7-INSTALLATION (continued)
Machine Set-Up
The following instructions are presented in the
order recommended for setting up and installing the
case sealer, as well as for learning the operating
functions and adjustments. Following them step by
step will result in your thorough understanding of
the machine and an installation in your production
line that best utilizes the many features built into
the case sealer. Refer to Figure 7-13 and 7-14 to
identify the various components of the case sealer.
1. Install the upper tape drum bracket on the top
crossbar as shown in Figure 7-7A.
2. The column guards, shown in Figure 7-7 have
been installed upside down for shipping. Remove
and retain the screws and washers holding the
guards on the columns for re-installation after
the Bumper Supports have been mounted (see
Column Bumper Installation in the Installation and
Set-Up Section and Special Set-Up Procedures
Section / Figure 7-7). After the Bumpers have
been installed, the Column Guards must be
repositioned (rotated 180° and re-installed -
Figure 7-7) for safe operation of the machine.
Replace existing screws and washers to secure
the guards in place.
3. Cut cable ties securing upper assembly to
machine bed on each side.
WARNING
• To reduce the risk associated with
mechanical and electrical hazards:
− Allow only properly trained and qualifi ed
personnel to operate and/or service this
equipment
Important – Use care when working with
compressed air.
The case sealer requires a 5 bar gauge pressure
110 litre/min [70 PSIG], @21°C, 1.01 bar [3.75
SCFM] compressed air supply. As shown in Figure
7-14, an on/off valve, pressure regulator, and fi lter
are provided to service the air supply.
700rks
Note – A precision regulator is used to balance the
top drive assembly. Due to the self relieving
feature of this regulator a small amount of air
will continually vent to the atmosphere. This
is normal and amounts to approximately
3 litre/min. [0.1 SCFM].
4. Pneumatic connection.
a. Read and remove safety tag from pneumatic
"On/Off" valve.
b. Connect the main air supply line to the inlet
side of the on/off valve using the barbed
fi tting and hose clamp provided
(See Figure 7-7B).
The customer supplied air hose (8mm [5/16 inch]
ID) must be clamped tightly to the barbed fi tting.
If another type of connector is desired, the
barbed fi tting can be removed and replaced with
the desired 1/4-18 NPT threaded connector.
Always turn the air valve "Off" when the air
supply line is being connected or disconnected.
5. Turn the air supply on be turning the air on/off
valve to SUP (On).
6. Raise and latch upper drive assembly in full "Up"
position.
Note – The air valve has provisions for lock out/
tag out according to plant regulations.
Note – Read "Operation – Mechanical Latch"
before raising and latching upper drive
assembly.
• To reduce the risk associated with
impact hazards:
− Always use appropriate supporting
means when working under the upper
drive assembly
