Box Jam

If a box should jam or there is a need to shut the machine off with the upper head assembly in the up position, the E-Stop button can be pressed or the guard door can be opened. Either function will automatically raise the upper head assembly to its highest position and the air pressure will be exhausted from the belt assemblies. The box can be removed and the tape should be checked to insure that it is threaded properly. When the E-Stop is pulled up or the door closed the upper head assembly will lower to the lowest position.
