10.3 Electric System / Circuit Breaker

The electric system is protected by a ground wire
whose continuity has been tested during the fi nal
inspection. The system is also subject to insulation
and dielectric strength tests.
Circuit Breaker
The case sealer is equipped with a circuit breaker
which trips if the motors are overloaded. Located
inside the electrical enclosure on the side of the
machine frame just below the machine bed, the
circuit breaker has been pre-set and requires no
further maintenance.
WARNING
• To reduce the risk associated with
mechanical and electrical hazards:
− Allow only properly trained and qualifi ed
personnel to operate and service this
equipment.
If circuit is overloaded and circuit breaker trips,
unplug machine from electrical power:
1. Determine cause of overload and correct.
2. Plug in machine.
3. Turn machine switch "On" (I) to resume case
sealing.
Important: The use of an extension cord is not
recommended. However, if one is needed for
temporary use, it must:
• Have a wire size of 1.5mm diameter [AWG 16]
• Have a maximum length of 30.5m [100 ft]
• Be properly grounded.
