Operation (continued)

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 machine or taping heads

Never attempt to work on the taping heads or load tape when 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

It is recommended that the detailed instructions and sketches in this manual be referred to the first few times the taping head is loaded/threaded until the operator becomes thoroughly familiar with the tape loading operation.

Note Remove tape roll before removing taping head from machine to minimize weight.

CAUTION

To reduce the risk associated with muscle strain:

Use proper body mechanics when removing or installing taping heads that are moderately heavy or may be considered awkward to lift

To reduce the risk associated with impact hazards:

Place the taping head on a smooth level surface when maintaining or servicing this equipment

Tape Loading – Upper Taping Head

1.Place the upper taping head in a convenient working position.

2.Refer to Figures 3-3 to 3-5and tape threading label. Position the tape supply roll so the adhe- sive side of tape is facing the front of the taping head as it is pulled from the supply roll.

3.Attach the threading needle to the end of the roll. Guide the threading needle around the wrap roller (Position 1) then back around the one-way tension roller (Position 2).

4.Continue pulling the threading needle down and guide it between the two rollers on the apply arm (Position 3).

5.Pull the threading needle down until the tape travels between the apply plate and the ears of the apply arm (Position 4) until it extends past the applying roller. When properly threaded the adhesive side of the tape should be facing the knurled rollers at position 2 and also position 3.

6.Cut away any excess tape.

Important – Do not cut against the apply roller - roller damage could occur.

Tape Loading – Lower Taping Head

1.Remove the lower taping head from the conveyor bed or associated equipment and place it a convenient working position.

2.The lower taping head is loaded and threaded in the same manner as the upper head. Follow the upper taping head tape loading/threading procedure.
