MACHINE WRAPPING TEST
Notice
: It is advisable to test-run the equipment with several pallet loads before attempting
to wrap using film. Please position the operator beside the EMERGENCY STOP push
button.
Start up of the machine (system) may determine the need for the adjustment of:
- Load height stop photoswitch (on the carriage)
- Top limit switch position
- Bottom limit switch position
- Roping bar height adjustment
Before the test procedures adjust the wrapping cycle parameters i.e. top wraps, bottom
wraps, height photocell on/off, film tension, carriage speed (those two parameters may be
adjusted during the wrapping cycle).
LOADING THE FILM
The film roll can be loaded on the carriage mandrel from either end of the roll. When using
tacky film, please verify that the inward tacky surface of the film is inward on the load.
1. Disconnect power (turn off power switch).
2. Swing up the top mandrel spool.
3. Put the roll of film on the bottom mandrel.
4. Install the top mandrel on top of the roll to prevent upward movement.
5. Pull the handle marked PULL TO OPEN to open film distributor cradle.
6. Pass the roped tail of the film through opening (as shown on the film quick threading
pattern DWG. # 418180 Fig.1).
7. Close the film distributor cradle by pushing bar marked PUSH TO CLOSE.
8. When the film feeding is completed (fig. 2) – turn the power switch on.
9. Peel off the first few winds of the film (multistrech will run due to displacement of the
dancer roller) and fix the film end onto the load.
The system is now ready to begin the first wrapping cycle.
