Machine Set-Up
Important – Read "Warnings", on page
14, before attempting to set-up the case
sealer for operation.

Note – A tool kit consisting of metric open end

and hex socket wrenches is provided with the

machine. These tools should be adequate to

set-up the machine, however, other tools

supplied by the customer will be required for

machine maintenance.

The following instructions are presented in the order
recommended for setting up and installing the case
sealer, as well as for learning the operating
functions and adjustments. Following them step
by step will result in your thorough understanding of
the machine and an installation in your production
line that best utilizes the many features built into the
case sealer. Refer to Figure 3-1 to identify the
various components of the case sealer.
WARNING – Follow this step
carefully as spring pressure is
applied to applying and buffing arms when
cable tie is removed. Keep hands/fingers
AWAY from tape cut-off blade under
orange blade guard. Blade is extremely
sharp and can cause severe injury.
6. Loosen and move both compression rollers out
so they don't catch on side guides.
7. Install height adjustment crank and locking
knob on top of left column as shown in
Figure 2-1B. Crank upper assembly up high
enough to allow clear access to lower taping
head. Remove and discard the two cushion
shipping blocks.
8. Using 17 mm wrench, remove nuts from top of
side guides. Replace with black knobs from
parts box. Figure 2-1C.
9. Cut and remove cable ties on both upper and
lower taping heads. (Applying/buffing rollers
are held retracted for shipment.)
Hold taping head BUFFING ROLLER and cut
and remove cable tie that holds applying/
buffing arms retracted. See Figure 2-1D.
Allow buffing/applying arms to extend slowly.
10. Install machine stops onto columns as shown in
Figure 2-1E. Use the lowest hole position and
bolt into the lowest threaded insert on the
column. (The upper hole position in the stops
is only used when the taping heads are
adjusted to apply 50 mm [2 inch] tape legs or
boxes lower than 120 mm [4.75 inch] need to
be sealed.)
