IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY

The development of a good safety program, that is rigidly
enforced, is absolutely imperative when involved in the operation of
industrial equipment. Our machinery is well designed and includes
extremely important safety features. The part you the user play
through proper installation and maintenance procedures is of far
greater significance than our designs. Only properly trained
individuals following rigidly enforced safety rules, as recommended
by A.N.S.I. and O.S.H.A., should be allowed to operate these
machines.

UNPACKING

THOROUGHLY INSPECT EQUIPMENT UPON ARRIVAL.

If goods are received short or in a damaged condition, it

is important that you notify the carrier’s driver before he leaves
your company and insist on a notation of the loss or damage

across the face of the freight bill. Unless this is done, no claim can
be enforced against the transportation company.

If concealed loss or damage is discovered, notify
the carrier at once and insist on an inspection. This is
absolutely necessary! A concealed damage report must be
made no later than ten (10) days from the date the shipment
was delivered. Unless you do this, the carrier will not
consider any claim for loss or damage. The carrier’s agent will

then make an inspection and grant a concealed damage notation. If
you give the transportation company a clear receipt for the goods
that have been damaged or lost in transit, you do so at your own risk
and expense.

All claims must be filed within 10 Days of delivery date or
carrier will not accept them.

Sealer Sales is willing to assist in every possible
manner to collect claims for loss or damage; however, this does
not hold Sealer Sales responsible for collection on claims or
replacement of material.

Installing Film Roll

Remove film tension spring assembly by turning counter clock wise.

Load film roll and tighten spring tension assembly. Whenever it is

necessary to wrap the film more tightly around the pallet, thus saving
material, the film roll unwinding can be varied by turning the hand
wheel which by means of the clutch below it, brakes the film and
stretches it more tightly.
