OPERATING ISSUE
RECOMMENDATIONS
Strap does not feed past the in-feed guide.
1. Ensure tension is not turned down too low.
2. Ensure strap is loaded properly and is on top of brake arm roller.
3. Ensure length knob is not turned all the way down.
4. If strap still does not feed automatically:
a. Hand-feed strap until it comes through and out the top door.
b. If unable to feed the strap through the top door, either the
strap outlet is too tight or the jam is under the roller assembly.
5. If using 1/2" strap, outlet guide should look like Figure 5. For
narrower strap, tap in until strap has very little side to side
movement but can still move freely in the guide.
6. If strap outlet is not the problem, the strap guide will need to be
disassembled.
a. Remove socket head bolts, loosen set screw and tap out pin.
(See Figure 6)
b. Lift shaft holder off and clean out guide.
c. Reinstall pin, tighten set screw and install socket head bolts.
Machine tensions but does not cut and seal.
1. Open right door and check if round belt is on all three pulleys
(large clutch pulley and two lower pulleys). (See Figure 7)
2. If on all three pulleys, run machine with right door open. When
strap is pulled tight around package, push down the lower pulley
closest to door. This should cause machine to cut and seal. If not,
LS2 switch is most likely bad. If it does cut and seal when pushing
down, round belt is too loose and needs to be replaced or lower
piece with two pulleys on it doesn't move freely.
