Important Safeguards
General
Keep hands, long hair, loose clothing, and articles such as necklaces or ties away from the front
rollers to avoid entanglement and entrapment.
Do not use the laminator for other than its intended purpose.
Do not place the laminator on an unstable car, stand or table. An unstable surface may cause
the laminator to fall resulting in serious bodily injury. Avoid quick stops, excessive force and
uneven floor surfaces when moving the laminator on a cart or stand.
Do not defeat or remove electrical and mechanical safety equipment such as interlocks, shields
and guards.
Do not insert objects unsuitable for lamination or expose the equipment to liquids.
Electrical
The laminator should be connected only to a source of power as indicated in these instructions
and on the serial plate located on the rear of the laminator. Contact an electrician should the
attachment plug provided with the laminator not match the receptacles at your location.
CAUTION: The receptacle must be located near the equipment and easily
accessible.
Disconnect the attachment plug from the receptacle to which it is connected and keep the
power supply cord in your possession while moving the laminator.
Do not operate the laminator with a damaged power supply cord or attachment plug, upon
occurrence of a malfunction, or after the laminator has been damaged. Contact Ibico’s Technical
Service Department or your dealer/distributor for assistance.

E. Feed Table: Fig (3). The feed table has a safety interlock switch. When the table is
removed, power to the motors is also removed.
F. Front Rollers: Fig (3). Prints are fed into the roller so that pressure sensitive materials
may be applied to prints.
G. Idler Bar: Fig (3). The idler bar located near the supply roll is used to direct the film to
the rollers and helps to release the liner from pressure sensitive films.
H. Film Shafts and Core Adapters: Fig (3). The core adapters are inserted into the ends
of the film cores. The film shaft is inserted through the centers of the core adapters then
placed on the laminator. Four 3” and four 2 ¼” cores are included with the Patriot 62C.

Operating Instructions
Film Loading and Threading
1. Turn the main power switch ON ( l).
2. Remove the Pressure Plate and the Feed Table.
3. If film has already been removed from the laminator then skip to step 7.
4. Carefully cut the film web between both supply rolls and the pressure rollers.
CAUTION: Be careful not to cut or scratch the rollers.
5. Move the Roller Pressure Handle to the “Mount” position and pull the film out the front
of the laminator.
6. Remove the film shafts by lifting the right side of the shaft out of the cradle and then pull
out the left hexagonal side.
7. Loosen the thumbscrew on the left core adapter of the film supply shaft. Do not loosen
the right core adapter thumbscrew—this will make it easier to line up the film edges.
8. Tap the left end (hex) of the shaft on a table.
9. Pull the shaft partially out of the film tube. Then use the end of the film shaft to force the
core adapter out of the film tube.
