1. If the upper tape plate has been dislodged in
shipping, replace as follows:

Cord

3. Remove shaft and gold rollers and set aside.

4. Install heater shaft with silver rollers from spare parts
bag. (See Figure 3)

Shaft

5. Use replacement retaining ring provided to hold the
shaft in place.

6. Direct the heater cord under the bottle bracket. Place
cord clamp on heater cord and, using screw and nut
provided, fasten to existing hole. (See Figure 4)

NOTE: Make sure there is enough slack in the
cord near the heater so the heater assembly
can pivot freely up and down.

With the slot towards the front of the machine, slide feed
wheel shaft under from rear until the cut-out portions
are over the retaining buttons. Allow the plate to slide in
place so that the front end of the plate is under the rod,
and the rear portion is under the buttons. (See Figure 5)

3. Insert the tank into the opening on the front of the
machine, making sure the tank is behind the upward
lip on the tank shelf.

4. Fill the bottle with water and place in the bottle
holder so that the spout of the bottle is in the tank.

5. Adjust the roll guides for proper width of tape.

6. To load tape, take the roll of tape and peel off about
18 inches. Place the roll of tape in the basket so that

the strip of tape unwinds off the rear of the roll as
the leading end is brought towards the front of the
machine with the gummed side down. Thread the
tape over the black roller at the upper rear and slide
leading edge forward under the upper tape plate
and feed wheel. Close front and rear covers.
(See Figures 7a and 7b)

WATER LEVEL ADJUSTMENT

The amount of water required for proper moistening
of different grades of tape will differ. Heavier glues
or reinforced tapes will normally require higher levels
of water. Water level is controlled by the water level
adjustment screw located in the projecting portion of the
water tank. (See Figure 9)

ADJUSTMENTS

TAPE WIDTH

The adjustable roll guides in the tape basket should be

properly set for the width of tape being dispensed. The

roll of tape should be centered between the frames

by threading the tape loosely between the roll guides,
which engage in slots in the basket and roll guide
separator.

To set the roll guides in position, lift them out of the slots in
the basket and tie rod. Slide to the desired position and
drop guides into slots in the bottom of the basket.
(See Figure 8)

Screw

To raise the water level, turn the screw counterclockwise.
To decrease the water level, turn the screw clockwise.

REPEAT LENGTH STOP

The Better Pack 333 Plus is equipped with a feed stop. To
set for desired length, pull outwardly on the feed stop
until the pin disengages the hole in the drum skirt. Then
slide the feed stop assembly until the length desired
is set on the scale just above the feed stop assembly.
Release the knob, being sure the pin on the feed stop
engages with the proper hole in the skirt. (See Figure 10)

CRANK HANDLE

If desired, the crank handle can be reversed.

PRESSURE PLATE WEIGHTS

The pressure plate, which rests on top of the brushes,

has removable weights. (See Figure 11) The number of
weights can be varied to suit the tape being dispensed.
Heavyweight tapes require more weight inserts than lighter
tapes. The suggested number of weights is as follows:

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

MAINTENANCE

The best way to ensure long and carefree service

from your Better Pack 333 Plus is to KEEP IT CLEAN.
Tape dust, adhesive accumulation and other foreign

matters are harmful as they get into the working parts
of the machine. Likewise, be sure to wash the brushes

thoroughly at least once a week to ensure perfect

moistening, being careful to replace them with the

lower bevel to the back of the machine.

35 lb. Kraft Tape 0 to 1 Slug
60 lb. Kraft Tape 1 to 2 Slugs
Reinforced Tape 2 to 3 Slugs

The weights can be added or removed by pushing
them in or out from each side.

NOTE: If the machine consistently jams, there
is too much weight on the pressure plate and
some should be removed.

c. Reach inside the machine where tank was

removed, pull blade assembly down and swing
out to cleaning position. (See Figure 13)

TO CLEAN BLADE

Where reinforced tapes are used, it may be necessary

to periodically clean accumulation of laminate from the
cutting blade.

To clean the blade, follow these simple steps:

a. Remove water bottle and water tank assemblies.
b. Depress rocker stop rod protruding from the right

side of the machine with right hand and keep
it in this position until the blade assembly has
been released. (See Figure 12)

Figure 12

d. To clean blade: wipe off with suitable solvent.

When adhesive is removed, wipe with lightly
oiled cloth.

NOTE: DO NOT SCRAPE WITH HARD OBJECTS
as resulting scratches will quickly
accumulate adhesive.

e. Reinsert the blade to the cutting position by

depressing the rocker stop rod. Tip the blade
up into cutting position and push upward so the
blade will come between the stationary blade
rollers. Release rocker stop rod.

f. Try feeding and cutting tape to check if parts

are in proper position.
