NSTALLING THE
Unpack the machine and remove any packing material from the interior or supports from underneath used
to protect components during shipping.
Install the legs at each of the three positions on the machine frame with one nut and washer for each leg
underneath the frame and another nut and washer on the inside. If the 505 or 505S is to be mounted on
[and supported from] the case sealer with mounting options 70-378 or 70-395, refer to the instructions
included with them.

EVELLING THE ACHINE
If standing directly on the floor, the base of the frame should be made level to ensure personnel safety,
provide optimum performance and avoid frame stress.
Please note that the standard BEL 505 & 505 'S' are intended to operate in a horizontal position.
Attempting to tilt the 505 or 505 'S' toward the operator will cause excessive wear in the case width
adjustment mechanism and may case it to bind or damage the width adjustment screw. A width
adjustment equalizer option 70-380 is on BEL 505's that are used with side-tilt mounted systems.
[Another possibility for a side-tilt system is the BEL Model 507 Tilt Packing Station. It is designed to tilt
towards the operator for case erecting and loading and then back to the horizontal position for feeding
into a sealer or onto a conveyor.]

LIGNING THE ACHINE
The machine should be securely mounted to adjoining equipment to prevent the machine moving as it
operates. If being directly connected to a BEL case sealer, it is important that the centers of both
machines be in line for ease of case transfer between machines. When a BEL 505 is provided together
with a BEL sealer a jig is provided to further assist aligning the machines. The BEL 505 should be level
with, or slightly higher than, the case sealer conveyor.
