MACHINE UNLOADING
INSPECTION & INSTALLATION
UNLOADING
Machine can be easily unloaded and transported by a forklift with a minimum capacity of
2500 lbs.
1. Carefully insert the forks into the lifting tubes to the maximum possible depth. Depending
on the model, a forklift access may be either at the turntable end of the machine frame, the
tower end or both. In case of the mongoose machine enter the forks under the frame or
insert the forks in the tube brackets welded to the top of the machine.
2. Lift the machine (or other part of system) only to the necessary height to move it with no
bouncing or friction on the floor.
3. Sit the machine down assuring uniform contact with the floor, which is necessary to
ensure correct and smooth operation.
INSPECTION
1. Remove all packing and supporting additions -these may include the blocks under the
carriage and the restraining bar over the table.
NOTE: when removing the stretchwrap film covering the machine, care must be taken not
to cut any of the electrical wires and/ or polyurethane covering on the film carriage rollers.
2. Perform a visual inspection of the electrical and mechanical parts for loosened joints and /
or broken connections. Any suspected shipping damage must be reported immediately to
the freight carrier. Any transport damage cannot be claimed to Orion Packaging Inc.
Items that are vulnerable to damage and must be inspected are as follows:
-Motors and transmissions
-Junction boxes
-Electrical conduits
-Proximity and limit switches
-Photocells
3. Check under the turntable to ensure that there is no crippling of the movable parts i.e.
casters, center axle or drive assembly.
4.Verify the following:
-Turntable or rotary arm drive system to confirm that the reducer to drive the chain is snug
and properly aligned.
-Verify the wires tight conduits for crushed sections or loose fittings.
-Verify the film carriage to be sure that it is correctly aligned with the tower
-Verify the tension on the lift chain.
-Verify all the dials and knobs on the control panel for smooth action.

MACHINE OPERATION
Before Starting Machine Operation
Verify that the machine is properly connected to the electrical source. The electrical
requirements depend on the machine type and features. For this information, please see the
machine electrical diagram provided with the machine operation manual. The control panel
layout for the machine is shown on the drawing.
CAUTION: Before preceding the machine operation familiarize yourself with the
EMERGENCY-STOP button and all functions, switches and pushbuttons.
POWER SWITCH
Located on the panel door or side of the panel box, the lockable power switch has two
settings:
ON - connects a power source to the machine
OFF - disconnects the power source.
START AND EMERGENCY STOP SWITCHES
The START switch is used to start the cycle once the load is on the turntable. The cycle
may be stopped on by pressing the STOP button (may also be used for the choosing the
range of counts of the top and bottom wraps - see TOP WRAPS and BOTTOM WRAPS).
NOTICE: In case of emergency, the push-pull STOP button interrupts the entire machine
electrical circuits. To continue the cycle the STOP push button should be pulled out and
START button pressed for the machine restarting. Double pressing of the push – pull STOP
button will reset the machine program and machine will be ready to apply the wrapping
cycle from its beginning.
WRAP PATTERN SELECTOR SWITCH “SPIRAL” UP / UP/DOWN
The Pattern Selector Switch “ SPIRAL” positions:
UP - When the UP position has been selected machine will first wrap bottom of load
applying selected number of bottom wraps. The film carriage will then move to the top of
load and stop. Selected number of top wraps will then be applied, after which the turntable
will slow down and stop in home position. Wrap pattern “SPIRAL UP ONLY” has been
completed.
UP/DOWN - This Selection has two Sub-Modes, programmable to enable the machine to
perform the two different wrap patterns (Bottom Wraps First and Top Wraps First).
BOTTOM WRAPS FIRST - When this Sub-Mode has been selected machine will first wrap
bottom of load applying selected number of bottom wraps. The film carriage will then move
to top of load and stop. Selected number of top wraps will then be applied. The film carriage
will move down to bottom position, after which the turntable will slow down and stop in home
position.
