It is recommended that the detailed instructions and
sketches in this manual be referred to the fi rst few
times the taping head is loaded/threaded until the
operator becomes thoroughly familiar with the tape
loading operation.
Note – Remove tape roll before removing
taping head from machine to minimize weight.
Operation (Continued)
Figure 3-3 Insert threading needle through rollers in
direction indicated by arrows.
5. Pull the threading needle down until the tape
travels between the apply plate and the ears of
the apply arm (Position 4) until it extends past
the applying roller. When properly threaded the
adhesive side of the tape should be facing the
knurled rollers at position 2 and also position 3.
6. Cut away any excess tape.
Important – Do not cut against the apply roller -
roller damage could occur.
Tape Loading – Lower Taping Head
1. Remove the lower taping head from the
conveyor bed or associated equipment and
place it a convenient working position.
2. The lower taping head is loaded and threaded
in the same manner as the upper head. Follow
the upper taping head tape loading/threading
procedure.
Tape Loading – Upper Taping Head
1. Place the upper taping head in a convenient
working position.
2. Refer to Figures 3-3 to 3-5 and tape threading
label. Position the tape supply roll so the adhe-
sive side of tape is facing the front of the taping
head as it is pulled from the supply roll.
3. Attach the threading needle to the end of the
roll. Guide the threading needle around the wrap
roller (Position 1) then back around the one-way
tension roller (Position 2).
4. Continue pulling the threading needle down and
guide it between the two rollers on the apply arm
(Position 3).
• To reduce the risk associated with shear, pinch, and entanglement hazards:
− Turn air and electrical supplies off on associated equipment before performing any adjustments,
maintenance, or servicing the machine or taping heads
− Never attempt to work on the taping heads or load tape when the box drive system is running
• To reduce the risk associated with sharp blade hazards:
− Keep hands and fi ngers away from tape cutoff blades under orange blade guards. The blades are
extremely sharp
WARNING
• To reduce the risk associated with muscle
strain:
− Use proper body mechanics when
removing or installing taping heads that are
moderately heavy or may be considered
awkward to lift
• To reduce the risk associated with impact
hazards:
− Place the taping head on a smooth level
surface when maintaining or servicing this
equipment
