Raising The In-Feed Rails; Adjusting The Sealing And Cooling Bar Pressure - PLEXPACK MPS6100-M Operation Manual

1.5

RAISING THE IN-FEED RAILS

If the in-feed rails have been lowered to perform maintenance it will be necessary to
raise them once finished. Simply reverse the procedure shown in section 1.5 to raise the rails
back into position. If the drive pulleys or gears have rotated while the in-feed rails have been
lowered it will be necessary to raise the rails while the machine is running at a very low
speed. This procedure presents exposure to moving components and can cause injury if not
careful.
CAUTION: Rotating and moving components are exposed. Use extreme caution to avoid
entanglement causing personal injury. Do not attempt if loose clothing, jewellery and/or hair
are present, they may become entangled.
1) If the rails fail to snap into place, the alignment of the drive pulleys has shifted out of
position.
2) To realign the pulleys, you must reconnect the power to the machine if it was
disconnected and turn the machine to the COOL position to prevent the heaters
from activating.
3) Adjust the speed to a very low value.
4) As the machine runs, very carefully ease the in-feed rails back into position, some
force may be needed to snap the rail into place.
5) At this point, the rails should have snapped into place. Turn off machine and
continue.
While holding the rails in place, tighten the two thumb screws shown in Figure #2.
