OWNER’S SAFETY RESPONSIBILITY
Owners and operators of the MSD22 carton sealer are responsible for maintaining an effective
safety program. This program should be consistent with good management practices and meet all
requirements of applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances. Employees must be aware of and
trained to recognize the specific requirements, precautions, and hazards of the sealing machines.
SAFETY AWARENESS
Careful machine operation is the key to safe job performance. Reasonable care and good judgment
in machine operation contribute to operator safety and safety of others. Failure to follow simple safety
rules and precautions may result in an accident. Always be aware of what is going on in the work
area. Recognize hazardous situations before they become an accident.
HAZARD COMMUNICATION STATEMENT AND PRECAUTIONS
Four indicator signal words appear throughout this manual to call your attention to special information,
operating procedures, and safety precautions as described below.
This indicator draws emphasis to special information about
equipment operation and maintenance procedures.
NOTE:
This indicator specifies special instructions or procedures meant
to prevent damage to the equipment, associated components, or
products.
IMPORTANT:
This indicator signals hazards or unsafe practices that could result in
minor personal injury or property damage.
SCAUTION:
SWARNING:
SDANGER:
To prevent accidental start-up and personal injury during routine
maintenance or when troubleshooting problems, always turn off the
power to the machine first. Then disconnect the machine’s electrical and
compressed air lines from the main supply, and release all stored energy
before commencing work. If the power is not turned off, accidental
startup could result in injury.
This indicator signals hazards or unsafe practices that could result in
severe personal injury or death, if the instructions are not followed.

equipment. If an information sign is damaged, replace it as soon as possible.
2. Never climb or work on equipment while it is operating nor allow anyone else.
3. Inspect all equipment components before each operation shift for damaged parts or parts
suspected of sustaining damage. Repair or replace any damaged or defective components
before starting or operating the equipment.
4. Before starting or operating equipment, perform a walk-around inspection of the workplace and
the equipment. Make sure that no workers, tools, parts, or foreign objects are in, on, under, or
around the equipment.
5. Do not operate equipment if safety gates are not in place. Check safety gates and other safety
devices for proper installation and safe working condition.
6. Before starting equipment make sure that all personnel or visitors know that the equipment is
going to be started.
7. When starting equipment, follow the manufacturer’s recommended starting sequence.
8. Do not allow anyone to start or operate any equipment unless they have been trained in safe

Installation/Setup
SETUP PROCEDURE
It is important that the MSD22 series be setup and operated with the product prior to being subjected
to the production environment where time for setup, adjustment, and operator training is usually
limited.
CAUTION: Make sure machine power is turned off. Be careful with the driving direction of the
conveyer.
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT: Once both tape heads are loaded with tape, the upper tape head can
be positioned for the box height being sealed by means of the height adjustment crank. Turn (H)
clockwise to decrease height or counter-clockwise to increase height. [Fig 2-1]
BOX SIZE SETUP: Place a closed box under the top drive frame. Lower the frame until all flaps are
fully closed. Align the box top flap center seam with the center of the frame. [Fig 2-2]

Installation/Setup
WIDTH ADJUSTMENT CRANK: Turn the handle (W) clockwise for narrow and smaller packages;
turn the handle counter-clockwise for wider and larger packages. [Fig 2-3]
COMPRESSION ROLLERS: Adjust the compression rollers against the top edge of the box and
tighten the knobs to secure them in the operating position. [Fig 2-4]
FRAME ADJUSTMENT: Turn electrical switch to the “ON” position to start the drive belts. Move the
box forward under the top tape head frame until taken away by the drive belts. If the box is hard to
move or is crushed, raise the frame slightly to decrease pressure. If the box movement is erratic or
stops under the frame, lower the frame slightly to add more pressure between the box and the drive
belts.
FIGURE 2-3 FIGURE 2-4
CAUTION: If drive belts are allowed to slip on
the box. Excessive belt wear will occur.

DAILY PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
MachineMaintenance
Two-Minute Maintenance (after every shift)
In order to maintain your BestPack®carton sealer in top operating condition, please take two minutes
after every shift change to perform the following maintenance procedure.
1. Clean the Machine
a. Blow the machine down with dry air paying special attention to all moving parts.
2. Clean the Blade
a. Wipe down the cutting blades with a clean rag making sure to remove any glue and
plastic film that may have adhered to the blade.
(i) For stubborn accumulation, spray some solvent; i.e., WD-40 or Zylene, onto a
rag to wipe the blade clean.
CAUTION ! Do NOT get WD-40 on the rubber rollers. Do NOT
use any hard objects to scrape accumulation from the
blade as it could damage the blade.
b. Wipe a thin layer of Vaseline onto the blade as your last cleaning step.
3. Water Reservoir (applicable if the machine uses air)
a. If your carton sealer uses air, check for moisture build-up in the water reservoir.
b. If there is water in the reservoir, bleed off any moisture that has accumulated in the
water reservoir of the air regulator by pushing the button located at the bottom of the
glass container on the main regulator.
IMPORTANT SAFETY REMINDER! Remember to lockout all energy sources (i.e. power down and
shut off air supply) and release stored energy prior to servicing or moving the machine to prevent
injury
