Installation 11 Installation The BB-2/3T Case Taper is shipped boxed and mounted on a shipping pallet. The case taper is mostly assembled with the exception that the front and rear tables and casters and any optional components such as top squeezers are not attached. Remove the cardboard packaging from the machine and lift the machine up and off of the shipping pallet.
12 Installation Move Taper To Required Location CAUTION! If the case taper must be lifted for moving, use proper equipment when lifting and moving the case taper to ensure the case taper is secure and will not shift. Set up the case taper and move it to its location. The casters allow easy movement over smooth flat surfaces.
Installation 13 Install Front and Rear Tables Front and rear tables are identical and therefore interchangeable. Temporarily loosen socket head cap screws at the locations shown in the following illustration. Align the keyhole slots in the table flanges with the loosened cap screw heads and position table with conveyor belts, then re-tighten cap screws to secure table.
14 Installation Next Steps Follow instructions in the Operation section for instructions to load the tape cartridges in the upper and lower tape heads.
