Installation and Set-Up
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 your 3M Representative.
Machine Set-Up
Important  Read "Warnings" on page 17
before attempting to set-up the case sealer
for operation.
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 Figures 3-1 and 3-2 to identify the various
components of the case sealer.
Receiving And Handling
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 mainte-
nance.
PACKAGING AND SEPARATE PARTS
1. Lift off fiberboard cover off pallet after removing
staples at bottom.
2. Remove protective wrapping around machine.
3. Remove hardware that secures case sealer legs
to pallet.
4. Cut cable ties that secure upper assembly to
machine bed on each side of machine. Remove
and discard cable ties and foam blocks.
5. Ensure that the tape drum bracket assembly,
located on the lower taping head, is mounted
straight down, as shown in Figure 2-1A. The
tape drum bracket assembly can be pivoted to
provide tape roll clearance in certain cases.
6. Use appropriate material handling equipment to
remove the machine from the pallet and move it
into position.
CAUTION  Machine weighs
approximately 208 kg [4 0 pounds]
uncrated.
Note  Minimum machine bed height can be
reduced to 400 mm [15.75 inch] by moving
outer columns up one set of mounting holes.
However this change also reduces minimum
box height of 127 mm [5.00 inch] to 232 mm
[9.12 inch]. (See "Special Set-Up Procedure
 Outer Column Re-positioning" page 24.)
Refer to Figure 2-1C and set the machine bed
height as follows:
a. Use appropriate material handling
equipment and blocking techniques to raise
the machine frame to allow adequate leg
ad ustment.
b. Loosen, but do not remove, two M8 x 16
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.
7. Ad ust machine 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 510 mm [20 in]
minimum to 690 mm [27.25 in] maximum.

Installation and Set-Up (Continued)
Figure 2-1  Conveyor Bed Height Adjustment and Lower Tape Drum Bracket Position
BOX SIZE CAPACITY OF CASE SEALER
At its factory setting, the case sealer handles
box sizes up to 533 mm [21.00 in] maximum
height. If larger capacity is needed, the
machine can be ad usted to accommodate
boxes up to 644 mm [25.38 in] high. Refer to
page 24, "Special Set-Up Procedures  Outer
Column Re-positioning", for set-up procedure.
Note  Adjusting machine to accommodate 644
mm [25.38 in] high boxes also increases
minimum box size to 232 mm [9.12 in].
OUTBOARD TAPE ROLL MOUNTING (Lower
Taping Head Alternate Position)
Remove the tape drum bracket assembly,
spacer and fasteners from the lower taping
head. Install and secure on the infeed end of
the lower frame, as shown in Figure 2-1B.
TAPING HEADS
Tape Width  the taping heads have been pre-
set to accommodate 72 mm [3 inch] wide tape
rolls. To apply 48 mm [2 inch] or 42 mm
[1.75 inch] wide tapes, refer to Section II,
"Ad ustments  Tape Web Alignment", page 11.
Tape Leg Length  taping heads are pre-set to
apply 70 mm [2.75 in] long tape legs. To
change tape legs to 50 mm [2.0 inch], refer to
Section I, "Special Set-Up Procedure 
Changing Tape Leg Length", page 24.

Installation and Set-Up (Continued)
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION AND CONTROLS
The electrical control box, located on the lower
right side of the machine frame, contains the
pre-set circuit breaker. The control box can be
located on the opposite side of the machine
frame 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, 6.4
Amp electrical service. The receptacle
providing this service shall be properly
grounded. Before the power cord is plugged
into 115 Volt, 60 Hz outlet make sure the red
"Off" button is depressed and that all packaging
materials and tools are removed from the
machine. Do not plug electrical cord into
outlet until ready to run machine.
Note  Machines outside the U.S. may be
equipped with 220/240 Volt 50 Hz systems
or other electrical requirements compatible
with local practice.
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 run boxes.
PNEUMATIC CONNECTION
The case sealer requires a 6.5 bar gauge
pressure [95 PSIG], 110 litre/min @ 21° C,
1.01 bar [3.75 SCFM] compressed air supply.
Using customer supplied air hose (8 mm [.31 in]
I.D.) and clamp provided with machine, connect
plant air to barbed fitting on inlet side of
"On/Off" valve. See Figure 2-2. Note: If
another type of connector is desired the barbed
fitting can be replaced with the desired 1/4-18
NPT connector.
WARNING  Use care when working
with compressed air.
Note  The air valve has provisions for lock
out/tag out according to plant regulations.

recommended, causing slippage
and premature belt wear.

3 E-Stop Switch
The E-Stop switch kills electrical power and
exhaust air pressure from the drive belt
assemblies. The upper head assembly will
raise to its upper most position. To restart
machine, rotate E-stop switch (releases switch
latch) and then restart machine by pressing
electrical switch "I" (On) button on side guard
of machine.
4Door
The door is equipped with a safety interlock
which kills electrical power and exhaust air
pressure from the drive belt assemblies. The
upper head assembly will raise to its upper
most position when the door is opened.
5 Raising Switch, Upper Taping Head Frame
This switch, when touched by the leading
edge of a box, pneumatically raises the upper
frame to allow insertion of a box under the
upper frame, as the box moves under the
switch, releasing it, the upper frame descends
on the box and the drive belts convey the box
through the machine. When switch is
actuated by hand, the upper frame rises to its
maximum height. Released, the upper frame
descends to its rest position.
WARNING  The E-Stop switch or
door must not be used for raising
the upper head assembly for maintenance
work. If these are used the upper head
assembly could lower during maintenance
work causing injury to personnel.
Centering Switch, Box Drive Belts
This pneumatic switch controls the closing
(centering) of the drive belts. When switch is
activated by a box passing under it, the drive
belts close and center the box.
7Air Pressure Regulator, Box Drive Belt
Centering  Figure 3-4.
This regulator is used to ad ust drive belt
centering pressure. The factory set point is 5
turns clockwise. If more pressure is needed to
center box, turn knob clockwise to desired
pressure. If box is being crushed, turn knob
counterclockwise to relieve pressure.
Regulator is locked by tightening screw.
8Air Pressure Gauge, Upper Taping Head
Frame
This gauge, used in con unction with the upper
frame air regulator, provides operator with a
reference pressure setting for various size/
weight boxes.
