Maintenance
The case sealer has been designed for long, trouble
free service. The machine will perform 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 down or
subject equipment to conditions causing
moisture condensation on components.
Serious equipment damage could result.
Lubrication
Most of the machine bearings, including the drive
motor, are permanently lubricated and sealed and do
not require additional lubricant.
Figure 4-1 illustrates the machine points that do
require lubrication every 250 hours of operation.
Lubricate the points indicated by arrows ( ) with a
small amount of multi-purpose grease.
Note – Wipe off excess oil and grease. It will
attract dust which can cause premature
equipment wear and jamming. Take care that
oil and grease are not left on the surface of
rollers around which tape is threaded, as it
can contaminate the tape's adhesive.
Regular slotted containers produce a great deal of
dust and paper chips when processed or handled in
equipment. If this dust is allowed to build-up on
machine components, it can cause component wear
and overheating of drive motor. The dust build-up
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 approximately 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
build-up 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
