1) REMOVE THE LABEL ROLL SPRING COLLAR FROM THE LABEL ROLL HANGER AND
REMOVE THE LABEL ROLL GUIDE OUTSIDE.
2) INSERT THE ROLL OF LABELS ONTO THE LABEL ROLL HANGER SO THAT THE LEAD ING EDGE IS COMING FROM THE TOP OF THE ROLL. INSERT THE LABEL ROLL ONTO
THE 3” DIAMETER CORE INSET ON THE LABEL ROLL GUIDE INSIDE. PUT THE LABEL
ROLL GUIDE OUTSIDE ONTO THE LABEL ROLL HANGER AND MOVE IT TO THE
LABEL ROLL. POSITION THE LABEL ROLL SO IT IS INSERTED INTO THE 3” DIAMETER
CORE INSET OF THE LABEL ROLL GUIDE OUTSIDE AND REPLACE THE LABEL ROLL
SPRING COLLAR SO THE ROLL OF LABELS ARE SECURE. IF THE ROLL OF LABELS
BEING USED DOES NOT HAVE A 3” CORE USE THE LABEL ROLL GUIDES TO HOLD IT

REINSTALL THE BAR INTO THE SLOT IT WAS REMOVED FROM.
7) THE TACH-IT SH400 IS NOW READY FOR USE.
SECTION 5 – ADJUSTING FOR LABEL LENGTH:
THE TACH-IT MODEL SH400 KNOWS WHEN TO STOP FEEDING A LABEL WHEN THE LEADING
EDGE OF THE LABEL BEING FED ACTIVATES THE TRIGGER LOCATED IN FRONT OF THE
SEPARATING PLATE AND THE TRIGGER IS DEPRESSED. TO ADJUST FOR THE LENGTH OF THE
LABEL FOLLOW THE STEPS BELOW:
1) AFTER THE LABELS HAVE BEEN LOADED INTO THE MACHINE PER THE INSTRUCTIONS
ABOVE, PULL OUT ONE LABEL FROM THE DISPENSING PLATE EQUAL TO THE AMOUNT
THE OPERATOR WANTS THE MACHINE TO FEED IT TO.
2) LOOSEN THE SWITCH ADJUSTING THUMBSCREW AND ROTATE THE ENTIRE SWITCH
HOUSING SO THAT THE TRIGGER HITS THE LEADING EDGE OF THE LABEL AND THE
LEADING EDGE OF THE LABEL DEPRESSES THE TRIGGER.
3) TIGHTEN THE THUMBSCREW AND FOLLOW THE STEPS IN SECTION 6 TO TRY THE
MACHINE. IF THE DESIRED AMOUNT OF LABEL IS FED THAN PROCEED TO USE THE
MACHINE IN PRODUCTION. IF NOT FOLLOW THE STEP BELOW AND THEN TRY THIS
STEP AGAIN.
4) IF THE ABOVE STEPS DO NOT FEED THE LABEL TO THE DESIRED LENGTH, LOCATE THE
SCREW HOLDING THE SWITCH ADJUSTING ARM, LOOSEN IT AND POSITION THE
SWITCH ADJUSTING ARM TO THE DESIRED LOCATION. THAN REPEAT THE ABOVE
STEPS.
