Always check for any signs that the machine may have been damaged before fully removing it from the
shipping skid. If machine arrives damaged contact Little David immediately to help in filing a claim with the
shipping company.
Exercise care when handling this machine, a sudden jolt or jar may cause serious damage.
Do not remove the shipping skid until machine has been moved to a point of installation. The skid is
designed for easy and safe handling of your machine.
To unpack the machine, lift off the upper crate, and then unfasten the skid. Lift the machine from the
skid and pull the skid away. Remove all packaging material that is used to secure the head and cartridge.
The bed of the machine should be aligned with the roller height of the conveyor. The machine should
be centered on the infeed conveyor roller. The machine should then be leveled. The stripper plate should be
used to adjust any minor height differences.
After the machine is in place and level, connect the machine to an appropriate grounded electrical
connection, (see machine specification label for voltage). Connect the air supply to an air source. The minimum
line pressure is 70 lbs. (5 kg/cm^2).
Before starting the machine, load the tape cartridges with tape and thread the tape. See threading
diagram.
The machine is now ready for operation. Please note that in order to start the machine, the safety gates
must be closed. When the safety gates are opened, the machine will automatically shut down.
