Installation and Set-Up
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.
Receiving And Handling
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.
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.
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.
