Unpacking
Machine can be easily unloaded and transported by a forklift with a minimum capacity of
2500 lbs. If your machine has the tower laying down, you will need to follow this procedure to
upright the tower prior to use:

tower to the base using the four provided 10mm bolts. Make sure not to pinch any electrical
connectors.

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 gearboxes
• Junction boxes
• Electrical conduits
• Proximity and limit switches
• Photocells
3. Check around the tower to ensure that there is no crippling of the movable parts i.e. casters,
center axle or drive assembly.
4. Verify the following:
• Check wires and conduits for crushed sections or loose fittings.
• Verify the film carriage to be sure that it is correctly aligned with the tower
• Inspect the HMI screen for damage and ensure all push buttons are intact.
• Use the panel access keys to open the panel or motor access doors.

from vertical must not exceed 1/4" on the distance of 10 feet (angle: 0 degrees 6').
1. Move the wrapper into its final position.
2. Any wiring that has been disconnected to facilitate transport is marked with a number located on
the junction box to which the wiring must be reconnected. Any wire run that appears too short or long
may indicate that the position of the mechanical components is incorrect. Verify the status of all
assemblies before proceeding.

Wrap Recipes
Press the Menu, then Recipes.
The Wrap Settings parameters set on the previous page are saved to the highlighted “Running
Recipe.” You may set ten Wrap Recipes and name each.
For example, if you are running a fragile light product and a heavy sturdy product, you would want to
set up a recipe for each type of load. The light fragile load would have Wrap Top First and Unstable
Load Selected, for instance. When you change to the sturdy load, you would want to quickly select the
sturdy load on the recipe screen instead of changing the wrap parameter each time.
Whichever Recipe you have selected on this screen is the recipe you are adjusting on the Wrap
Settings, Main Drive, Reinforce, and Timer Screens.
