Maintenance
The case sealer 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.
WARNING
•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
Cleaning
Note – Never attempt to remove dirt 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 this equipment. Serious equipment damage could result.
Regular slotted containers produce a great deal of dust and paper chips when processed or handled in equipment. If this dust is allowed to
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
Lubrication
Most of the machine bearings, including the drive motor, are permanently lubricated and sealed and do not require additional lubricant.
