SWA, MANUAL
Installation
NOTE: Record the maximum turntable rotation speed when the machine is first installed.
1. Move the machine to the desired installation location. Install the machine only on an even, level
surface.
2. Lift the mast into the upright position. Insert the mast through the mast sockets with the stretch wrap
carriage pointing towards the turntable.
3. Insert the squeeze bracket into the gap between the mast and the socket as shown below; then
tighten the set screws against it using a
3
/
16
in. Allen wrench. [NOTE: The mast will wobble due to
plate flexion during use even with the squeeze angle firmly secured against the mast.]
4. [Manual models] Manual wrapping machines counterbalance the combined weight of the wrapping
material and the material carriage with a counterweight inside the mast. The machine is shipped with
the carriage raised to the top of the mast and the counterweight at the bottom of the mast. The
retaining screw (through the mast) prevents the counterweight from sliding inside the mast during the
shipping process, but must be removed now. The head of the screw is located approximately 12
inches from the base of the mast.
5. Fasten the machine to the floor with anchor bolts. There are 4 anchoring points: 2 in back and 2
under the turntable. Each of the 4 anchor tabs has a
5
/
8
in. hole for an anchor bolt. Your building
engineer should evaluate the installation site and select
3
/
8
in. anchor bolts of a length appropriate for
the location.
6. Shim and grout under the frame.
7. Connect the wrapping machine to an AC power source: Insert the turntable power cord into a 15A,
115 VAC receptacle.
•
[Powered mast models] Powered mast models have 2 power cords: one for the turntable and
another for the wrapping carriage. The 2 cords can either both be plugged into a power outlet,
or be connected and plugged into an outlet. To connect the cords, plug the turntable power

To install a ramp:
1. Position it as desired in relation to the wrapping
machine. The ramp should not interfere with the
turntable as it rotates;
2. Fasten it to the ground with hardware as described
in step 5 below through each anchor tab.
