Run several test boxes through the machine, and
observe the flap kicking action. Adjust the kicker
cam so the kicker "kicks" earlier or later as required
(refer to figure 3-8). In general, it is better to set the
kicker to "kick" early because it contacts the flap
higher above the score-line which results in more
reliable flap folding.
WARNING – Keep hands away from
drive belts and flap kicker when
feeding boxes to the machine.
Figure 3-12
The upper side flap folding guides can be adjusted
in or out to accommodate the width of the box. For
optimum performance, the side flap folding guides
should be adjusted to the narrowest position which
allows them to catch any side flaps that may be
bent outward past vertical.
Note – Box flaps should not be bent outward
past vertical more than 15° when entering
case sealer.
