Installation and Set-Up
Receiving And Handling
After the machine has been uncrated, examine the
case sealer for damage that might have occurred
during transit. If damage is evident, file a damage
claim immediately with the transportation company
and also notify your 3M Representative.
Machine Set-Up
Important – Read "Warnings", on page 20,
before attempting to set-up the case sealer
for operation.
It is recommended that the case sealer be set-up
and operated with product before placing it in the
production line. This approach will allow your
thorough review and familiarization with the case
sealer before subjecting it and operating personnel
to a production situation where time for set-up,
adjustments, and operator training usually becomes
limited.
For future reference, record machine serial number
on front cover of this manual in the space provided.
The following instructions are presented in the order
recommended for setting up and installing the case
sealer, as well as for learning the operating
functions and adjustments. Following them step
by step will result in your thorough understanding of
the machine and an installation in your production
line that best utilizes the many features built into the
case sealer. Refer to Figure 3-1 and 3-2 to identify
the various components of the case sealer.
Note – A tool kit consisting of metric open
end and hex socket wrenches is provided
with the machine. These tools should be
adequate to set-up the machine, however,
other tools supplied by the customer will be
required for machine maintenance.
