the capacity shown on the nameplate or they may cause damage to the stretch
wrapper or injure personnel. Also, be sure to have the serial number of the
stretch wrapper handy if you have to call the factory. The serial number identifies
your specific stretch wrapper and will allow factory personnel to give you the

SECTION 4. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Series 100 Stretch Wrap Machines
Equipment and Supplies Required:
1. Equipment to maneuver the Advance Lifts Stretch Wrapper into position. All
units are manufactured with forklift pockets for maneuvering.
2. An electrical fused disconnect (if required), wiring and fittings for the branch
circuit and the appropriate receptacle. While not necessary, Advance Lifts
recommends that this unit be connected to a dedicated circuit.
Shipping and Packaging Warning:
The stretch wrapper is shipped from the factory in one piece. No assembly is
required. The unit comes with a pre-wired electrical system that is ready to plug
in and is fully tested at the factory for ease of installation. However, if the installer
does not carefully follow these installation instructions, it is possible to damage
the equipment, so please read this entire procedure before proceeding with the
installation.
Equipment Location:
1. The floor should be flat and level concrete that is strong enough to support
the weight of the unit.
2. The equipment is suitable for indoor operation only.
3. Advance recommends a minimum of 3 feet clearance at the sides and behind
the stretch wrapper. An area in the front or the side of the stretch wrapper
must be obstruction free to accommodate the loading of pallets. The area
around the controls of the unit must be kept clear in order to prevent tripping
hazards during the loading and wrapping process.
Unloading and Final Positioning:
1. The preferred system of unloading is with a fork lift. Most stretch wrappers
are shipped attached to a shipping pallet or skid. Remove the unit from the
truck using the shipping skid. Once the unit is off the truck and safely on
the floor, remove all the banding and straps holding the unit to the skid.
2. There are fork pockets located on all Advance stretch wrappers
specifically for the purpose of lifting and moving the units. Forks should be
spaced so as to slide into both fork pockets and should be inserted as far
as possible. Care should be taken to prevent damage to the machine with
the forks. Lift the stretch wrapper off the skid and place it in the final
location.
3. After the unit is in position, clearance around the unit should be checked.
A minimum of 3 feet is recommended.
4. Optionally, drill the concrete and insert the four (4) anchors at the
locations provided in the base and tighten securely.
5. Assure power outlet voltage is the same as the voltage identified on the
machine. Depress E-Stop button (Model 150 & 175) and connect machine
to electrical power.
P 4-1

SECTION 5. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS, FILM LOADING
Model 100
This model is designed to use hand wrapping film with a core tube which
extends beyond the film edge.
Model 125
This model is designed to use 12-18” wide hand wrap film. Any standard
film gauge is acceptable for use with this machine. Film tensioning is by means
of a frictional brake. Wrap tension can be varied by rotating an adjustment knob
located on the top of the film carriage. Rotating the knob clockwise increases film
tension. To load film, remove the friction adjustment knob assembly by rotating it
counter clockwise until it disengages from the carriage. Slide film roll down over
shaft until it engages the lower film support bearing at the bottom. Replace top
film bearing and adjustment knob assembly and tighten until the desired tension
is obtained.
Model 150
This model is designed to use 20” wide industrial film with a 3” core. Any
standard film gauge is acceptable for use with this machine. Film tensioning is by
means of a frictional brake. Wrap tension can be varied by rotating an adjustment
knob located on the top of the film carriage. Rotating the knob clockwise
increases film tension. To load film, remove the friction adjustment knob
assembly by rotating it counter clockwise until it disengages from the carriage.
Slide film roll down over shaft until it engages the lower film support bearing at
the bottom. Replace top film bearing and adjustment knob assembly and tighten
unit the desired tension is obtained.
Model 175
This model is designed to use 20” wide industrial machine film with a 3”
core. To load film, rotate the core retainer up, load film on stationary lower
retainer then rotate the top retainer back into place to secure film. This unit
utilizes a geared mechanical pre-stretch which must be loaded, in accordance
with the illustration below. Due to the nature of pre-stretch, heavier gauge films
are recommended for use.

surprises to these personnel in regard to movement of position of the unit at any
time. Never operate the unit if you cannot see it or the personnel around it.
5. As the product begins to turn, adjust tension of the stretch wrap film dispenser
to achieve the desired wrapping tension.
6. When the desired amount of film has been placed on the load, remove
pressure from the footswitch.
7. After the platform has stopped rotating, break the film midway between the
product and attach film tail to product.
8. The pallet may now be removed from the platform.
CAUTION !
