INTRODUCTION
This can sealer was thoroughly inspected and tested at the factory before shipment. Immediately
upon receipt, carefully check the can sealer for damage before using it. Do not operate the can sealer
if it is damaged; call (920)-682-8627 for further instruction.
The EL-8000B comes with the No. 300 Chuck and the S-203B Base Plate. These are designed and set
up to seal a 24oz or 32oz Crowler® can. A sample can was used to set up the machine and was locked
in place during shipping to help protect the machine. (Please note the can might look a little dented.
This will not happen when you have a full can.) Prior to removing the container, lower and raise the
base plate by turning the Can Lifter Handle as far as possible to the left and then back to the right a
few times. Pay attention to the amount of pressure you have to apply to the Lifter Handle when
locking the can into place. It is good to develop a feel for the amount of base plate pressure required
to properly seal a can. Most beer cans have a diameter of 300 (3” diameter) and the No. 300 Chuck
will work. Cans with a bigger or smaller diameter will require a different size Chuck and Base Plate.
Height adjustment with spacers is necessary before attempting to seal other size cans like the 24oz
can.
GETTING STARTED
1. The sealer can be firmly attached to a table or bar using the four bolt holes (cast into sealer
base) to bolt down the sealer. If that isn’t possible, put a bar mat underneath the base of the
machine to prevent any vibration. The weight of the machine will keep it in place.
2. Connect plug to proper receptacle, either 120 or 240 volt depending on your machine.
3. For operation, the seaming lever rivets (CY-22R) should be in the number 2 hole of the cam
roller arms (S-222B). (They come in the number 10 hole for shipping.)
4. Start the motor by switching the cord’s toggle switch to the on position.
5. Lower the Base Plate (S-203B) by turning the Can Lifter Handle (CY-10) as far as possible to the
left.
6. Place lid on filled can and set can on Base Plate (S-203B).
7. Raise can until it is clamped firmly between the Base Plate and Chuck (No. 300) by turning Can
Lifter Handle (CY-10) as far as possible to the right until handle locks itself against the Frame
(S-201). The can is now ready to be sealed.
8. To start operation, push the Reset Lever (No. 90) to the right. The Reset Lever is located on
the right side of the frame. The sealer will make one complete cycle and stop.
9. When sealer is stopped, pull can lifter handle toward you and remove can.

ADJUSTMENTS & SEAM GAUGE
Check the adjustment of the Seaming Rolls occasionally. First
check the height adjustment as follows: When Chuck (A in sketch)
is held up tightly against the Ball Bearing (S-201BB), the underside
of the top flange on the Seaming Roll (B in sketch) must fit closely
on top of Chuck (A). To make adjustments, push the Cam Roller
Lever (S-222B) toward Chuck until Seaming Roll touches the Chuck.
Slightly loosen Screw (CY-9LS) which is “C” in sketch, push down on
Roller Bearing Lever that contains Seaming Roll (B) until top flange
of Seaming Roll (B) rests on top of Chuck (A). Now tighten Screw
(CY-9LS) which is “C” in sketch as tight as possible.
This adjustment should be made on both 1st and 2nd Operation
Rolls. After height adjustment has been made, use the Seam
Gauge which is for checking the seam on 24 or 32oz aluminum beer
cans with a 300 diameter only.
Use the seam gauge as follows: Remove the Rivet (CY-22R) on the Second Operation Cam Roller
Lever (S-222B). The second operation is on the right side if you are facing the front of the machine.
Run an empty can in the machine to seal the First Operation. Remove the can and slip the Gauge
over the seam. The groove marked “1st” should slide over seam on can. The seam will not fill the
entire length of the groove but the Gauge should slip on far enough so that it touches the can cover.
If groove in Gauge will not slip over seam, tighten Seaming Roll (CY-14B) by loosening Lock Nut (No.
24N) and turning Adjusting Screw (No. 24AS) not more than a quarter turn to the right. If the groove
in Gauge is loose on the seam, turn the Adjusting Screw to the left. Repeat above operation with
another empty can until Seam Gauge fits over seam correctly. When first operation seam is correct,
change the Rivet (CY-22R) from the First Operation Levers to the Second Operation Levers and adjust
the Second Operation Roll in the same manner as the First Operation Roll using the can that has a
proper first operation roll seam. The groove in the Seam Gauge marked “2nd” is used when adjusting
the Second Operation Roll (CY-15B). Be sure to tighten the Lock Nuts (No. 24N) after adjusting each
roller.
If it is necessary to operate sealer without a can in place, remove Chuck (No. 300) to prevent
damage to it and Seaming Rolls.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
Reasons for Clicking:
1. The No. 92 Clutch Assembly is not riding up on the No. 94 Clutch Knockout far enough.
2. The No. 92 Clutch Assembly is sliding back down the No. 94 Clutch Knockout when the tension
on the can is released to remove the can. This will be the case if the can sealer is very free
running.
3. Lack of sufficient grease under the chuck, on the gears, and oil on parts where the instruction
books shows to oil.
4. Too many height washers on the base plate shaft which results in too much tension on the
can lifter handle. This will cause the unit to run tight.
How to Eliminate Clicking:
Reasons #1 and #2 above:
The No. 94 Clutch Knockout is attached to the No. 99 Bracket which is attached to the CY-1X Frame by
two bolt, lock washer, and nut assemblies. Loosen both assemblies only; do not remove them. Grasp
the No. 90 Reset Lever and decrease the angle of the No. 94 Clutch Knockout by lowering the No. 90
Reset Lever. Always do this in small increments because too low of an angle is not good either.
Reason #3 above:
Remove chuck and apply grease as shown below:
Chuck No. 94 Clutch Knockout
Apply grease to entire shaft of the chuck and also on the whole top of the chuck where the arrow is
pointing in the diagram. Apply grease to the clutch knockout where the arrow is pointing in the
diagram. Also, grease and oil the unit where shown in the instruction book.
Reason #4 above:
Remove 1/16" height washer at a time until you have achieved the proper tension.
Can isn’t spinning properly:
1. Increase belt tension as follows: Loosen lock nut on the tensioning bolt, then turn
tensioning bolt to the right to increase tension. After adjustment, tighten the lock nut.
