7) Apply food grade grease or an equivalent to the specifications shown in section 5.4 to
the notched side of the belt, using a brush, directly before entering the pressure bars
while the machine is running at a very low speed. About a pea size amount should be
sufficient. This will prevent the belts from flaking and will help extend the life of the
belt. This procedure presents exposure to moving components and can cause injury if
not careful.
CAUTION: Rotating and moving components are exposed. Use extreme caution to avoid
entanglement causing personal injury. Do not attempt if loose clothing, jewellery and/or hair
are present, they may become entangled.

printer, embosser and/or trimmer if equipped.
5.0 PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
Routine cleaning, lubrication and care will improve the running and extend the
longevity of your machine. Frequency of cleaning is largely dependent upon your production
environment; highly corrosive environments require more frequent cleaning than non-
corrosive environments. The machine should be cleaned once every two weeks.
In the event that the machine must be cleaned, please ensure that the main power
switch has been turned to the off position and the main power cord has been disconnected
and locked out. Failure to comply may result in damage to the machine and /or personal
injury.
CAUTION: Cleaning the machine while it is energized and/or running can result in
entanglement and electric shock causing bodily harm. Do not attempt if loose clothing,
jewellery and/or hair are present, they may become entangled.
