IMPORTANT

Use a lift to load and unload rolls larger than 50 yards. They can weigh up to 500 lbs and can crush you.

Film is loaded on the appropriate unwinds indicated by color coding. Blue shafts and loading trays indicate unwinds, red shafts and loading trays indicate rewinds. The process of loading and aligning film is the same for both the top and the bottom unwinds/rewinds.

1.Be sure that rewind (clutch) shafts are in rewind positions (loading trays) and unwind (brake) shafts are in unwind positions so that the core gripping mechanism engages properly.

2.Slide the shaft over until the drive tang fits in the slot before engaging the unwind/rewind shaft lock- ing system.

3.Loosen the lock collar with a 1/4" hex wrench and center the material before webbing the machine.

The film must be centered on the unwind for best performance. This is vital when two films are fed together. If the two films are not aligned, feed problems, wrinkles and other assorted troubles will occur. See Table 3-2 for centering and alignment information.

IMPORTANT

Carefully align the two films being fed into the

nip. If not, you will obtain poor results.

Use the following instructions when heating the upper main roll.

1.Set the heater switch to ON.

2.Adjust the temperature controller for the desired operating temperature using the temperature con- troller set point adjustment. To adjust the set point, hold the star button down and press the up or down arrow on the temperature controller.

3.Allow the roll to come to temperature. After the roll has come up to set temperature, let the rolls run together for 5 minutes to produce even heat or you can also simply start the process a little slower and bring it up to speed as the roll reaches prime oper- ating temperature.

4.The temperature controller has an LED (light emit- ting diode) readouts to indicate the status of the heating system.

5.It will take approximately 45 minutes for the upper main roll to reach operating temperature. When the preset operating temperature has been reached, the machine is ready to use.
