Installation and Set-Up (Continued)

MACHINE BED HEIGHT

Adjust machine bed height. The case sealer is equipped with four adjustable legs that are located at the corners of the machine frame. The legs can be adjusted to obtain different machine bed heights from 610 mm [24 in] minimum to 890 mm [35 in] maximum.

Note – Minimum machine bed height can be reduced to 520 mm [20.5 in] by moving outer columns up one set of mounting holes.

However, this change also reduces minimum box height of 120 mm [4.75 in] to 165 mm [6.5 in]. (See "Special Set-Up Procedure – Box/Machine Bed Height Range", page 24.)

Refer to Figure 2-2C and set the machine bed height as follows:

1.Use appropriate material handling equipment and blocking techniques to raise the machine frame to allow adequate leg adjustment.

2.Loosen, but do not remove, two M8 x 16 socket head screws in one leg (use M6 hex wrench). Adjust the leg length for the desired machine bed height. Retighten the two screws to secure the leg. Adjust all four legs equally.

OUTBOARD TAPE ROLL MOUNTING

(Lower Taping Head Alternate Position)

Remove the tape drum bracket assembly, spacer and fasteners from the lower taping head. Install and secure on the infeed end of the lower frame, as shown in Figure 2-2B.

TAPE LEG LENGTH

Taping heads are pre-set to apply 70 mm [2.75 in] long tape legs. To change tape leg length to 50 mm [2.0 in], see "Special Set-Up Procedure – Changing the Tape Leg Length", page 23.

Installation and Set-Up (Continued)

BOX SIZE CAPACITY OF CASE SEALER

At its factory setting, the case sealer handles box sizes up to 620 mm [24.5 in] maximum height. If larger capacity is needed, the machine can be adjusted to accommodate boxes up to 725 mm [28.5 in] high. Refer to "Special Set-Up Procedure – Box and Machine Bed Height Range", page 24. Note – Adjusting machine to accommodate 725 mm [28.5 in] high boxes also increases minimum box size to 165 mm [6.5 in].

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION AND CONTROLS

The electrical control box, located on the lower right side of the machine frame, contains the pre-set circuit breaker. The control box can be located on the opposite side of the machine frame if desired.

A standard three conductor power cord with plug is provided at the back of the electrical control box for 115 Volt, 60 Hz., 1.9 Amp electrical service. The receptacle providing this service shall be properly grounded. Before the power cord is plugged into 115 Volt, 60 Hz outlet make sure that all packaging materials and tools are removed from the machine. Do not plug electrical cord into outlet until ready to run machine.

Use of an extension cord is not recommended. However, if one is needed for temporary use, it must have a wire size of AWG 16 [1.5 mm dia], have a maximum length of 30.5 m [100 ft], and must be properly grounded.

WARNING – To prevent shock and fire hazard: Position extension cord

where it will be out of the way of foot or vehicle traffic. Extension cord is only for temporary use – do not use for a permanent installation.
