MACHINE SECTIONS

Infeed gate
The infeed gate when it's "up" position, prevents boxes from entering the machine; and in its
"down" position, allows box to enter. The infeed gate drops down when the box releases LS-2.
Side rails
The side rails keep a box centered in the machine as it is being processed. The side rail system
consists of two stainless steel tubes mounted to a set of pivoting arms which are interconnected and
manually adjusted. To adjust the side rails, turn the hand knob counterclockwise and place a sample size
box to be sealed on the bed of the machine. Push the side rails in until they are snug against the box; re-
tighten the hand knob. The side rails will stay in this position until they are changed.
Belt drive system - standard
The two drive belts are directly driven by one drive wheel each that is mounted to the gear
reducer output shaft. The front end of the belt runs over a tension roller. The tension roller bracket holds
two guide rollers that automatically center the belts. The belts then run over the idler roller onto the plastic
anti-friction carrier attached to the sheet metal belt carrier.
The two belt tensioning brackets are spring loaded with two tension springs on each. Care should
be taken to insure that these springs are attached to the tension roller bracket after the belts have been
replaced.
To replace a belt, bring the belt lacing to the top and pull the lacing pin. Replace with new belt.
Only factory supplied belts should be used to avoid motor failure due to excessive friction. Each belt is
replaced separately; however, it is advisable to replace both belts at the same time.
