Quick Start Guide
Set Up Load
Carefully place the load to be wrapped on the turntable. Be sure the load is
centered and stable.
Load 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 tacky surface of the film is inward on
the load.
Press in the E-stop.
Swing up the top mandrel spool.
Put the roll of film on the bottom mandrel.
Install the top mandrel on top of the roll to prevent upward movement.
Press the latch down and pull out on the carriage door to open the carriage. The
film carriage is equipped with a magnetic switch that detects when the carriage
threading door is open. When opened, it will set off an alarm on the HMI and
prevent the carriage from moving.
Pass the roped tail of the film through opening.
Close the carriage door. Ensure the latch clicks shut properly.
When the film feeding is completed, release the E-stop.
For machines without a fence, press the Start button once to reset control power.
If your machine has a fence, the multistretch will reset as soon as the E-stop is
released.
Peel off the first few winds of
the film (multistretch will run
due to displacement of the
dancer roller) and fix the film
end onto the load-or film
clamp if so equipped.
The system is now ready to
begin the first wrapping cycle.
