S AFETY I SSUES
The illustrated label shown in Figure 5-1 is
attached to the Knife Guard. The label
warns operators and service personnel of
the very sharp blade. The guard shall only
be removed when the torsion spring or the
guard itself is being replaced.
Should the tape head be operated without
blade guard, user voids all warranty
implied, the manufacturer bears no
responsibility for the consequences.
Tape head shall never be serviced while
mounted in a machine.

UUU Tape Loading
The HSD 2000-ET II LD Tape Heads accommodate 2-inch (48mm) wide tape rolls, while the
HSD 2000-ET II/3" LD Tape Heads accommodate 3-inch (72mm) wide rolls.
1. Place the tape head onto a sturdy, flat surface.
2. Move the peel off roller away from the mandrel.
3. Push the roll of tape onto the mandrel with the adhesive side up (refer to
Threading Diagram under Tape Threading section in this manual) until the core
seats against the mandrel flange. This ensures the tape will be aligned when
feeding into the tape head.
4. Replace the peel roller against the tape roll.

SET-UP PROCEDURES
WARNING! THE KNIFE CONTAINED IN THE TAPE HEAD IS EXTREMELY SHARP.USE CAUTION
WHEN REMOVING THE BLADE GUARD AND THREADING THE TAPE TO AVOID
PERSONNEL INJURY.
Tape Threading Preparation
Figure 7-5
Threading the tape in the Tape Head does not require any special tools.
1. Pull approximately twelve (12) inches of tape from the roll and fold in half
lengthwise, adhesive side to adhesive side. This allows you to thread the tape
without it adhering to the guide and clutch rollers inside the Tape Head.

3. Continue to thread the tape over and around the “knurled” Clutch Roller.
4. Then pass the tape up and over the second “smooth” Guide Roller.
5. Continue threading the tape over and behind the final “knurled” Guide Roller.
6. Thread the tape through the cut-out provided in the Tape Guide Shoe and pull the
tape through the front Application Roller, ensuring that the tape is retained in the
tape guide shoe
7. Cut off the folded tape.
8. Replace the Tape Head to its initial position in the machine.

UUUTape Centering
If the tape is not centered as it travels through the tape shoe guide, the tape mandrel can be
adjusted in or out to correct this
Loosen the M18 inverse jam nut on the
rear of the mandrel as shown in Figure
7-8 with a 10 mm Allen key.
Figure 7-8
Adjust the shaft in or out as required
using a flat screwdriver as illustrated in
Figure 7-9. When the tape is
centered, tighten the jam nut .

SET-UP PROCEDURES
UUUTape Leg Length Adjustment
For optimum performance, the tape leg length has been factory set at 2 inches (50 mm).
However, the tape leg length can be modified.
Front Tape Leg
To adjust the tape leg length on the
leading end of the box, refer to
Figure 7-12 of the clutch assembly.
Facing the rear main frame, loosen
the two (2) Flat Head Cap Screws
using a 3 & 4 mm hexagonal key.
Rotate the clutch assembly to bring
the lowers screw towards the minus
(-) sign stamped on the rear plate for
a shorter tape leg. Conversely, bring
the bottom screw towards the plus
(+) sign for a longer tape leg.
Re-tighten both Flat Head Cap
Screws.
Figure 7-10
Rear Tape Leg
To adjust the tape leg length on the trailing
end of the box, both chrome knife arm
extension brackets must be re-positioned.
Unscrew the three (3) Flat Head Cap
Screws on each knife arm extension using
a 2.5 mm hexagonal key.
For a UUUShorter Tape LegUUU, bring the knife
arm towards the UUUfrontUUU of the tape head.
Conversely, for a UUULonger Tape LegUUU, bring
the knife arm towards the UUUrearUUU of the tape
head.
Replace the three (3) screws on each
knife arm extension and tighten.

SET-UP PROCEDURES
One Way Clutched Roller Adjustment
This one direction, tensionable roller
assures that proper tension is present when
cutting the tape. It is preset at the factory
but should re-adjustment be necessary,
follow these steps:
1. Decrease all mandrel tension
2. Decrease all one way clutched roller
tension
3. Process a case through the
machine. It should not cut tape.
4. Gradually, apply a very small amount
of tension to the one way clutched
roller until a the tape is cleanly cut as
the case processes
5. Too much tension will cause the tape
to wrinkle or snap back
6. Too little tension will not cut the tape.
Figure 7-12
UUUMain Spring Adjustment
The main spring tension is set at the factory.
This setting should be optimal for most
applications. Environments where a
different setting is desirable would be:
1. Void filled cases would need a lighter
wipe down pressure
2. Overfilled cases might require additional
wipe down pressure
3. Double wall corrugated might need
additional wipe down pressure to
overcome the memory of the major flaps.
4. Thinner walled corrugated cases might
require less wipe down pressure
5. Faster line speeds would need additional
spring tension to provide a quicker wipe
down of the rear tape leg.
Should the need arise to increase or
decrease the wipe down pressure, follow
these steps:
1. Remove main spring (Item #1)
2. Loosen the flathead countersink
screw (Item # 2)
3. Relocate to the higher hole to
decrease force or to a lower hole to
increase force.
