2.2 Mounting the 252 Applicator
Once the applicator is out of the carton, it is time to attach it to the stand. There are a
multitude of mounting styles and orientation depending on the application, line
configuration, product handling and label placement. The first determination of
mounting will be the construction of the stand. In general, the applicator will be mounted
from below, behind or above.
Once the desired mounting position is identified, lift the applicator by the u-arm and
place it on the stand by inserting the mounting stud of the stand into the hole on the u-
arm. Immediately install the washers and locking nut that came with the stand and
tighten until the applicator is firmly secured. The Model 252 features an added set tilt
mounting block. This allows the main attachment bolts on either side to be loosened in
preparation for position adjustment while preventing uncontrolled rotation of the
applicator. Slowly loosen the bolt securing the set tilt block until the applicator can be
pivoted to the correct application position. Fully tighten the main attachment bolts and
then tighten the set tilt bolt.
If the applicator is to be mounted from the top, a second person must be
assisting. One person must support the applicator while the other installs
the washers and locking nut. Injury and/or damage can occur if
installation is attempted alone.
When mounting from the side or bottom, the applicator will suspend itself
from the mounting stud prior to the locking nut being installed. Do not
leave the unit unattended or attempt operation until the locking nut has
been firmly secured.
