SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The Uline Green Machine converts rolls of pre–
perforated and sealed flat tubing into air cushions for
use as void fill packaging.
CAUTION! For safety reasons the cushions are
to be used ONLY as a packaging material and
MUST NOT be used as a flotation aid, a toy or
other unspecified use.
Operators must never use the machine other than as
specified by the instructions set out in this manual.
1. Do not remove any part of machine casing.
2. Under no circumstances should operators expose or
modify the electrical components of the machine.
3. Keep hands away from all moving parts while
operating machine.
4. The machine will automatically shut down in the
event of a film blockage. To restart the machine,
clear the blockage and press reset. Press the start
button to restart.
5. Do not place flammable materials over the heat
sealing section.
6. In the event of an emergency, press the red
emergency stop button. The machine will no
longer be live. To restart the machine, rotate the

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
LOADING THE FILM
1. Place machine on a level, stable surface, leaving
sufficient clearance from the floor to prevent the
cushions backing up into the machine.
2. Slide the roll onto the axle (A). Ensure that the open
end of the film is closest to the machine. (See Figure 1)
3. Take the film and loop it back over the top roller (B).
4. Open the heat seal mechanism by lifting black
handle (C).
5. Thread the open end of the film onto the guide bar
and pull through the open heat seal mechanism
and through the rubber drive wheel mechanism (D).
NOTE: Ensure that the perforation is NOT on the
drive wheel.
6. The film is now ready to run.
SETTING THE MACHINE SETTING PARAMETERS
(ENGINEERING SETTINGS)
1. Factory default settings are normally ideal for
operation. If machine is not sealing, inflating
or counting properly, settings may need to be
changed.
2. In order to change the
default settings, the
following password needs
to be keyed into the display
panel using the arrow keys:
DDUUUDUD (See Figure 2)
3. Using the Select button scroll through the
parameters on the menu that need to be changed.
NOTE: The only parameters that should be
changed are Heat Seal, Blower and Bag Count
settings.
4. Up or down arrows adjust the value of parameters
as required. To change heat seal settings, it is best
to increase or decrease in increments of 10.
5. Once the required parameters have been set, scroll
through the parameters until 'Exit Engineer Mode' is
displayed. Press the 'UP' key.
ADJUSTING THE OPERATOR SETTINGS
Without entering Engineer Mode, the operator can
adjust the following parameters to give the exact
cushion functionality required:
1. Heat seal setting +/- 10
2. Blower speed +/- 10
3. Number of cushions 1 to 10,000
ADJUSTING THE HEAT SEAL AND BLOWER SETTINGS
The operator is able to adjust these settings up 10 units
and down 10 units using the following procedure:
1. Press Select to scroll through the menu options until
you get to the parameter that is to be changed
2. Press the UP/DOWN buttons to change the value
ADJUSTING THE NUMBER OF CUSHIONS
The Uline Green Machine can be run in manual mode
or automatic. In manual, the operator presses the Start
button to begin producing air cushions and the Stop
button to finish the production. The Uline Green Machine
will default to produce 10,000 cushions unless instructed
to do otherwise using the automatic operation mode.
To automatically select the number of cushions required,
press the Select button and scroll through the menu
until you see the Select Number of Bags. Press the UP/
DOWN buttons to adjust to the number you require, up
to 10,000 cushions.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CONTINUED
OPERATING ISSUE RECOMMENDATIONS
Machine does not start Check that the emergency stop button is not depressed
Check if main power is on
Film comes off guide bar (Fig 1: ‘D’)
(Display will show ‘Out of Film’ message)
Check that the roll has been properly loaded onto the axle
Check that the film has been wound around the rollers in the correct manner
Check bags for overinflation
Check film edge is not dragging against machine chassis
Heat seals are not strong enough Check on overinflation
Change the Operator Settings on the Control Panel
If this does not work, a trained operator can change the Engineering Settings
Heat seals are burning through Reduce the heat
Reduce the Blower as overinflation can cause burning through, particularly on the
smaller cushion size
Cushions deflate Usually due to the incorrect amount of heat in the heat seals. This may occur if too
much or too little heat is used
Change settings accordingly
Check on overinflation
Film not sealing Check for damaged belts
Film Jam Remove jam and press the START button to restart production
Check for damaged belts
Film winding around heat seal/rollers Check for damaged belts
Reduce temperature
TROUBLESHOOTING
Recommended: a daily inspection of belts will help prevent the above issues.
