Maintenance - U-Line H-16 Quick Start Manual

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• After following the setting up instructions and
adjusting the machine for correct water level,
pressure plate weight and top heater temperature,
load machine with tape and you are now ready to
operate the machine.
• To feed tape just quickly touch the "button" for
the length of tape you wish to dispense. Only light
momentary pressure is needed on the dispensing
"button". The "button" controls an individual switch,
which resets when the proper length is dispensed.
If the "button" is held down too long, the switch
remains closed and a maximum measured length of
tape will be dispensed.
CLEANING
Keep your machine clean. Accumulations of dirt and
tape dust will prevent you from getting the most out of
your machine.
SHEAR BLADES
• When using reinforced tapes laminated with asphalt
or resin, this material can accumulate on the blades
and interfere with cutting the tape. This material
should be removed by applying suitable oil to the
areas of accumulation until it is removed. A small
brush is the best instrument for removal.
PRESSURE PLATE
• Remove accumulations of old dried glue from the
under side where it touches the moistening brushes.

OPERATING
RANDOM LENGTHS
• This key at the right front of the machine is for
visually measured lengths of tape. If the key is held
down, the maximum length is dispensed. With a
little practice, the operator can quickly develop his
"time" sense and dispense lengths with considerable
accuracy.
COLORED BUTTONS
• Each operating "button" on your H-16 is furnished
with a color. These colors can be used as visual
signals for the most frequently used tape lengths.
• Where it fits into your sealing operation, this simple
system of color-coding for frequently used lengths
can, over a period of time, result in savings in
both material and labor in addition to making the
operator's job of proper length selection much easier.

MAINTENANCE

BRUSHES
• The brushes should be removed from the tank
at least once a week and washed to remove
accumulations of old dried glue. Be careful to
replace the brushes in the tank with the high side
of the bevel to the front of the tank. Incorrect
placement can result in poor moistening and tape
jamming in the machine.
LUBRICATION
• All vital moving parts of this machine have oil
retaining porous bushings and should not require
additional oil for the average life of the machine.
WARNING! Do not oil feed wheel shaft. Oil
can creep in through the bearings and affect
internal parts.
