mm] I.D.) and clamp provided with machine,
connect plant air to barbed fitting on inlet side of
"On/Off valve. See Figure 2-3. Note: If another
type of connector is desired, the barbed fitting
can be replaced with the desired 1/4-18 NPT
connector.
Note  The air valve has provisions for lockout/
tagout according to plant regulations.

14
Installation and Set-Up (Continued)
Initial Start-Up of Case Sealer
After completing the "Installation and Set-Up"
procedure, continue through ""Operation" for tape
loading and start-up to be sure case sealer is
properly ad usted to seal boxes.
15. Electrical connection and controls  the
electrical control box (with circuit breaker) and
"On/Off" switch is located on the left side of the
machine frame. See Figure 3-1. A standard
three conductor power cord with plug is provided
at the back of the electrical control box for 115
Volt, 60 Hz, 6.4 Amp electrical service. Before
the power cord is plugged into 115 Volt, 60 Hz
outlet, make sure that all packaging materials
and tools are removed from the machine. Do not
plug electrical cord into outlet until ready to
run machine.
Use of an extension cord is not recommended.
However, if one is needed for temporary use, it
must have a wire size of 1.5 mm diameter
[AWG 16], have a maximum length of 30.5 m
[100 feet], and must be properly grounded.
Note - Machines outside the U.S. may be
equipped with 220/240 Volt, 0 Hz systems,
or other electrical requirements compatible
with local practice.
WARNIN  To prevent shock and fire
hazard: Position extension cord
where it will be out of the way of foot or
vehicle traffic. Extension cord is only for
temporary use  do not use for a
permanent installation.

15
Operation
IMPORTANT  Before operating the case sealer, read all the "Important Safeguards", pages 3-5 and
"Warnings" on page 18 as well as all of the "Operation" instructions.
Refer to Figure 3-1 to acquaint yourself with the various components and controls of the case sealer. Also see
