Important: Before starting the machine, verify that
no tools or other objects are on the conveyor bed.
Turn electrical switch to On to start drive belts.
Move box forward under upper taping head until it
is taken away by the drive belts. Always push at the
end of the box. If box is hard to move under head or
is crushed, raise the head slightly. If box movement
is jerky or stops under upper head, lower the upper
head slightly to add more pressure between box and
drive belts.
CAUTION
•
To reduce the risk associated with
pinches hazards:
−
Keep hands clear of the upper head support
assembly as boxes are transported through
the machine.
−
Keep hands, hair, loose clothing, and jewelry
away from box compression rollers.
−
Always feed boxes into the machine by
pushing only from the end of the box.
−
Keep hands, hair, loose clothing, and jewelry
away from moving belts and taping heads.
Drive Belt Tension
Belt tension must be adequate to positively move
boxes through the machine and belts should run
fully on the surface of the pulleys at each end of
the frame. The idler pulleys on the infeed end are
positioned by tension adjustment screws.
To adjust tension, see Section 13 Maintenance
and Repairs "Maintenance – Drive Belt
Replacement/Tension Adjustment".
Important – If drive belts are allowed to slip on
box, excessive belt wear will occur.
