INTRODUCTION
THE LITTLE DAVID LDXCRS UNIFORM PRESSURE SENSITIVE TAPER IS DESIGNED TO TAPE TOP AND BOTTOM FLAPS
OF A WIDE VARIETY OF BOX SIZES. AFTER MANUALLY ADJUSTING THE MACHINE FOR THE BOX SIZE, THE OPERATOR
ONLY HAS TO FOLD THE FLAPS AND PUSH THE BOX INTO THE MACHINE AFTER WHICH THE MACHINE WILL TAPE THE TOP
AND BOTTOM FLAPS AND DISCHARGE THE BOX.
THE SIMPLE BUT SOPHISTICATED DESIGN INSURES A MINIMUM OF MAINTENANCE PROBLEMS AND THE MACHINE CAN BE
EASILY OPERATED BY UNSKILLED OPERATORS. DUE TO ITS SMALL SIZE AND SIMPLE PLUG-IN CONNECTION, IT CAN BE
QUICKLY MOVED TO THE AREA WHERE IT IS NEEDED. IT MAY STAND ALONE OR IF DESIRED, BE INCORPORATED IN A
CONVEYOR SYSTEM.
THE FINEST MATERIALS AND WORKMANSHIP HAVE BEEN EMPLOYED TO INSURE SATISFACTION. IF ADJUSTMENTS
OR REPAIRS BECOME NECESSARY YOU WILL FIND SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS OUTLINED IN THIS MANUAL. IF A PROBLEM
OCCURS WHICH IS NOT COVERED IN THE MANUAL, PLEASE TELEPHONE OUR SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT:

THE LITTLE DAVID IS READY FOR OPERATION AFTER PLUGGING IT INTO AN APPROPRIATE GROUNDED ELECTRICAL OUTLET.
THE CONNECTION CABLE IS LOCATED ON THE SIDE OF THE MACHINE.
THE HEIGHT OF THE MACHINE CAN BE ADJUSTED FROM 22.5 INCHES TO 28.5 INCHES (571.5 mm to 723.9 mm) BY ADJUSTING THE
HEIGHT OF THE LEG EXTENSIONS.
THE MACHINE SHOULD BE PLACED ON A FLAT LEVEL FLOOR SO THAT IT DOES NOT ROCK. DUE TO ITS PORTABILITY AND EASY
PLUG-IN CONNECTION, THE MACHINE MAY BE QUICKLY MOVED TO VARIOUS LOCATIONS AS THE NEED ARISES. OPTIONAL
CASTERS ARE AVAILABLE, IF REQUIRED. THERE ARE HOLES PROVIDED IN THE LEG EXTENSION PADS FOR ANCHORING, IF
REQUIRED.
AN OPTIONAL INFEED TABLE CAN BE INSTALLED AT THE INFEED END OF THE MACHINE, HOWEVER, A CONVEYOR MAY BE
USED INSTEAD. THE INFEED TABLE CAN BE USED SO THAT THE PACKER CAN FILL THE BOXES AND CLOSE THE FLAPS PRIOR
TO FEEDING THE BOXES IN THE MACHINE. A CONVEYOR SHOULD BE PROVIDED AT THE OUT FEED END OF THE MACHINE TO
RECEIVE THE BOXES AS THEY ARE DISCHARGED FROM THE MACHINE. IMPORTANT: BE SURE THE TABLE AND CONVEYOR
ARE 1/4” (6 mm) BELOW THE MACHINE BELT HEIGHT.

HEAD
THE HEAD RIDES ALONG THE MAST ON BEARINGS AND HIGH DENSITY POLYETHYLENE PADS. THE HEAD HEIGHT IS ADJUSTED BY
TURNING THE HEAD VIBRATION LOCK KNOB COUNTERCLOCKWISE TO RELEASE THE HEAD. TURNING THE HAND CRANK CLOCKWISE
WILL RAISE THE HEAD TO THE DESIRED POSITION.
BEARINGS:
IF ANY OF THE BEARINGS WHICH RUN AGAINST THE MAST NEED TO BE REPLACED, PROCEED AS FOLLOWS:
- DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL SUPPLY. PLACE A STURDY BOX/BLOCK ON BED OF MACHINE AND LOWER
HEAD ONTO IT.
- REMOVE THE HARDWARE AND SNAP RINGS FROM THE SIDES OF THE HEAD TO REMOVE TROLLEY BEARINGS.
- BACK OFF NUTS BETWEEN BEARINGS WHILE TURNING THREADED SHAFT WITH A SCREW DRIVER UNTIL
DEFECTIVE BEARING CAN BE REMOVED.
- REVERSE ABOVE PROCEDURE TO REPLACE BEARING.
WHENEVER THE BEARINGS HAVE BEEN CHANGED, THE CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE HEAD AND THE MAST MUST BE RE-ALIGNED.
THE CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE TEFLON SLIDES AND THE SIDES OF THE MAST SHOULD BE ADJUSTED TO APPROXIMATELY
.020” (.5 mm). THIS SHOULD BE CHECKED THROUGH THE HEADS RANGE OF TRAVEL TO INSURE THAT THIS CLEARANCE EXISTS
AT THE HIGH POINTS OF THE MAST.
THE CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE BEARINGS AND THE FRONT AND REAR SURFACES OF THE MAST SHOULD BE SUCH THAT THE
HEAD MOVES FREELY AND DOES NOT COCK OR SAG.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CONSISTS OF A FRACTIONAL HP DRIVE MOTOR AND THE STARTER SWITCH.
THE MOTOR AND FRAME ARE GROUNDED THROUGH THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR.
THE CIRCUIT BREAKER IS FACTORY SET. IF IT TRIPS, IT SHOULD BE RESET AFTER INSPECTION OF THE
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.
WARNING: THE INSPECTION OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHOULD BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED
ELECTRICIAN ONLY!

TROUBLE SHOOTING
TAPING DIFFICULTIES:
1. TAPE DOES NOT ADHERE WELL TO BOX:
1. CHECK THAT BOX IS NOT WAXY OR OILY.
2. CHECK THAT BOX IS PROPERLY CUT AND SCORED SO THAT THE FLAPS DO NOT OVERLAP.
IF THE TAPE ADHERES TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM BUT NOT TO THE END PANELS, THE BOX MAY
BE SKEWED FORMING A PARALLELOGRAM. IF THIS CONDITION EXISTS, BRING IT TO THE ATTENTION
OF YOUR BOX SUPPLIER.
3. CHECK THE PRESSURE ON THE WIPE DOWN ROLLERS. IF NECESSARY, INCREASE THE MAIN SPRING
PRESSURE.
4. CHECK THAT THE SPRING IS NOT BROKEN.
2. TAPE END STICKS TO ITSELF OR MECHANISM:
1. CHECK THAT THERE IS NOT TOO MUCH DRAG ON THE TAPE CAUSING STRETCHING AND SNAP BACK
AT CUT OFF. REDUCE THE TAPE CORE DRAG SETTING.
2. CHECK THE TAPE THREADING PATH.
3. CHECK FOR DEFECTIVE TAPE ROLL BY PULLINGTAPE OFF MANUALLY. THE PULL SHOULD BE EVEN
AND NOT VARY SUDDENLY.
4. CHECK TAPE GUIDE PLATE SETTING AND FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT.
5. CHECK ROLLER FOR BINDING.
3. TAPE BREAKS OR JAMS:
1. CHECK THE TAPE ROLL BY PULLING TAPE OFF MANUALLY. THE PULL SHOULD BE EVEN AND
SHOULD NOT VARY SUDDENLY.
2. CHECK THE TAPE CORE DRAG SETTING.
3 CHECK THE TAPE THREADING PATH.
4. CHECK FOR NICKS IN EDGE OF TAPE ROLL. PULL OFF DAMAGED TAPE.
5. TAPE TENSION SET TOO HIGH.
4. TAPE WRINKLES:
1. CHECK THE TAPE ROLL BY PULLING TAPE OFF MANUALLY. THE PULL SHOULD BE EVEN AND
SHOULD NOT VARY SUDDENLY.
2. CHECK THE PRESSURE OF THE WIPE DOWN ROLLERS. TOO MUCH OR NO PRESSURE MAY CAUSE
WRINKLES. PRESSURE THAT IS TOO GREAT MAY DEPRESS THE FLAPS CAUSING PROBLEMS. IF
NECESSARY, RE-ADJUST THE PRESSURE.
3. CHECK THAT ALL THE ROLLERS TURN FREELY ON THEIR SHAFTS.
4. CHECK THE BOX CONTENTS. PARTIALLY FULL BOXES OR VERY COMPRESSIBLE CONTENTS MAY
ALLOW THE FLAPS TO DEPRESS EXCESSIVELY CAUSING WRINKLES.
5. CHECK THE DRAG OF THE TAPE. TOO MUCH DRAG MAY CAUSE OVERRUNNINGOF THE TAPE ROLL.
ADJUST THE TAPE CORE DRAG SETTING.
6. TAPE TENSION SET TOO HIGH.
7. CHECK ROLLER STOP INSIDE CARTRIDGE.
8. CHECK THAT THE TAPE IS PROPERLY THREADED AND THAT TAPE CORE IS PROPERLY CENTERED.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
9. CHECK THE PRESSURE OF THE HEAD AGAINST THE BELTS AND HESITATE AS IT IS BEING FED
THROUGH THE MACHINE. ADJUST THE HEAD HEIGHT.
10. CHECK THAT THE BELTS ARE NOT SLIPPING.
11. CHECK ADJUSTMENT OF THEGUIDE PLATE AND FINGER PLATE.
5. SHORT TAPE TAB ON BOX:
1. CHECK TAPE TENSION.
2. CHECK ROLLERS FOR BINDING.
6. TAPE NOT BEING WIPED ON BOTTOM OF BOX:
THERE ARE LARGE ECCENTRIC STOPS THAT ARE FACTORY SET TO INSURE THAT FRONT ROLLER ARM
CANNOT BE DEPRESSED BELOW BOX HEIGHT. THEY ARE LOCATED INSIDE CARTRIDGE ON BOTH SIDES.
WHEN FULLY DEPRESSED, FRONT WIPE ROLLER SHOULD PROTRUDE 3/32” ABOVE CARTRIDGE FRAME.
IF THIS NEEDS ADJUSTING, ROTATE THE ECCENTRIC STOPS. USE BOTH STOPS AND MAKE SURE ROLLER
ARM CONTACTS FLAT SURFACES. WHEN PROCESSING BOXES LESS THAN 5” HIGH, THE ECCENTRIC STOPS
MUST BE MOVED TO THE OPPOSITE HOLE IN THE CARTRIDGE FRAME. THE FRONT ROLLER SHOULD THEN
PROTRUDE TO BELT LEVEL.
7. TAPE NOT CUTTING:
1. CHECK KNIFE ARM FOR MECHANICAL BINDING.
2. CHECK THAT KNIFE IS NOT DULL.
3. CHECK SPRINGS ON KNIFE STUDS.
4. CHECK BUSHINGS IN KNIFE STUDS.
5. IF KNIFE STOP BLOCK IS CAUSING FRICTION ON KNIFE STUDS, ROTATE UNTIL FREE.
6. TAPE TENSION IS SET TOO LOW.
8. TAPE NOT CENTERED ON BOX:

TAPE CARTRIDGE
TAPE TENSION ROLLER:
THE TAPE TENSION ROLLER MAINTAINS CONSTANT TENSIONTHROUGHOUT THE LIFE OF THE TAPE ROLL. IT HAS A
ONE-WAY CLUTCH TO PREVENT PULL BACKON TAPE. TURNING THE NYLOK NUT CLOCKWISE INCREASES THE TENSION.
COUNTERCLOCKWISE DECREASES TENSION. TOO MUCH TENSION WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS.
WIPE DOWN ROLLERS:
THE RUBBER WIPE DOWN ROLLERS WIPE THE TAPE ONTO THE BOX AS IT PASSES THROUGH THE MACHINE. THE FRONT
ROLLER HAS A ONE-WAY CLUTCH TO PREVENT KICKBACK OFTAPE. THE PRESSURE EXERTED BY THE ROLLERS IS
ADJUSTABLE BY CHANGING THE POSITION OF THE MAIN SPRING TO A DIFFERENT HOLE ON THE MAIN TIE BAR. THE
PRESSURE SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT TO OBTAIN A GOOD WIPE. TOO MUCH PRESSURE CAN CAUSE PREMATURE WEAR.
PRESSURE SHOULD BE REDUCED WITH UNDER FILL OR COMPRESSIBLE CONTENTS.
TAPE GUIDE PLATE:
THE TAPE IS GUIDED TO THE FRONT ROLLER BY THE GUIDE PLATE. THE FLAT PORTION OF THIS PLATE MUST BE TANGENT
TO THE RUBBER ROLLER FOR PROPER FUNCTION. THIS IS ADJUSTABLE BY ROTATING THE ECCENTRIC STOP IT BEARS
AGAINST. THE TAPE GUIDE PLATE IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE FINGER PLATE FORMS THE TAPE WHICH ALLOWS IT TO
STAND UP. THE TAPE GUIDE PLATE MOVES AS THE BOX PASSES, TO FORM A CORNER. THIS ENSURES SMOOTH TIGHT
TAPE APPLICABLE TO THE LEADING CORNER OF THE BOX.
FINGER PLATE:
THE FINGER PLATE PRESSES AGAINST THE ADHESIVE SIDE OF THE TAPE AND FORCES THE TAPE TO TAKE THE SHAPE OF
THE TAPE GUIDE PLATE. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE FINGERS JUST MAKE CONTACT WITH THE TAPE GUIDE PLATE, WHEN
THERE IS NO TAPE IN CARTRIDGE. IF AN ADJUSTMENT IS NECESSARY GENTLY BEND THE FINGERS NEAR THE TIPS. ONLY
BEND A SMALL AMOUNT, THEN CHECK. FINGERS MUST CONTACT PLATE. WHEN THE GUIDE PLATE IS MOVED THE FINGERS
SHOULD NOT FOLLOW. NOTE: FINGERS SHOULD BE ABLE TO MOVE 1/8” AWAY FROM PLATE.
KNIFE ARM:
THE KNIFE ARM IS MOUNTED AT AN ANGLE TO CUT THE TAPE LIKE A SCISSORS. A STUD LOCATED ON THE MOUNTING
BLOCK TO PREVENT INCORRECT REPLACEMENT OF KNIFE. THE KNIFE SHOULD BE CLEANED PERIODICALLY USING A RAG
AND CLEANING FLUID. DO NOT USE A WIRE BRUSH OR OTHER ABRASIVE DEVICE. THE KNIFE ARM SHOULD BE ADJUSTED
SO THAT THE TIPS OF THE KNIFE ARM ARE 2 1/2” FROMTHE CARTRIDGE FRAME. THIS CAN BE ADJUSTED BY LOOSENING
THE SMALL NUT ON THE KNIFE ARM STUD AND ROTATING THE STUD UNTIL THE LARGE NUT CONTACTS THE BUMPER AT
THE DESIRED SETTING. KNIFE ARM TENSION IS CONTROLLED BY THE COMPRESSION SPRING ON THE STUD. TIGHTEN
THE NYLOK NUT FOR GREATER TENSION. ALWAYS POWER DOWN MACHINE FIRST.
