1.3 Outline and Application Field
This machine features a PLC controller. The electric subassembly uses world famous products such as OMRON,
LG and TE components. This provides a reasonable, high reliability and convenient use for the machine. It can
advance production efficiency and prevent goods from being damaged during transportation. This machine
has a wide range of applications and is used in the following industries: chemical, fiber, tobacco,
pharmaceutical, publishing, refrigeration, etc.
1.4 Position of Operation
The operator must stand in front of the operating screen, away from the turntable and carriage. The operator
must insure that no other individual or devices such as the forklift are at risk during operation. (See Fig. 1-1)
Fig. 1-1
1.5 Safety Precautions Prior to Operating Machine
This machine uses 110V, 60Hz, single phase power.
Do not plug into an extension cord.
Do not step on the machine when it is running
Do not install this machine on soft ground.
Install on a level surface.
Do not put the object to be wrapped on the edge of the turntable.
Turn off the power after done using the machine.
In an emergency, press the emergency stop button. This will cease movement of the machine.
Clean the machine once a day.
Only a Qualified Technician should change or test the wiring and/or electrical components.
DO NOT push, drag, or slide machine! Doing so will cause severe damage!

2.2 Transportation
You must have at least 4ft fork tubes or tube extensions fully inserted into the machine and a forklift rated for
3,000lbs to transport the machine safely. Do not raise the load more than 6” off of the ground. (See Fig. 2-2)
ALWAYS USE OSHA HANDLING PROCEDURES FOR HANDLING THE STRETCH
WRAPPER AND REMEMBER TO NEVER PUSH, DRAG, OR SLIDE THE MACHINE!
Do not transport machine from turntable when mast is
lowered!
When transporting the machine in this configuration;
1. Inspection cover must be removed before raising or
lowering the mast.
2. Carriage must be raised 8 inches
Carriage must be raised 6~8 inches before attempting to lift
machine from this end.
It is acceptable to transport machine by turntable when mast
has been raised.

2.3 Installation
Step 1 - Place the machine in the desired location using a tow motor or crane capable of handling a load of
3,000lbs. (See Fig. 2-3)
Fig. 2-3
Step 2 - Remove the lower rear inspection panel on the mast prior to raising the mast. The panel is located on
the end of the machine next to the turntable motor. The panel has a warning label affixed to it. (See Fig. 2-4a &
Fig. 2-4b)
Fig. 2-4a
Fig. 2-4b
Step 3 - Lift the mast using hoisting tools. A tow motor or hoist rated for at least 3,000lbs is required. While
lifting the mast, use caution to ensure that wires and connectors are not pinched. (See Fig. 2-5a)
Once the machine is fully upright, one individual can stabilize the mast while a second individual fastens the
four M10 bolts to secure the mast to the base. The M10 bolts are to be tightened to 30ft/lbs of torque. (See Fig.
2-5b)

2.3 Installation
Step 4 - If installing a ramp, place the ramp by locating the ramp shoulder bolt and placing it
into the slot in the ramp. It is highly recommended to anchor the ramp to the floor. (See Fig. 2-6)
Step 5 - Affix the carriage onto the corresponding position on the mast and fasten with four
M8 bolts. (See Fig. 2-7) Insert the connector plugs on the front of the carriage into the receptacles. (See Fig. 2-8)
Do not force the connectors together.
Note: The Eagle 2000A will only have one receptacle for the load-height sensor.

Fig. 2-9c
Note: These connectors are for photo-electric eye, home limit switch, and E-Stop switch located on the
bottom of the carriage.
Step 7 - Fasten the lower rear panel into the corresponding position on the post using the pin. (See Fig. 2-10)
Fig. 2-10
Step 8 - Verify that all screws are tight and then turn on the power. Check to see if the power indicator is on
and that text is displayed on the LCD screen.

2.4 Operational Environment
Machine should be far from smoke, preferably in a dry, well-ventilated area.
Normal environment temperature should be within 32ºF and 104ºF.
No special requirements for electromagnetic radiation.
Machine should not be placed under direct lighting as it may cause photoelectric eye to malfunction.
DO NOT push, drag, or slide machine! Doing so will cause severe damage!
Note: If product to be wrapped is a dark color (black, dark blue, etc...), the standard photoelectric eye
may not work properly. A photo-eye upgrade option is available for sensing dark objects.

The turntable speed and load force knobs can be adjusted to achieve desired film tension.
The speed and load force work in conjunction. If the table speed is increased, the load force will need
to be decreased to maintain the same film tension. If the table speed is decreased, the load force will
need to be increased to maintain the same film tension.
