8. Preventative Maintenance
8-1. General
The Model 800rf Case Sealer is designed for long,
trouble-free service.
8-1-1. Maintenance
The machine performs best when it receives routine
maintenance and cleaning. Machine components that
fail or wear excessively should be promptly repaired
or replaced to prevent damage to other portions of the
machine or to the product.
8-1-2. Tool Kit
Since the case sealer uses metric fasteners, a tool kit
consisting of open-end and hex-socket wrenches is
provided with the machine.
Turn off electrical power and compressed
air at the machine. Disconnect the power
cord from the electrical supply and
disconnect the air supply line before
beginning maintenance. If the power and
compressed air are not disconnected,
severe personal injury could result. Use
care when replacing the tape cut-off knives.
They are extremely sharp and could cause
severe personal injury.

Cleaning
Regular slotted containers produce a great deal of
dust and paper chips when processed or handled in
equipment. If this dust is allowed to build up on
machine components, it can cause component wear
and overheating of the drive motors. The dust buildup
can best be removed from the machine by a shop
vacuum.
Depending on the number of boxes sealed in the case
sealer, cleaning should be done approximately once
per month. If the boxes sealed are dirty, or if the
environment in which the machine operates is dusty,
more frequent cleaning may be necessary.
Caution
Never attempt to remove dirt by blowing it
out with compressed air. This causes dirt to
be blown inside the motors and between
sliding surfaces. Dirt in these areas causes
serious damage and rapid wear. Never
wash the machine with water or subject it
to conditions that cause moisture
condensation on components. Serious
damage could result.
1. Vacuum the machine to remove dust and paper
chips.
2. Wipe off grime with a soft cloth dampened with
3M Natural Cleaner (62-4668-2730-0).
3. Wipe off the tape cut-off knives with a cloth
dampened with 3M Natural Cleaner. Use a
motion away from the sharp edge.
4. Drain any water from the bowl of the Main Air
Pressure Regulator/Filter and clean it as neces-
sary.
5. Wipe off the conveyor bed rollers with a cloth
dampened with 3M Natural Cleaner. Make sure
the rollers are free on their shafts. If they are not
free, spray them with 3M Natural Cleaner.
