Operation:
With the tape cartridges loaded and installed in the machine it is ready to be set
up. Place a sample box with all of its flaps folded at the infeed of the machine.
Loosen the side rails locking knob by turning counter clockwise and adjust the
rails to the width of the box. Move the rails by hand until the desired width
adjustment is made. And then turn the locking knob clockwise until the rails are
locked in position. Now loosen the upper taping head assembly lock knob. The
lock knob is located on the side of the head assembly near the mast assembly.
With the lock knob loosened the head can be moved up or down by pushing or
pulling on the head assembly. Now take the sample box and move it under the
entrance of the head assembly. Push down on the head assembly until the box
hold down rails firmly contact the top of the box and fully pushes the top box
flaps down. Lock the head assembly in position by turning the locking knob
clockwise. The head assembly is balanced by a constant force spring which
makes head height adjustments easy.
Test the box set up by turning on the machine. This is accomplished by lifting
the toggle switch on the motor starter. Place the sample box at the infeed of the
machine and while holding the top flaps down push it into the machine onto the
rough top belts. The box should come out of the discharge end of the machine
sealed with tape.
If the box hesitates going through the machine it matybe necessary to check the
head height adjustment made previously. It is important to have enough hold
down force on the rough top belts to make sure that the boxes will travel
smoothly through the machine.
