Maintenance

WARNING

•To reduce the risk associated with shear, pinch, and entanglement hazards:

−Turn air and electrical supplies off on associated equipment before performing any adjustments, maintenance, or servicing the taping heads

−Never attempt to work on the taping head or load tape while the box drive system is running

•To reduce the risk associated with sharp blade hazards:

−Keep hands and fingers away from tape cutoff blades under orange blade guards. The blades are extremely sharp

The AccuGlide™ 2+ Stainless Steel Taping Head has been designed for long, trouble free service. The taping head will perform best when it receives routine maintenance and cleaning. Taping head components that fail or wear excessively should be promptly repaired or replaced to prevent damage to other portions of the head or to the product.

WARNING

•To reduce the risk associated with sharp blade hazards:

−Keep hands and fingers away from tape cutoff blade edge. The knives are extremely sharp

1.Loosen, but do not remove, the blade screws

(A). Remove and discard old blade.

2.Mount the new blade (B) with the beveled side away from the blade holder.

3.Bottom the blade slots against the screws. (This will position the blade at the correct angle.) Tighten the blade screws to secure the blade.

Note – Check the blade position to insure proper clearance between blade and guard by slowly pivoting the blade guard back.

Blade Guard

The blade guard covers the blade whenever a box is not being taped. Periodically check to be sure the blade guard is functioning properly and returning to cover the blade. Replace any defective parts.

Blade Oiler Pad

WARNING

•To reduce the risk associated with sharp blade hazards:

−Keep hands and fingers away from tape cutoff blade edge. The knives are extremely sharp

The taping heads are equipped with a felt oiler pad that has been pre-lubricated at the factory to provide a film of oil on the cutting edge of the blade to reduce adhesive build-up. Apply SAE #30 non- detergent oil as needed. Saturate felt oiler pad.

Should tape adhesive build-up occur on blade, carefully wipe clean with an oily cloth.
