Maintenance
The case sealer has been designed for long, trouble
free service. The machine will perform 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.
Lubrication
Most of the machine bearings, including the drive
motor, are permanently lubricated and sealed and do
not require additional lubricant.
Figure 4-1 illustrates the machine points that do
require lubrication every 250 hours of operation.
Lubricate the points indicated by arrows ( ) with a
small amount of multi-purpose grease.
Note – Wipe off excess oil and grease. It will attract
dust which can cause premature equipment wear
and jamming. Take care that oil and grease are not
left on the surface of rollers around which tape is
threaded, as it can contaminate the tape's adhesive.
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 drive motor. The dust build-up can
best be removed from the machine by a shop vacuum.
Depending on the number and type of boxes sealed in
the case sealer, this cleaning should be done approxi-
mately once per month. If the boxes sealed are dirty,
or if the environment in which the machine operates is
dusty, cleaning on a more frequent basis may be
necessary. Excessive dirt build-up that cannot be
removed by vacuuming should be wiped off with a
damp cloth.
Note – Never attempt to remove dirt from the machine
by blowing it out with compressed air. This can cause
the dirt to be blown inside the motor and onto sliding
surfaces which may cause premature equipment
wear. Never wash down this equipment. Serious
equipment damage could result.
Cleaning
• To reduce the risk associated with
mechanical and electrical hazards:
− Read, understand and follow all safety and
operating instructions before operating or
servicing the case sealer
− Allow only properly trained and qualified
personnel to operate and/or service this
equipment
− Turn electrical supply off and disconnect
before performing any adjustments,
maintenance or servicing the machine or
taping heads
