labels and the following safety precautions before using the Tape Head.
Read this manual for other important safety operating and service information.
Only trained personnel are to operate and service Tape Head.
Wear safety glasses.
Shut off power to machine before adjusting.
Unplug electrical power before servicing.
All covers and guards must be in place before operating.
Stay clear of moving parts which can shear and cut.
Never operate the Tape Heads with the Knife Guard removed.
Turn electrical supply off before servicing the Tape Heads, including tape loading
and threading.
Note: Should any of the safety labels placed on the Tape Head be
damaged or destroyed, replacements are available.

SAFETY ISSUES
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 are 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.
Figure 5-1
Label on Figure 5-2 is visible on carton
sealing machine.

Installation of the ET 2Plus in Other Machinery
This tape head can be used to upgrade case sealers provided by other manufacturers. It
can be mounted in the upper or lower positions. It can also be mounted horizontally. Please
contact the factory for the proper mounting adapters, any possible mirror image footprint
requirements and any limitations when upgrading competitor machinery.
1) The case must be positively propelled through the case sealer taking into
account any void fills, overfills, stability factors or weight factors.
2) Verify the case sizes which will be processed through the case sealer. Installing
Interpack ET 2Plus tape heads to process very short cases may cause the tape
heads to collide with each other.
3) If a flight bar or lug drive system propels the case, ensure that these devices
provide proper clearance and do not contact any portion of the tape head
4) Verify that the proper adapter kits have been ordered and supplied with the tape
head.

The ET 2Plus 2” Tape Heads accommodate 2-inch (48mm) wide tape rolls, while the ET 2Plus
3" 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 sits against the
mandrel flange. This ensures that the tape will be aligned when feeding into the tape
head.

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.

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
an 2.5 mm hexagonal key.
For a UUUShorter Tape LegUUU, bring the knife
arms towards the UUUfrontUUU of the tape head.
Conversely, for a UUULonger Tape LegUUU, bring
the knife arms towards the UUUrearUUU of the tape
head. Both Knife Arm Extensions have to
