Maintenance
The case sealer has been designed for long, trouble
free service. The machine performs best when it
receives routine maintenance and cleaning.
Machine components that fail or wear excessively
should be promptly repaired or replaced to prevent
damage to other portions of the machine or to the
product.
Note – Never attempt to remove dirt from
the machine by blowing it out with
compressed air. This can cause the dirt to
be blown inside the motor and onto sliding
surfaces which may cause premature
equipment wear. Never wash or subject
equipment to conditions causing moisture
condensation on components. Serious
equipment damage could result.
Lubrication
The machine bearings, including the drive motor, are
permanently lubricated and sealed and do not require
additional lubricant.
Regular slotted containers produce a great deal of
dust and paper chips when processed or handled in
equipment. If this dust is allowed to buildup on
machine components, it can cause component wear
and overheating of drive motor. The dust buildup can
best be removed from the machine by a shop vacuum.
Depending on the number and type of boxes sealed in
the case sealer, this cleaning should be done approxi-
mately once per month. If the boxes sealed are dirty,
or if the environment in which the machine operates is
dusty, cleaning on a more frequent basis may be
necessary. Excessive dirt buildup that cannot be
removed by vacuuming should be wiped off with a
damp cloth.
Cleaning
•To reduce the risk associated with
mechanical and electrical hazards:
−Turn electrical and air supply off and
disconnect before performing any
adjustments, maintenance, or servicing the
machine or taping heads.
•To reduce the risk associated with impact
hazards:
−Always use appropriate supporting means
when working under the upper drive
assembly.
