3. Machine Setup and Installation
TAKE CARE TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE MOTOR AND ASSEMBLY WHILE
LIFTING OR TRANSPORTING THE MACHINE!
3.1 Transportation
Use a fork lift or tow motor to remove the machine from its shipping container or pallet.
3.2 Working Height Adjustment
While elevated, install the adjustable legs onto the machine. Set each leg to the same height to ensure the
machine is level when placed onto the ground.
The working height should be set such that the operator is able to comfortably reach the roller table while
maintaining approximately 4in (100mm) of distance from the machine.
3.3 Tape Head Installation
Rest the upper tape head on the carriage placing the notches in the rear of the tape head onto the supporting
shaft. Pull out the draw rod by the key ring, lower the tape head and release the key ring. For the lower tape
head, remove the front supporting shaft. Rest the rear of the tape head on the rear supporting shaft. Place
the front supporting shaft on the angled notches in the front of the tape head and lower the tape head down
guiding the pin into the notches in the frame.
Check tape cutter position and adjust as needed.
3.4 Connect Power Supply
Connect the machine to the power supply.
Note: Prior to connecting the machine to the power supply, verify that the power switch is set to the
‘OFF’ position and that the work area is clean and clear of any items.

4. Operation
4.1 Standard Operation
Prior to operating the machine, please confirm that
1. The proper voltage is being supplied to the motor
2. All fasteners and protective covers are securely in place
3. All electronic components are dry
Machine Operation
1. Plug the machine into the power source
a. DO NOT hard wire the machine to the power source
2. Adjust horizontal and vertical guides to accommodate cartons to be sealed
3. Press the button labeled ‘Start’
4. Verify belt movement direction
5. Place carton to be sealed into the feed side of the machine
a. Cartons must be placed in the center of the roller table for proper feed through the
machine
After operating the machine for two to five minutes, check the following
1. Horizontal guide adjustment lever is firmly in place and belts do not have excess slack
a. Belt deviation (slack) should be checked once every ten days
b. Adjust belt tension as needed
2. Vertical guide adjustment is firmly in place and belts do not have excess slack
a. Belt deviation (slack) should be checked once every ten days
b. Adjust belt tension as needed
3. Verify that tape is being dispensed in a consistent manner that ensures a smooth application onto
the carton being fed through the machine.
TURN OFF MACHINE AND DISCONNECT IT FROM THE POWER SOURCE
PRIOR TO PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE OR SERVICE
4.2 Adjustable Work Height
Put the nut plate into the leg support according to the figure.
Then loosely connect the fastening piece and the nut plate with
the socket head cap screws. Insert the leg between the leg
support and nut plate. The leg can now be adjusted up and
down as desired. Tighten the screws.
The working height should be set such that the operator is able
to comfortably reach the roller table while maintaining
approximately 4in (100mm) of distance from the machine.
