Installation and Set-Up
Receiving And Handling
Figure 2-1 – Set-Up and Installation
Note – A tool kit consisting of metric open
end and hex socket wrenches is provided
with the machine. These tools should be
adequate to set-up the machine, however,
other tools supplied by the customer will be
required for machine maintenance.
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.
Machine Set-Up
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 to identify the various components of
the case sealer.
Important – Read "Warnings" on page 16
before attempting to set-up the case sealer
for operation.
1. Lift fiberboard cover off pallet after removing
staples at bottom.
2. 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.

Installation and Set-Up (Continued)
MACHINE BED HEIGHT
Adjust machine bed height. The case sealer is
equipped with four adjustable legs that are
located at the corners of the machine frame.
The legs can be adjusted to obtain different
machine bed heights from 610 mm [24 in]
minimum to 855 mm [35 in] maximum.
Refer to Figure 2-3C and set the machine bed
height as follows:
1. Raise and block up the machine frame to
allow adequate leg adjustment.
2. Loosen, but do not remove, two M8 x 16
socket head screws in one leg (use M6 hex
wrench). Adjust the leg length for the
desired machine bed height. Retighten the
two screws to secure the leg. Adjust all four
legs equally.
Figure 2-2 – Drive Assemblies
Note – The drive belt assemblies can be
raised 55 mm [2.16 in] to provide better
conveying of tall boxes. Refer to "Special Set-
Up Procedure – Drive Belt Height", page 27
for set-up procedure. (Raising drive belts
increases the minimum box height that can
be taped to 115 mm [4.50 in].
3. Install the crank handle on the top of the left
column, as shown in Figure 2-1A.
4. Install the upper tape drum bracket on the top
cross bar, as shown in Figure 2-1B.
5. Remove height stop plates on both columns
(from shipping position) and re-install with
screws in lower set of holes as shown in
Figure 2-1C.
6. Install drive belt assemblies. Refer to
Figure 2-2.
a. Crank upper taping head to its fully raised
position.
b. Install drive belt assemblies on mounting
shafts with exposed belt towards inside of
case sealer and drive motor at exit end of
machine. Note – Keep drive motors in
vertical position to prevent gear oil from
leaking out of transmission.
c. Fasten drive belt assemblies in place with
spacer (A), special washer (B) and M6 x 16
flat head screw (C) on each mounting shaft.
TAPE DRUM BRACKET (Lower Taping Head)
Ensure that the tape drum bracket assembly is
mounted straight down, as shown in
Figure 2-3A. The tape drum bracket assembly
can be pivoted to provide clearance or for retrofit
in certain cases.
Outboard tape roll mounting (Alternate Position) –
Remove the tape drum bracket assembly, stud
spacer and fasteners from the taping head.
Install and secure on the infeed end of the lower
frame, as shown in Figure 2-3B.
d. Plug each motor cord into receptacle on
each side of case sealer bed and secure
with receptacle clamp.

Installation and Set-Up (Continued)
BOX SIZE CAPACITY OF CASE SEALER
At its factory setting, the case sealer handles
box sizes up to 570 mm [22.38 in] maximum
height. If larger capacity is needed, the machine
can be adjusted to accommodate boxes up to
670 mm [26.38 in] high. Refer to page 28,
"Special Set-Up Procedures – Box Height Range",
for set-up procedure.
Note – Adjusting machine to accommodate
670 mm [26.38 in] high boxes also increases
minimum box size to 170 mm [6.75 in].
Note – Machines outside the U.S. may be
equipped with 220/240 Volt, 50 Hz systems,
or other electrical requirements compatible
with local practice.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The electrical control box (mounted on the lower
right side of the machine frame) contains the pre-
set circuit breaker. The box can be relocated to
the other side of the machine if desired. A
standard three conductor power cord with plug is
provided at the back of the electrical control box
for 115 Volt, 60 Hz, 2.8 Amp electrical service.
The receptacle providing this service shall be
properly grounded. Before the power cord is
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 adjusted to run boxes.
Figure 2-3 – Machine Bed Height Adjustment and Lower Tape Drum Bracket Position
TAPE LEG LENGTH
Taping heads are pre-set to apply 50 mm [2 in]
long tape legs. To change tape legs to 70 mm
[2.75 in], see "Special Set-Up Procedures",
page 28.
WARNING – 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.
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 ft], and must be properly grounded.
