1-INTRODUCTION (continued)
1.1 Manufacturing Specifi cations / Description / Intended Use (continued)
The 800rf Case Sealer is controlled from two operator
control panels located on the front left side of the case
sealer. These control panels (Electrical Control Panel
and Pneumatic Control Panel) have the most-used
controls within easy reach of the operator. The case
sealer is microprocessor-based and fi rmware con-
trolled to maintain maximum and precise control over
all operations within the case sealer.
The case sealer may be operated in Random, Fixed,
or Bypass mode. A selector switch is located on the
top of the Electrical Control Panel.
• In Random mode, the case sealer automatically adjusts itself for a wide range of case sizes,
providing a tape seal on the top and bottom of the
cartons. Random mode is considered the standard operating mode.
• In Fixed mode, the case sealer runs multiple
cartons of the same (fi xed) size, providing a tape
seal on the top and bottom of the cartons.
• In Bypass mode, the case sealer passes certain
containers through the machine, providing a tape
seal only on the bottom of the containers. The top
of these containers is not sealed.

13-MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS
13.1 Safety Measures (see section 3)
Carrying out maintenance and repairs may imply
the necessity to work in dangerous situations.
13.3 Recommended Frequency of Inspection and Maintenance Operations

13.4 Inspections to be Performed Before and
After Every Maintenance Operation
Before every maintenance operation, turn the main
switch OFF (O) and disconnect. During the maintenance operation, only properly trained and qualifi ed
personnel must work on the machine. At the end
of every maintenance operation check the safety
devices.

4. Turn the main switch STOP/OFF (O)
5. Safety guards top drive belts
13.6 Cleaning of Machine
Qualifi cation 1
A weekly cleaning with dry rags or diluted detergents
is necessary. Cardboard boxes produce a signifi cant
quantity of dust and paper chips when processed
or handled in case sealing equipment. If this dust is
allowed to build up on machine components, it can
cause component wear and over-heating of drive
motors. The dust build up is best removed from the
machine with a vacuum cleaner. Depending on the
number of cartons processed, this cleaning should
be done weekly. Excessive build-up that cannot be
removed by vacuuming should be removed with a
damp cloth.
WARNING
• To reduce the risk associated with
mechanical and electrical hazards:
− Read, understand, and follow all safety
and operating instructions before
operating or servicing the case sealer.
− Allow only properly trained and qualifi ed
personnel to operate and service this
equipment.
• To reduce the risk associated with
pinches, entanglement and hazardous
voltage:
− Turn electrical and air supply off and
disconnect before performing any adjust ments, maintenance or servicing the
machine or taping heads.

Adjustments (continued)
13.12 Box Drive Belt Tension
The two (2) continuously moving drive belts convey boxes through the tape applying mechanism.
The box drive belts are powered by an electric gear motor.
Tension adjustment of these belts may be required during normal operation. Belt tension must be adequate to
positively move the box through the machine and the belts should run fully on the surface of the pulleys at each
end of the frame. The idler pulleys on the infeed end are adjusted in or out to provide proper belt tension. Each
belt is adjusted separately.
Belt tension is obtained by tightening the adjustment screw so that a moderate pulling force of 3.5kg [7lbs.]
applied at the mid span, as shown in Figure 13-14, will defl ect the belt 25mm [1 inch]. This will assure positive
contact between the belt and the drive pulley on the discharge end of the drive assembly.
