Installation and Set-Up

Receiving And Handling

After the machine has been uncrated, examine the case sealer for damage that might have occurred during transit. If damage is evident, file a damage claim immediately with the transportation company and also your 3M Representative.

Machine Set-Up

Important – Read "Warnings" on page 17 before attempting to set-up the case sealer for operation.

The following instructions are presented in the order recommended for setting up and installing the case sealer. Following them step by step will result in an installation in your production line that best utilizes the many features built into the case sealer. Refer to Figures 3-1 and 3-2 to identify the various components of the case sealer.

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 mainte- nance.

PACKAGING AND SEPARATE PARTS

1.Lift off fiberboard cover off pallet after removing staples at bottom.

2.Remove protective wrapping around machine.

3.Remove hardware that secures case sealer legs to pallet.

4.Cut cable ties that secure upper assembly to machine bed on each side of machine. Remove and discard cable ties and foam blocks.

5.Ensure that the tape drum bracket assembly, located on the lower taping head, is mounted straight down, as shown in Figure 2-1A. The tape drum bracket assembly can be pivoted to provide tape roll clearance in certain cases.

6.Use appropriate material handling equipment to remove the machine from the pallet and move it into position.

CAUTION – Machine weighs approximately 208 kg [460 pounds]

uncrated.

7.Adjust machine bed height. The case sealer is equipped with four adjustable legs that are located at the corners of the machine frame. The legs can be adjusted to obtain different machine bed heights from 510 mm [20 in] minimum to 690 mm [27.25 in] maximum.

Note –Minimum machine bed height can be reduced to 400 mm [15.75 inch] by moving outer columns up one set of mounting holes. However, this change also reduces minimum box height of 127 mm [5.00 inch] to 232 mm [9.12 inch]. (See "Special Set-Up Procedure

– Outer Column Re-positioning", page 24.)

Refer to Figure 2-1C and set the machine bed height as follows:

a.Use appropriate material handling equipment and blocking techniques to raise the machine frame to allow adequate leg adjustment.

b.Loosen, but do not remove, two M8 x 16 socket head screws in one leg (use M6 hex wrench). Adjust the leg length for the desired machine bed height. Retighten the two screws to secure the leg. Adjust all four legs equally.
