ROCEDURES C entring 36mm(1 ½”) & 60mm(2 ½”) Tapes U U U If the tape is not a standard size, the tape mandrel hub will need a Spacer Ring to center the tape. Spacer Ring part # is UPH7435. Use the Spacer rings for the 36mm(1 ½”) tape on a 2” mandrel hub and the 60mm(2 ½”) tape on a 3”...
ROCEDURES T ape Leg Length Adjustment U U U For maximum sealing, the tape leg length has been factory set at 3 inches (76 mm). However, the tape leg length can be shortened. Front Tape Leg To adjust the tape leg length on the front panel of the box, refer to Figure 7-12 of the clutch assembly.
ROCEDURES Clutch Roller Adjustment The one-way clutch roller assures that the tape does not go backwards any time during dispensing, further more it is a tool in achieving correct front tape leg length. Different quality tapes have different adhesives and release coats. This has an effect on the dispensing, e.g.

ROCEDURES Option 2: To change the rollers’ pressure one can move the spring retainers position on the cover frame. Move the M5 FHCS towards the front of the tape head to increase the pressure or towards M5 FHCS FRONT OF T.H. the rear to decrease the pressure.
Page 24
ROCEDURES Knife Arm Spring Adjustment 1. To increase the force, using a 10mm open end wrench, turn the 6mm nylon lock nut clockwise until desired pressure achieved. 2. To decrease the force, using a 10mm open end wrench turn the nylon lock nut counter clockwise, so that the pressure on top flaps is reduced, but it stil cuts the tape.
