OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. If the upper tape plate has been dislodged in shipping, replace as follow:
With the slot towards the front of the machine, slide under feed wheel shaft from
rear until the cut-out portions are over the retaining “buttons”. Allow the plate to
slide in place so that the front end of the plate is under the rod and the rear portion
is under the “buttons” (See figure # 2).
Figure # 2
2. Wash out the moistening brushes in soap or mild detergent and place both brushes
into the tank so the angle on the brushes slopes towards the rear of the tank (see
figure # 3). Insert the tank into the opening in front of the machine being sure the
tank is behind the upward lip on the tank shelf.

3. Fill the bottle with water and place in the
bottle holder so that the spout of the bottle is in the tank. Set correct water level.
4. Adjust the roll guides to proper width of tape.
5. Loading the tape: Take the roll of tape and peel off about 18 inches. Place the
roll of tape in the basket so that the strip of tape unwinds off the rear of the roll as
the leading end is brought towards the front of the machine with the gummed side
down. Thread the tape over the black roller at the upper rear and slide leading
edge forward under the upper tape plate and feed wheel. Close front and rear
cover (see figure # 4A & 4B).
