11 - SET UP AND ADJUSTMENTS
11.6 Run Boxes to Inspect Adjustment
Figure 11-8
Run several test boxes through the machine, and
observe the fl ap kicking action. Adjust the kicker
adjustment knob so the kicker "kicks" earlier or later
as required (see fi gure 11-9). In general, it is better
to set the kicker to "kick" early because it contacts
the fl ap higher above the score-line which results in
more reliable fl ap folding.
WARNING – Keep hands away from
drive belts and fl ap kicker when
feeding boxes to the machine.
Figure 11-10
The upper side fl ap folding guides can be adjusted
in or out to accommodate the width of the box. For
optimum performance, the side fl ap folding guides
should be adjusted to the narrowest position which
allows them to catch any side fl aps that may be bent
outward past vertical.
Note – Box fl aps should not be bent outward
past vertical more than 15° when entering case
sealer.
