IMPORTANT
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.

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.
Use a lift to load and unload rolls larger than 50
yards. They can weigh up to 500 lbs and can
crush you.
Carefully align the two films being fed into the
nip. If not, you will obtain poor results.
