Setup/Startup
Tape and Roller Setup
To help prevent injury from cutting, install
the blade guard or remove blade prior to
adjusting rollers.
Accurate tape and roller setup is essential to
ensuring that the tape properly aligns into
road inlay grooves and to ensure rollers
remain free from adhesive primer. Failure to
properly set the tape and rollers could make
taping difficult.
Loading Tape
1.
Perform pressure relief procedure, see
Pressure Relief Procedure, page 7.
2.
Remove end collar from tape support
spindle.
3.
Align inside collar in proper location
along spindle, depending on the width of
the tape, to position it correctly on the
spindle.
4.
Lock inside collar into position.
5.
Load tape onto spindle so that the tape
feeds from the bottom of the roll.

6.
Re-install end collar.
NOTE: It is critical that the tape remain in
tension during the application process. Prior
to locking the end collar into place, press the
collar into the tape roll so that the tape does
not feed too fast during high speed
applications.
7.
Lock end collar into position.
8.
Adjust the collars on the tape guide roller
and the segments on the applicator and
tamping rollers to match the position and
width of the tape, see Roller
Adjustment, page 11. Matching lines
are provided on the rollers to allow for
easy alignment of tape.
NOTE: Applicator and tamping rollers should
be set up to match the width of the tape. If
rollers are wider than the tape, the tape may
not properly affix into road inlay grooves.
NOTE: It may be helpful to lift the brake (as
shown below) before feeding tape, or if tape
is difficult to pass through the rollers.
