scratch or dent.
2. Remove gluer from carton& place on table with rubber feed roller facing you. Remove upper portion of gluer.
3. Install grooved roller in lower bearing notches in the movable spring controlled arms at each side of the tank.
The grooved roller fits in with its attached gear to the left side.
(Model 5.5H-FG has two smooth rollers. The bottom roller has only one gear.)
4. Install the smooth applicator roller (with two gears) in the upper bearing blocks (hook-like in shape).
The gear attached directly to the roller should be on the left side and mesh with the gear of the bottom roller.
The top roller snaps into position against the spring pressure of the lower roller.
1. Fill the glue tank with a water based glue/adhesive to the edge of the pour-out trough. See "Fill to Here"
lettered on the trough.
2. Place the upper portion of the gluer on the base. When done correctly you should see the smooth roller
through the opening in the upper portion. Stripper fingers should be positioned on the smooth roller.
3. Insert the label behind the rubber roller, centrally, down the inclined label ramp until resistance is felt, indicating
the label is in the feeding position.
4. Place tips of the fingers on top of the rubber roller and push away from you, through to the palm of the
hand, until label is fed past the glue roller. Use one continuous easy motion, not stopping until the label
is delivered at the front of the gluer.
1. If using GF# 5 Glue, a special dextrin glue designed for applying labels onto paper boxes, corrugated
cartons, craft paper and envelopes, daily cleanup is not required.
A. Remove upper portion of gluer and place a wet towel over the rollers and glue tank.
B. Place lower portion of gluer, with wet towel, into the plastic bag to maintain humidity level.
C. Remove any dried glue from stripper fingers and bottom of chrome plated guide bar.
D. Clean entire gluer before holidays and weekends. See #2 below.

A. Remove upper portion of gluer and pour remaining glue/adhesive from tank.
A pouring trough is built into the tank at the rear for this purpose.
B. Wash remaining glue/adhesive from tank and rollers with water. A mixture
of alcohol and water may be needed for white resin adhesives.
C. Rollers can be easily removed for cleaning but care must be used to prevent
scratching or denting.
3. A drop of light oil on each bearing, for the rubber feed roller shaft, will result in easier operation.
