Maintenance
The case sealer has been designed for long, trouble
free service. The machine will perform best when it
receives routine maintenance and cleaning.
Machine components that fail or wear excessively
should be promptly repaired or replaced to prevent
damage to other portions of the machine or to the
product.
WARNING – Turn air and electrical
supplies off and disconnect before
beginning maintenance. Failure to
comply with this warning could result in
severe personal injury or equipment
damage.
Cleaning
Note – Never attempt to remove dirt from the
machine by blowing it out with compressed air.
This can cause the dirt to be blown inside the
motor and onto sliding surfaces which may
cause premature equipment wear. Never
wash down or subject equipment to conditions
causing moisture condensation on
components. Serious equipment damage
could result.
Regular slotted containers produce a great deal of
dust and paper chips when processed or handled in
equipment. If this dust is allowed to build-up on
machine components, it can cause component wear
and overheating of drive motor. The dust build-up
can best be removed from the machine by a shop
Figure 4-1 – Lubrication Chart
vacuum. Depending on the number and type of
boxes sealed in the case sealer, this cleaning should
be done approximately once per month. If the boxes
sealed are dirty, or if the environment in which the
machine operates is dusty, cleaning on a more
frequent basis may be necessary. Excessive dirt
build-up that cannot be removed by vacuuming
should be wiped off with a damp cloth.
Lubrication
Most of the machine bearings, including the drive
motor, are permanently lubricated and sealed and
do not require additional lubricant.
The Lubrication Chart shown in Figure 4-1 indicates
the machine points that do require lubrication every
250 hours of operation. (The Reference Number in
the chart refers to parts drawings, pages 43-75.)
Note – Wipe off excess oil and grease. It will
attract dust which can cause premature
equipment wear and jamming. Take care
that oil and grease are not left on the surface
of rollers around which tape is threaded, as it
can contaminate the tape's adhesive.
