Cleaning
  Regular slotted containers produce a 
  great deal of dust and paper chips 
  when conveyed through  taping 
  heads.  If this dust is allowed to 
  build-up on the heads, it can cause 
  wear on the moving parts.  
  Excessive dirt build-up should be 
 wiped o  with a damp cloth. 
  Cleaning should be done once per 
  month, depending on the number 
  and type of boxes used. If the boxes 
  used are dirty, or if the environment 
  in which the heads operate is dusty, 
  cleaning on a more frequent basis 
  may be necessary. 
 
Note –  Never attempt to remove 
      dirt from taping heads by 
      blowing it out with 
   compressed air. 
      This can cause the dirt to 
      be blown inside components 
      onto sliding surfaces.  Dirt in 
      these areas can cause serious 
      equipment damage.  
      Never wash down or subject 
      taping heads to conditions 
      causing moisture condens-   
      ation on components. 
      Serious equipment damage 
   could result. 
 Applying/Bu  ng Roller
 Replacement
  Replacing roller requires removal 
  of shaft and mounting screws. 
  With no area on the shaft to grip, 
  the shaft often turns when attempt-  
  ing to remove the second screw.
  To ease removal of second screw, 
  a 5mm hex socket has been 
  provided at the bottom of the 
  threads in both ends of the shaft. 
  Insert a 4mm hex key wrench into 
  this socket after removing one 
  screw to hold the shaft for removal 
  of the second screw. 
 See Figure 4-2.
