SETTING WATER LEVEL The water level is factory preset to provide proper moistening of the tape adhesive for most types of tape and should not need to be adjusted unless the tape is not sticking to the box properly. If more or less water is needed for optimum performance of your tape, then the water level may need to be adjusted.

General Machine Cleaning The feed wheel pushes tape through the machine. Obstructions such as dirt or dried adhesive can divert the tape and cause it to jam. Periodical cleaning of the tape path will mitigate tape jams. Procedure 1. Remove the upper tape plate that sets on the tape next to the feed wheel. Pull tape off from the lower tape plate if it hasn’t already been removed.
