Width Adjustment
Position the case between the infeed guides and by turning the crank at the machine side frame bring the
guides inward until they lightly touch the case sides, without squeezing. Another method is to place the
case between the belts and adjust them until they just touch the case but allow it to be removed, then
remove the case and adjust-in another ½ turn. After adjustment, the crank can be reverse mounted on the
shaft so the handle tucks behind the leg and no longer projects outward.
Starting the Machine
BEL machines are fitted with magnetic starter switches for added safety protection from accidental start
up in the event of a power outage or disconnection. The switch is positioned at the center of the frame
arch for easy access from either side of the machine.
To start the machine, press the green start button on the switch. Use the red button to stop the machine.

ASES
First fold down the top flaps of the case must by hand. Holding the top flaps closed, the operator directs
the case between the infeed guides until it contacts the side drive belts which grip it and transport it
through the tape heads that apply tape to the top and/or bottom flaps. Because of the BEL
Uni-drive
feature cases presented squarely to the machine will retain this squareness throughout the sealing cycle
providing a stronger seal and better appearance.
Note:
If the case sides are bulged by the product inside, the use of an optional side compression roller
(Kit # 70-007 for the BEL 150, 70-185 for the BEL 150X) is recommended to draw the top major flaps
together to effect a tighter seal. This option is also recommended when the case being sealed has a sealed
length that is less than half of the box height.
