12 - MAINTENANCE
The case sealer been designed for long, trouble-
free service. The machine will perform best when it
receives routine maintenance and cleaning. Machine
components that fail or wear excessively should be
promptly repaired or replaced to prevent damage to
other portions of the machine or to the product.
WARNING
•
To reduce the risk associated with
pinches, entanglement and
hazardous voltage:
−
Turn electrical supply off and
disconnect before performing any
adjustments, maintenance or servicing
the machine or taping heads.
Note – Never attempt to remove dirt by blowing
it out with compressed air. This can cause the
dirt to be blown inside the motor and onto
sliding surfaces which may cause premature
equipment wear. Never wash down or subject
equipment to conditions causing moisture
condensation on components. Serious
equipment damage could result.
Note – Wipe off excess oil and grease. It will
attract dust and dirt which can cause premature
equipment wear and jamming. Take care that
oil and grease are not left on the surface of
rollers around which tape is threaded, as it can
contaminate the tape's adhesive.

12.1 Cleaning
Regular slotted containers produce a great deal of
dust and paper chips when processed or handled
in equipment. If this dust is allowed to build-up on
machine components, it can cause component wear
and overheating of drive motor. The dust build-
up can best be removed from the machine by a
shop vacuum. Depending on the number and type
of boxes sealed in the case sealer, this cleaning
should be done approximately once per month. If
the boxes sealed are dirty, or if the environment in
which the machine operates is dusty, cleaning on a
more frequent basis may be necessary. Excessive
dirt build-up that cannot be removed by vacuuming
should be wiped off with a damp cloth.
12.2 Lubrication
Most of the machine bearings, including the drive
motor, are permanently lubricated and sealed and do
not require additional lubricant.
Figure 12-1 illustrates the areas of the case sealer
that require lubrication. Lubricate points indicated by
arrows with SAE #30 non-detergent oil and points
indicated by arrows with a small amount of multi-
purpose grease.
TAPING HEAD LUBRICATION – See Manual 2
