2-4. Tape Loading
Turn air and electrical supplies off and
disconnect before servicing taping heads.
Never attempt to work on the taping heads
or load tape when the box drive system is
running. Each taping head is equipped
with an extremely sharp cut-off knife.
Before working with the taping heads or
attempting to load/thread tape, identify the
knife locations. Keep hands out of these
areas except as necessary to service the
taping heads. Failure to comply with these
warnings can result in severe personal
injury and/or equipment damage.
Figure 2-9 shows the components of the top taping
head.
The taping heads are pre-set to accommodate 2-inch
[48 mm] wide tape rolls. To use and apply 1-1/2 inch
[36 mm] or 1-3/4 inch [42 mm] wide tapes, refer to
the Adjustments section for set up information.
A tape-threading tool is shipped with the case sealer
for tape loading convenience. Retain the tool for
continued use in the tape loading operation. For
operator assistance, a threading diagram is applied to
the taping heads. However, it is recommended that
the more detailed instructions and illustrations in this
manual be referred to the first few times the tape is
loaded until the operator becomes thoroughly familiar
with the tape loading operation.
For convenience in loading, the bottom taping head
can be removed by lifting it out of the bed of the case
sealer. The upper head assembly must be in its
uppermost position to load tape in the top tape head.
