Air & Power Hookup; Main Power; Bag Threading - Advanced Poly-Packaging T-1000-S14 Advanced Poly-Bagger Operation Manual

Dancer Assembly: The dancer assembly, located on the stand at the rear of the T-1000, is secured with
tape strapping during shipment. After the removal of the strapping, the dancer should be checked to
make sure that it will rotate freely in a semicircular path. The shaft assembly may then be inserted into the
dancer frame brackets so it is over the brake stop for tension. The dancer should be checked to insure that
it rotates freely.
CAUTION: Seal bar should not come in contact with the funnel during sealing. Raise the funnel to avoid
contact.
CAUTION: To avoid injury, do not operate the T-1000 without a funnel, guard or covers properly
positioned.
CAUTION: APPI offers a variety of funnels and chutes. You may need to add guarding to prevent
operators from reaching in, around or under the guard or funnels.
CAUTION: To avoid injury, do not reach underneath guards while the machine is plugged in.
Machine Height Adjustment: The height of the T-1000 is adjustable. To change the height of the machine,
three (3) people total are required. With two people holding the weight of the machine, loosen the two
bolts located on the leg, clamping the outer leg to the inner leg (Fig 2-4). Raise or lower the T-1000 to the
desired height, and tighten the two bolts.
CAUTION: Unless properly supported the T-1000 will drop suddenly when loosening the height adjust
bolts. This may cause damage to the machine or injury to individuals.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to adjust the height without the assistance of at least two other people
supporting the weight.
2.4 Air & Power Hookup
This section describes in detail how to hook up air and power and the air and power requirements. Note:
A qualified electrician should ensure power outlets are the required 115 VAC and properly grounded
before hooking up the power.
The air supply should be fed to the T-1000 with 3/8 ID flexible tubing; this tubing affixes to the coupler
adapter (quick disconnect not provided). Connect the air to the regulator by holding the regulator firmly in
one hand and pushing the air line connector on the male regulator connector. After connecting air, the
regulator should be adjusted so the gauge reads 60 PSI. Insert the T-1000 power cord into a 115 VAC,
50/60 Hz, grounded power outlet.

2.5 Main Power

The main power switch is located on the rear panel (Fig. 2-5). Press the switch to ON position so that the
Red main power light is illuminated. When the power is in the ON position, the Touch Screen will power
up displaying the Introduction Screen. The program version will also be identified. The introduction
screen will only appear for a few seconds until automatically changing to the Operation Screen or Main
Menu. Note: If the Touch Screen does not power up to the Introduction "T-1000" screen, see Chapter 7,
Trouble- shooting steps.
2.6 Bag Threading (Fig. 2-6 & 2-7, Threading Diagrams)
The first step to threading the machine is to place a roll of bags on the shaft. Remove one of the chucks
from the shaft by loosening the chuck knob and slide the roll of bags over the shaft, locking the chuck pin
in the small hole in the core plug. Tighten the knob. Replace the second chuck also locking the chuck pin
