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:

INSTALLATION
FOR DOMESTIC CUSTOMERS ONLY - THE LITTLE DAVID IS SHIPPED COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED.
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.

OPERATION
AFTER THE TAPE CARTRIDGES ARE LOADED, THE MACHINE IS READY TO SEAL BOXES. PLACE A SAMPLE BOX OF THE SIZE
TO BE SEALED ON THE INFEED TABLE, FOLD THE FLAPS AND PUT JUST IN FRONT OF THE TOP TAPE CARTRIDGE. RELEASE
THE SIDE RAILS BY TURNING THE SIDE RAIL LOCK HAND WHEEL COUNTERCLOCKWISE AND MOVE THE SIDE RAILS IN UNTIL
BOTH RAILS ARE IN CONTACT WITH THE BOX. LOCK THE SIDE RAILS BY TURNING THE HAND WHEEL CLOCKWISE. RELEASE
THE HEAD LOCK HAND WHEEL COUNTERCLOCKWISE. LOWER THE HEAD UNTIL IT MAKES CONTACT WITH THE BOX; THEN
PUT A SLIGHT ADDITIONAL PRESSURE ONTHE BOX. LOCK THE HEAD BY TURNING THE HEAD LOCKHAND WHEEL
CLOCKWISE.
START THE MACHINE WITH THE START SWITCH LOCATEDON THE OPERATOR SIDE OF THE MACHINE. NOW THE SAMPLE
BOX WILL BE TAPED AND DISCHARGED. THE MACHINE IS NOW READY TO PROCESS BOXES.
THE PACKER SHOULD FOLD THE BOX FLAPS IN THE NORMAL MANNER AND WHILE HOLDING THEM CLOSED ON THE REAR
OF THE BOX, SHOULD FEED THE BOX INTO THE MACHINE UNTIL THE BELTS TAKE IT FROM HIM. THE MACHINE WILL SEAL
THE TOP AND BOTTOM FLAPS AND DISCHARGE THE BOX TO THE OUT FEED CONVEYOR AUTOMATICALLY.

MAIN FRAME
STARTER SWITCH:
THE STARTER SWITCH IS MOUNTED ON THE OPERATOR SIDE OF THE MACHINE. IT INCORPORATES A CIRCUIT BREAKER
THAT IS SET TO TRIP AT THE PROPER RATING OF THE MOTOR. TO REPLACE THIS SWITCH, FIRST DISCONNECT THE
MACHINE FROM THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY. REMOVE THE SWITCH BY LOOSENING SCREWS HOLDING THE ENCLOSURE
CLOSED. REMOVE ENCLOSURE TO EXPOSE MOTOR STARTER. REMOVE THE WIRES, FIRST NOTING THEIR CONNECTIONS
TO THE SWITCH. SLIDE SWITCH SIDEWAYS AND UP TO REMOVE.
TO REPLACE THE STARTER SWITCH, REVERSE THE ABOVE PROCEDURE.
SIDE RAILS:
THE SIDE RAILS CENTER AND ALIGN THE BOX AS IT IS BEING PROCESSED. THEY ARE SET MANUALLY BY LOOSENING
THE SIDE RAIL LOCK HAND KNOB COUNTERCLOCKWISE. MOVE THE SIDE RAILS IN UNTIL BOTH SIDE RAILS COME IN
CONTACT WITH THE BOX. RELOCK THE SIDE RAILS BY TURNING THE SIDE RAIL LOCK HAND KNOB CLOCKWISE.
BELTS:
TWO ENDLESS BELTS LOCATED ON THE BED OF THE MACHINE DRIVE THE BOX THROUGHTHE MACHINE. THE BELTS
RUN OVER A DRIVE ROLLER LOCATED AT THE EXIT END OF THE MACHINE, AND ARE POSITIONED OVERTHE INFEED
ROLLERS LOCATED AT THE INFEED END.
TO REPLACE BELT, PULL OUT BELT TENSION HANDLE TO REMOVE TENSION. SLIDE BELT OFF OF FRONT ROLLER AND
THEN OFF REAR DRIVE ROLLER TO REMOVE. TO INCREASE/DECREASE TENSION WHEN HANDLE IS IN OUT POSITION
ROTATE TENSION KNOB TO CHANGE TENSION. REPLACE BELT MAKING SURE IT IS POSITIONED IN BELT GUIDE TRACK.
CLOSE HANDLE MAKING SURE NOT TO OVER TENSION BELTS.
EACH BELT IS REPLACED SEPARATELY, HOWEVER, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT BOTH BELTS BE REPLACED AT THE SAME
TIME. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT FACTORY SUPPLIED BELTS BE USED SINCE THEY ARE OF SPECIAL CONSTRUCTION.

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!

LUBRICATION
ALL MECHANICAL PARTS ON THE LITTLE DAVID ARE PERMANENTLY LUBRICATED AND SEALED BEARINGS ARE
USED THROUGHOUT.
THE REDUCER IS A SEALED UNIT.
THE MAST SHOULD BE CLEANED AND SPRAYED WITH A SILICONE LUBRICANT - THIS SHOULD BE DONE ON A
WEEKLY BASIS TO ENSURE FREE MOVEMENT OF THE HEAD.
