INSTALLATION
Machine installation is accomplished in two steps: Positioning of the Machine in Work
Area and Connection of Air and Power. Follow these steps and the machine will be
ready for loading of your product, adjustment and operation.
MACHINE POSITIONING
The machine should be placed so that it can be accessed easily from all four sides. The
top of the machine has a supply hopper for loading of the product; therefore do not
block the top of the machine. The height of the machine, which can be adjusted with
threaded leveling feet, is usually determined by the method by which the bags are filled.
Manual filling will require the machine to be set at a comfortable height for the operator.
Automatic filling processes because of the way they operate usually require the
machine to be set at a pre-engineered height, based on conveyors and other pieces of
equipment.

Page 9
ADJUSTING HEIGHT
Height adjustment of the machine is accomplished by loosening (but not removing) the
four leveling feet on either side of the main machine chassis. Move the machine to the
desired height and tighten the lock nuts. Make sure it is level before tightening the bolts
all the way.
THE MACHINE IS TOP HEAVY! DO NOT LOOSEN THE LEVELING FEET UNTIL
PROVISIONS HAVE BEEN MADE TO SUPPORT THE MACHINE WHEN IT IS OFF
OF THE GROUND. MAKE SURE A 1” MINIMUM OF THREAD IS LEFT IN THE
THREADED FRAME POST.
CONNECTION OF AIR AND POWER
Most IQ 1E(s) machines come with an Air Compressor mounted to the frame. If not, the
main air filter regulator assembly is attached to the right rear corner of the machine and
has a
¼”
NPT port for the plumbing of the air supply. Connection can be made with
either a quick connect nipple or hard plumbed with a hose fitting.
THE AIR SUPPLY TO THE MACHINE IS FITTED WITH A SUPPLY CUTOFF
DEVICE. IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY SITUATION THIS DEVICE WILL BE
NECESSARY TO DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE MAIN AIR SUPPLY.
The machine comes equipped with a standard 3-prong male 120-volt line cord. Uncoil
the cord and straighten it out. On the front left corner of the machine, locate the
EMERGENCY STOP switch. Make sure the switch is depressed, which is the off
position. Plug the cord into an acceptable outlet as outlined in set up section on power
requirements.
If a footswitch is supplied, the assembly may be equipped with a 4-pin cable.
Locate the receptacle, align the pins and push the plug into the receptacle.
