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 225 comes with either the CY-28 No. 2 Chuck or the CY-27 No. 3 chuck and the CY-3 Base Plate.
These are designed and set up to seal a No. 2 or No. 3 can. A sample can was used to set up the
machine and was locked in place during shipping to help protect the machine. 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. 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.
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, you can use a C-clamp to attach the sealer
to a bench top.
2. For operation, the seaming lever rivets (CY-22R) should be in the number 2 or the size you are
sealing hole of the cam roller lever (CY-22).
3. Lower the Base Plate (CY-3) by turning the Can Lifter Handle (CY-10) as far as possible to the
left.
4. Place lid on filled can and set can on Base Plate (CY-3).
5. Raise can until it is clamped firmly between the Base Plate and Chuck by turning Can Lifter
Handle (CY-10) as far as possible to the right until handle locks itself against the Frame (CY-1).
The can is now ready to be sealed.
6. Turn the Hand Crank (CY-11) until the first operation roller touches the can. Continue to turn
until the first operation roller pulls away from the can. This hooks the lid to the can. Keep
turning the Hand Crank until the second operation roller touches the can; continue to turn
until the second operation roller pulls away from the can. This finishes the seal. (You will turn
the hand crank a total of 18 times).
7. When both arms are away from the can, pull can lifter handle toward you and remove can.
8. Wipe down the machine frequently to prevent buildup of foreign material.

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 Brass Bushing (CY-1BER), 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
Adjusting Lever (CY-24) 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 any standard size can.
Use the seam gauge as follows: Remove the Rivet (CY-22R) on the Second Operation Cam Roller
Lever (CY-22). 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 First Operation Roller (CY-14) by loosening Lock Nut
(CY-24LN) and turning Adjusting Screw (CY-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 Roller in the same manner as the First Operation Roller using the
can that has a proper first operation roller seam. The groove in the Seam Gauge marked “2nd” is used
when adjusting the Second Operation Roller (CY-15). Be sure to tighten the Lock Nuts (CY-24LN)
after adjusting each roller.
If it is necessary to operate sealer without a can in place, remove Chuck (CY-28) to prevent damage
to it and Seaming Rolls.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
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.
Operation rollers aren’t spinning properly:
1. If the rollers aren’t kept clean, over time buildup from certain liquids can form and lock the
roller into place. Remove the Roller Bearing Lever and soak assembly in warm soap and water
for 10 minutes to loosen buildup. Rinse clean and dry. Install Roller Bearing Lever, adjust and
oil with food grade lube oil.
