Excessive wear is defined as significant changes in the diameter of the pressure roller
resulting in unacceptable labeling/tabbing performance.
3.3.4 Label Backer Tension
The tension of the label backer material in the section between the Wide Label Tabber
Storage Bin (p/n 9103807) and the Wide Label Peel Point Assembly (p/n 9103815A) must
be taut. This is accomplished by adjusting the pressure on the label backer material using
the Brush Pivot Assembly (p/n 9103816A). Illustrations of proper and poor setup of the
label backer material tension are shown in
Figure 3-10.

If it is determined that insufficient tension is present, the following steps should be
performed to readjust the backer material:
PROPER POOR
¼-20 UNC
Lever Handle

If backer material is
loose it will result in
inaccurate label
placement
Backer Material
must be taut
1. Loosen the ¼-20 UNC Lever Handle (p/n 206010) and back off the Brush Pivot
Assembly, WL (p/n 9103816A).
2. Adjust the label backer material so that it is taut as shown in Figure 3-10.
3. Reposition the Brush Pivot Assembly and tighten so that it is applying pressure
onto the label backer material.
