SAFETY
Various safety devices and methods of guarding have been provided on this machine. It is essential,
however, that machine operators and maintenance personnel observe the following safety
precautions. Improper installation or operation of this equipment may cause injury to personnel or
damage to equipment.
• Before operating the Self-Actuating Lidder read through this manual. Never allow an untrained
person to operate this machine.
NOTE
• DO NOT ACTUATE MACHINE WITHOUT A TRAY HOLDER IN PLACE. Personal harm and
damage to the machine may occur if the machine is actuated without a tray carrier in place.
CAUTION
• CAUTION HOT: The heater cover and upper platen are very HOT! Caution must be used to
protect yourself and others.
• Always make sure the unit has been unplugged from power and air before cleaning or servicing.
• In addition to these general safety instructions, follow the specific instructions given through out
this manual.

1708 SELF-ACTUATING LIDDER
SET UP
1. Unpack and carefully remove the Self-Actuating Lidder. Check for completeness of your order
and that none of the items have been damaged during shipment. Save packing material for
future shipping.
2. Place the Self-Actuating Lidder in a suitable location that provides adequate working space. The
location must be sturdy, level, and capable of holding 175 lbs. per machine. For maximum
efficency of the Self-Actuating Lidder use the Workstation Stand option.
3. Use a quick detachable coupler with one way shut-off, connect air pressure to the 1/4” NPT
female fitting located on the filter/regulator. The Self-Actuating Lidder requires a minimum of 1
CFM at 90 PSI. If needed an Air Compressor option is available for the Self-Actuating Lidder.
NOTE
• DO NOT USE AN OILER OR LUBRICATOR WITH THIS MACHINE.
NOTE
• DO NOT CONNECT TO AIR PRESSURE ABOVE 150 PSI.
4. Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. The Self-Actuating Lidder requires single
phase 90 to 130 VAC, 60 Hertz with 10 ampere (minimum) circuit breaker protection.
5. To install the tray carrier, completely extend the tray carrier supports to their locked position.
Position the tray carrier over the tray carrier supports with the retractable pins facing up and the
knob facing forward. lower the tray carrier into position while locating the four tray carrier holes
on the four tray carrier support pins.
6. Load and thread lid dispenser as shown below.

1708 SELF-ACTUATING LIDDER
OPERATING PROCEDURE
1. Switch the heater power switch on by firmly pressing the “ON/RESET” button located on the
yellow power cord. A small yellow light in the center of the switch will illuminate indicating the
power is on. Wait approximately 40 minutes to allow the heated upper platen time to stabilize at
the working temperature.
2. Place a tray in the tray carrier and position a single lid on the tray. Use the retractable pins on the
tray carrier to center the lids over the tray. Be sure the adhesive side of the lid is against the tray.
NOTE
• The adhesive side of the lid can be determined by pinching a fold and rubbing the lid material
against itself. Test both sides of the lid. The rough or tacky side of the lid will be the adhesive
side.
3. Push the tray carrier into the Self-Actuating Lidder until it stops. This will cycle the heated upper
platen down, applying pressure on the film and tray flanges. As the heated upper platen lifts back
to the open position, the tray carrier will automatically reopen.
4. Remove the lidded tray by rotating the knob on the front of the tray carrier.

ADJUSTMENTS
Your Self-Actuating Lidder was tested at the factory, using the same trays and film as you will use.
Regulated pressure, temperature, and dwell time where adjusted during this test to provide a good
seal. Our test results indicate the following:
Regulated Pressure
Temperature
Dwell Time
When checking for a good seal look for seal completeness and reasonable seal strength. A poor
seal will occur if the product in the tray contaminates the tray flanges. Moisture will have the same
negative affect. Trays that have irregular flanges or are deformed also seal poorly. Defective trays
should be discarded.
Under different operating conditions, you may find it necessary to adjust one or all of the sealing
parameters. When making adjustments; change only one parameter at a time, make small
incremental adjustments, and record the change made. This is one situation where "MORE IS NOT
BETTER"! In other words, more heat plus more pressure plus longer dwell time does not necessarily
equal better seals.
REGULATED PRESSURE: To adjust the regulated pressure simply pull up the black knob on the
top of the filter/regulator and rotate until the gauge shows the desired pressure (40 PSI min.). Push
the black knob back down to lock. The knob may be removed to assure tamper resistance.
DWELL TIME: The dwell time adjustment knob is on the top of the control box located on the right
side of the machine. The dwell time can be adjusted from .1 seconds to 30 seconds. Rotate the
knob between the "0" and "F" knob markings until the desired dwell time is found. The greater the
angle (clockwise direction), the greater the dwell time setting.
TEMPERATURE: The temperature of the heated upper platen can be adjusted through an access
hole on the back side of the heater cover. Use a slotted blade screwdriver to make the adjustment.
PSI
°F
Seconds
NOTE
• DO NOT remove the adjusting sleeve or turn it in farther than necessary for the desired setting.
This action will permanently damage the thermo-switch.
Once the right combination of the three parameters is found, no further adjustments should be
necessary - so long as you do not change the film or tray material.
