B. Box Size:		Minimum	Maximum
Length –		150mm [6.0 inch]	Unlimited
Width	–	140mm [5.5 inch]*	545mm	[21.5 inch]
Height	–	120mm [4.75 inch]** ***	620mm	[24.5 inch] ***

*Minimum box height can be reduced to 110mm [4-1/4 inches] by removing machine compression rollers OR Minimum box height can be reduced to 90mm [3 1/2 inches] by removing machine compression rollers and also adjusting taping heads to apply 48mm [2 inch] tape legs (See "Special Set-Up Procedure".)

**Maximum box height can be increased to7 25mm [28-1/2 inches] by relocating machine outer columns to upper position. (See "Special Set-Up Procedure".)

Note: Raising columns to upper position also increases minimum box height to 210mm [8-1/4 inches].

Note: The case sealer can accommodate most boxes within the size range listed above. However, if the box length (in direction of seal) to box height ratio is 0.6 or less, test run several boxes to ensure proper machine performance.

DETERMINE THE BOX LIMITATIONS BY COMPLETING THIS FORMULA:

BOX LENGTH IN DIRECTION OF SEAL		= SHOULD BE GREATER THAN 0.6
BOX	HEIGHT

Any box ratio approaching this limitation should be test run to ensure performance.

5-SHIPMENT-HANDLING-STORAGE, TRANSPORT

5.1 Shipment and Handling of Packed Machine

						W
- The machine is fixed on the pallet with four (4) bolts				L
and can be lifted by using a fork truck.
- The package is suitable to travel by land and by air.
- Optional sea freight package is available.
		H
Packaging Overall Dimensions
(Figure	5-1)

See Specifications.	Figure 5-1

During the shipment it is possible to stack a maximum of 2 machines (Figure 5-2).

5.2Packaging for Overseas Shipment (Optional - Figure 5-3)

The machines shipped by sea freight are covered by an aluminum/polyester/polythene bag which contains dehydrating salts.

5.3 Handling and Transportation of Uncrated

Machine

The uncrated machine should not be moved except for short distances and indoors ONLY. Without the supporting pallet, the machine is exposed to damage and may cause injuries. To move the machine use belts or ropes, paying attention to place them in the points in-

dicated using care to not interfere with the lower taping head (Figure 5-4).

5.4 Storage of the Packed or Unpacked Machine

If the machine is not used for a long period, please take the following precautions:

-Store the machine in a dry and clean place.

-If the machine is unpacked it is necessary to protect it from dust.

-Do not stack anything over the machine.

-It is possible to stack a maximum of 2 machines (if they are in their original packing).

WARNING

•To reduce the risk associated with mechanical and electrical hazards:

−Allow only properly trained and

qualified personnel to operate and service this equipment.

WARNING

• To reduce the risk associated with muscle strain:

−Use the appropriate rigging and material handling equipment when lifting or repositioning this equipment.

−Use proper body mechanics when removing or installing taping heads that are moderately heavy or may be considered awkward to lift.

7.4Machine Set-Up / Bed Height

Adjust machine bed height. The case sealer is equipped with four (4) adjustable legs that are located at the corners of the machine frame. The legs can be adjusted to obtain different machine bed heights from 610mm [24 inches] minimum to 890

mm [35 inches] maximum - See Specifications.

Refer to Figure 7-3 and set the machine bed height as follows:

1.Raise and block up the machine frame to allow adequate leg adjustment.

2.Loosen, but do not remove, two (2) M8 x 16mm 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 (4) legs equally.
