INTRODUCTION

This can sealer was thoroughly inspected and tested at the factory before shipment. Immediately
upon receipt, carefully check the can sealer for damage before using it. Do not operate the can sealer
if it is damaged; call 920-682-8627 for further instruction.

The 225 comes with either the CY-28 No. 2 Chuck or the CY-27 No. 3 chuck and the CY-3 Base Plate.
These are designed and set up to seal a No. 2 or No. 3 can. A sample can was used to set up the
machine and was locked in place during shipping to help protect the machine. Prior to removing the
container, lower and raise the base plate by turning the Can Lifter Handle as far as possible to the left
and then back to the right a few times. Pay attention to the amount of pressure you have to apply to
the Lifter Handle when locking the can into place. It is good to develop a feel for the amount of base
plate pressure required to properly seal a can. Cans with a bigger or smaller diameter will require a
different size Chuck and Base Plate. Height adjustment with spacers is necessary before attempting
to seal other size cans.

GETTING STARTED

1. The sealer can be firmly attached to a table or bar using the four bolt holes (cast into sealer

base) to bolt down the sealer. If that isn’t possible, you can use a C-clamp to attach the sealer
to a bench top.

2. For operation, the seaming lever rivets (CY-22R) should be in the number 2 or the size you are

sealing hole of the cam roller lever (CY-22).

3. Lower the Base Plate (CY-3) by turning the Can Lifter Handle (CY-10) as far as possible to the

left.

4. Place lid on filled can and set can on Base Plate (CY-3).

5. Raise can until it is clamped firmly between the Base Plate and Chuck by turning Can Lifter

Handle (CY-10) as far as possible to the right until handle locks itself against the Frame (CY-1).
The can is now ready to be sealed.

6. Turn the Hand Crank (CY-11) until the first operation roller touches the can. Continue to turn

until the first operation roller pulls away from the can. This hooks the lid to the can. Keep
turning the Hand Crank until the second operation roller touches the can; continue to turn
until the second operation roller pulls away from the can. This finishes the seal. (You will turn
the hand crank a total of 18 times).

7. When both arms are away from the can, pull can lifter handle toward you and remove can.

8. Wipe down the machine frequently to prevent buildup of foreign material.
