PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Highlight Industries’ Magnum® Case Sealer is designed to provide long, trouble-free
service. However, as with all machinery, proper attention and maintenance is the key to
long component life, maximum performance, and safe operation. By spending a few
minutes reading and following these preventive measures, you should reduce the
downtime and prolong the life of your system.
It is important to understand that these maintenance schedules are minimum
recommendations.
Highlight Industries cannot possibly know, evaluate or advise the
various trades in all schedules of periodic maintenance. Because of this, Highlight
Industries has not undertaken such tasks. Accordingly, anyone who maintains or
services a case sealer machine must first satisfy himself/herself as to the schedules of
preventive maintenance based on cycling operation and environmental locations.
Machine components that wear or fail should be repaired or replaced as soon as
possible to prevent damage to other machine components or to your product.
Cleaning
Dust and paper chips are normal debris from cartons. If the debris is allowed to
accumulate on machine components, wear of the components and/or overheating of the
motor may occur. A shop vacuum best removes dust build-up. NEVER use
compressed air to blow the dust or chips away -- this could result in the dust/chips
getting inside the motor and/or sliding surfaces and cause premature equipment failure.
NEVER subject your Case Taper to water or other liquids used to wash down
machinery. Moisture condensation could cause serious damage to components.
NOTE:
Always turn machine OFF and disconnect from its power source
before doing any cleaning or maintenance work on your system.
Failure to do so will result in severe personal injury and/or
machine damage.
