Film Drive Wheels: Unlocking/Adjusting/Locking
The Film Drive Wheels, resting against the Film Drive Bearings on the Mandrel, advance the
film down the length of the Mandrel toward the Cutter Assembly.
ATTENTION: The Film Drive Wheels should be tight enough to consistently
advance the label film.
The Film Drive Wheels must be loosened to remove the Mandrel or when less pressure on the
Film Drive Bearings is needed. They must be tightened to help stabilize the Mandrel and when
more pressure on the Film Drive Bearings is needed.
To Adjust the Film Drive Wheels:
Unlock the Film Drive Wheel Lock by turning it counterclockwise.
ATTENTION: Attempting to adjust the Film Drive Wheels when they are
locked can damage the LX-150 and void the warranty.
Holding the Mandrel with one hand, turn the Film Drive Wheel Adjust. If adjusting the
Film Drive Wheels to move film down the Mandrel, they should be tight enough to
consistently advance the label film.
a. Turn clockwise to move the Film Drive Wheels away from the Mandrel.
b. Turn counterclockwise to move the Film Drive Wheels in toward the Mandrel. A
Clutch Release within the Film Drive Wheel Adjust will noticeably slip when the
Wheels are correctly positioned.
Once the Film Drive Wheels are properly positioned, lock the Film Drive Wheel Lock by
turning it clockwise.
