2.4 Air & Power Hookup
This section describes in detail how to hook up air and power and the air and power requirements.
Note: A qualified electrician should ensure power outlets are the required 110 VAC and properly
grounded before hooking up the power.
The air supply should be fed to the T-300 with 3/8 ID flexible tubing; this tubing affixes to the coupler
adapter (quick disconnect not provided). Connect the air to the regulator by holding the regulator firmly
in one hand and pushing the air line connector on the male regulator connector. After connecting air, the
regulator should be adjusted so the gauge reads 60 PSI. Insert the T-300 power cord into a 110VAC,
60Hz, grounded power outlet.
2.5 Main Power
The main power switch is located on the rear panel.
Press the switch to ON position so that the Red
main power light is illuminated. When the power is in the ON position, the Touch Screen will power up
displaying the Introduction Screen. The Main menu is accessed from this screen.
Note: If the Touch
Screen does not power up, see Chapter 7, Trouble- Shooting.
2.6 Bag Threading
Remove the top cover, unlatch, and raise the upper roller assembly. Then, remove the roll shaft from the
rear of the machine. Loosen one of the knobs located on the chuck which secures the roll into position.
Mount the roll of bags, centered onto the bag roll shaft, and secure the bag roll into position with the
chuck. Make sure roll is going in proper direction with the loose web of bags falling over the rear of the
roll. Thread web under the idler roll and then over the steel driven roller.
The bag web should be centered under air nozzle. Finally, lower the upper roller assembly, lock the
rollers into position using the handle and replace the top cover. See Fig. 2-1 for the T-300 for the
T-375.
Caution: Roller "Fingers" may be sharp. To avoid injury when reaching into the T-300/T-375, ensure
that you do not come in contact with the roller "fingers."
Note: The Roller Guides are for fine adjustments only, after proper tracking has been achieved. If not
tracking properly, the web of bags may "ride" up the side of the guides causing the bags to fold over.
2.8 Cycle Operation of the T-300
If all prior installation procedures have been performed properly, the T-300 should be in its operating
location with air and power connected. All guards, funnels and covers should be in position and securely
fastened.
Locate the foot switch (if you wish to run the machine with a foot switch) and plug the foot switch in the
rear foot switch connector. Press the foot switch to index one bag through the "nip" rollers. One bag
should index, blow open and stop between the pressure bar and the heater bar. You may also use the
guard switch or simply press the MANL CYCLE button on the touch screen. If the T-300 is not up to
temperature, the machine will not cycle unless the <Run> button is toggled to the <Setup> position.
If the web of bags breaks prematurely, further adjustments will be required. See Chapter 7, Trouble
shooting. If one bag indexed through the machine, press the foot switch a few times more. Each
previously indexed bag should detach completely from the web of bags. If the bag is not indexing and/or
stopping or not tearing off properly, see Chapter 3 for Settings Adjustment or Chapter 7, Troubleshooting.
Note: Web of bags may track right or left for a few feet until “settled” on the web path. The roll of bags
or the roller guide may require readjustments or realignment after the first few feet of bags are indexed.
