OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
Do not use this unit with a load greater than 2500 lbs. This
includes the weight of the payload and the weight of the
pallet. If you overload the machine, it may be damaged.
This machine is designed for light commercial duty. Do
not use the unit to process more than 20 pallets per day.
If you try to use the machine more often, or try to use the
machine continuously, the machine may be damaged. The
motor may overheat, and other parts may wear quickly.
Do not use the machine with a pallet which is larger than
50” x 50”. If you try to use a larger pallet, a corner of the
pallet may hit one of the fixed parts of the machine. This
can cause the pallet or the load to shift. You may be injured,
and the machine may be damaged.
Do not try to use this machine with damaged or broken
pallets. Broken pallets may have boards or nails that
hang down below the main part of the pallet. As the pal-
let is turned, these boards or nails may catch on the belt
guard. See Fig. 1. This can cause the pallet to stop turning
suddenly, and this can cause the load to shift. You may
be injured, and the machine may be damaged. Boards
or nails may extend up to 1/8 inch below the bottom of
the pallet. If necessary, you can raise the bottom of the
pallet by placing spacers on the turntable. Use pieces of
2” x 4” lumber, about 36” long. Don’t use small blocks to
support the pallets - these may not be stable when the
load begins turning.
The power cord can be damaged or cut by sharp objects.
Keep all sharp objects away from the power cord. Don’t
step on the power cord or drop anything on it. If the
power cord is damaged, you may be exposed to 120V
AC electricity. Do not use the machine if the power cord
is damaged in any way.
Never use this machine if it is wet or under water. This can
create a serious electrical shock. Protect the unit from rain
and moisture. The machine is not intended to be used in
a washdown environment.
Do not drop the load on the turntable. If you do this while
the turntable is moving, the load may shift. You may be
injured, or the machine may be damaged. If you drop the
load while the turntable is stopped, the machine may be
damaged.
Keep the area around machine clean. Do not allow any
dirt, debris, spilled oil, or excess grease to collect. These
materials may cause you to slip while the machine is
operating, and you may be injured.
Stay clear of the turntable when it is moving. As the pallet
turns, a part of the load may rotate around and hit you.
Never operate the unit when anyone is standing on the
turntable. The person on the turntable may be thrown off
and injured.
Keep the film carriage in the latched (lower) position when
the machine is unattended or not in use.
Loading Film
1. Loosen the hand knob near the top of the film carriage.
Remove the upper saddle core from the shaft in the
center of the carriage.
2. Place the roll of film over the shaft. The new roll may
be up to 20 inches wide. As you look down on the roll
of film, the loose end of the film should be on the left.
When you pull film off of the roll, the roll should turn
in a clockwise direction.
3. Replace the upper saddle core. Tighten the hand knob
to provide the desired film tension.
Wrapping Film
1. Place a pallet on the turntable. The unit is designed
with a low clearance so it can be loaded by a pallet
jack. Place the center of the load over the center of
the turntable.
Warning!
Never operate the unit if the load is off-center. As the turn-
table moves, the load may shift, and you may be injured.
This can also damage the machine.
Warning!
Do not drop the load on the turntable. If you do this while
the turntable is moving, the load may shift. You may be
