Section 6: Troubleshooting and Maintenance Troubleshooting Labels are applied to the container crooked. Check for container taper. Some containers such as wine bottles may have a slight taper that will cause the label to be applied crooked. You may be able to apply your label straight if you angle the container idler roller to correspond with the angel of the taper. - Page 17 Liner Drive Roller. Lubricate bearings. Primera recommends oiling the four bearings associated with the Liner Drive Roller and Liner Idler Roller. Oil these four bearings for every 50,000 containers labeled. They should only be oiled after the first 50,000 containers as they are lubricated with a special grease at the factory.
