Be sure the following safety instructions are read, understood, and
become a part of daily practice when operating or maintaining the
closing head.
1. Do not attempt to operate the bag tensioner until you understand its function.
Study the manual carefully.
2. Keep all foreign material away from the drive system.
3. Keep fingers away from the feed belts, the drive system, and the brushes.
4. Disconnect the power cord before making any adjustments on the tensioner or
performing scheduled maintenance. All moving parts must be completely

FLOW DIAGRAM
To determine th correct flow direction, vizualize your package moving away from you and towards the Kwik Lok
Closing Machine. If the open end of the bag is on your right hand side - the flow direction is RIGHT
If the open end of the bag is on your left hand side - the flow direction is LEFT.

Installation
A. INSTALL BAG TENSIONER MOUNT:
Figure 2.1
The closing head and the bag tensioner must be mount-
ed correctly in order to maximize closing efficiency.
Refer to figure 2.1 for locating and drilling the required
mounting holes.
When mounting a bag tensioner on another manufactur-
er’s conveyor, refer to figure 2.1 for proper mounting
locations. A bag tensioner mount and mounting hard-
ware is provided when mounting on another manufactur-
er’s conveyor.

Installation
B. MOUNTING THE BAG TENSIONER:
Figure 2.2 and 2.3
1. After attaching the tensioner mount, set the
bag tensioner in the mount as shown (Figure
2.1). The two mounting shafts slide into the
mounting slots.
2. Set the tensioner foward in the mounting slots
for most closing applications (toward conveyor
side). Position the tensioner at the back of the
slots for milk closing applications only.
3. Add the washer and nut to the end of the
mounting shaft. Tighten the mounting nut ”finger
tight” only at this time.
4. With the tensioner properly located in the
mounting slots, tighten the two No. 10 socket
head screws to secure the tensioner
adjustment washer to the bottom of the
tensioner mount. This allows the bag
tensioner to be removed from the mount and
then remounted in the same operating location.
5. Check to see that the point at which the brushes
mesh together corresponds to the horizontal
center line of the package to be closed. Adjust
the height of the bag tensioner by first loosen-
ing the mounting nut and then turning the mount
adjust gears (Figure 2.3) in the desired direc-
tion to raise or lower the tensioner. After the
proper tensioner height is achieved, tighten the
mounting nut to the tensioner mounting shaft.
6. Adjust the upper fence rod until its outside edge
lines up vertically with the side of the conveyor
frame (Figure 2.3).

SECTION III
Maintenance
Although the 1082J8S Bag Tensioner is virtually mainte-
nance free, the following preventative maintenance
schedule will increase life and dependability.
A. MONTHLY MAINTENANCE:
1. Inspect areas around the brush drive chains and
sprockets for bag material lodged between
parts. Remove any material from between the
sprockets and brushes or the ends of the brush
assemblies and the brush mounting plates.
Remove the gear cover to gain access to the
rear guide sprockets.
2. Keep the two drive chains properly tensioned.
Loosen the socket head screws at the discharge
end of the brush shaft. Place fingers on the
brush assembly as detailed in figure 3.1. Apply
enough pressure to take up slack in the
drive chain. Tighten the mounting screw.
Check the location of the of the screw in the slot
and compare it to the other mounting screw in
the other side of the brush shaft. Adjust if
needed to keep the brushes aligned.
B. YEARLY MAINTENANCE:
1. Check the drive gears and chain sprockets for
wear. The gears and sprockets need no
lubrication.
2. Inspect the bearings for damaged seals and
wear. Replace if either is present.
3. Replace the drive chain yearly, or when it has
lengthened enough to require 1/4" of additional
takeup. Follow the chain replacement
procedures listed below.

Maintenance
C. CHAIN REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE:
Figure 3.2
The drive chains, are preassembled at the chain
factory, and have no Master Links. The chain is
also lubricated at the factory. (stainless steel drive
chain excluded). The chains can be replaced with
out breaking the chain apart.
1. Disconnect power to the bag tensioner.
2. Remove the main gear cover.
3. Remove the two 10-32 socket head screws
connecting the shaft cap to the ends of the
brush shaft. Remove the two 10-24 socket
head screws at the rear of the brush mounting
plate and remove the plate from the tensioner.
4. Remove the three 10-24 hex head screws,
which fasten the chain guard cover to the
chain guard mounting block. Remove the
cover from the tensioner.
5. Turn the brush assembly by hand and work the
chain off the drive gear at the rear of the
tensioner.
6. Remove the chain from the tensioner.
7. Install the new chain around the brush
assembly sprocket. Work the chain through the
gasket and then around the second sprocket.
8. Replace the chain guide cover, the brush
mounting plate and the main gear cover.
9. Refer to part A. number 2 to adjust the tension
of the new chain before operating the tensioner
under power.
D. MOTOR RESET:
Thermal overload protection is built into the bag ten-
sioner motor. Should the thermal overload trip, reset the
motor as follows:
1. Allow the motor to cool. Remove power from
the bag tensioner to reset the thermal overload.
Apply power to the bag tensioner to restart the
motor.

Adjustments
A. ADJUST BRUSH TRACKING.
Figure 4.1 and 4.2
The bagneck should be as flat and wrinkle free as
possible as it enters the closer. The two brush assem-
blies should be parallel where they contact to optimize
the tensioners ability to prepare the bagneck for entry
into the closer. (Figure 4.1) The brush mount plates
mount with two 10-24 x 1/2" socket head cap screws.
These screws are used to align the brushes as follows.
1. Loosen the two plate mounting screws on the
side of the brush assembly to be aligned.
2. Hold the brush mount plate in your hand.
3. Apply pressure to the back of the plate (opposite
the curved end) in a forward direction toward the
brush assembly (Figure 4.2).
4. Raise or lower until the brush mount plate is
pressed firmly against both mounting screws.
(The mounting holes are oversized allowing for
this adjustment) Tighten the mounting screws.
5. From the front of the tensioner check the gap
between the two brush assemblies and verify
that they are now parallel (this does not apply
to the tapered portion of brush assembly).
6. If needed, repeat the adjustment.
CAUTION: DISCONNECT POWER TO THE
BAG TENSIONER BEFORE CONDUCTIONG
ADJUSTMENTS.

Adjustments
B. ADJUST THE BRUSH DRIVE CHAIN(S)
Figure 4.
1. Loosen the 10-32 socket head screws on
either end of the shaft cap.
2. Loosen the socket head screws at the discharge
end of the brush shaft.
3. Place fingers on the brush assembly as detailed
in figure 3.1.
4. Apply enough pressure to take up slack in the
drive chain.
5. Tighten the mounting screw.
6. Check the location of the of the screw in the slot
and compare it to the other mounting screw in
the other side of the brush shaft. Adjust if
needed to keep the brushes aligned.
