SECTION FIVE – PERIODIC MAINTENANCE, CLEANING, AND LUBRICATION
5.1 MAINTENANCE
There are very few maintenance items on the 700 Labeler. The three main factors to consider are:
1. Clean the Drive Roll regularly. As the machine is used you will notice a film or line around the black
Drive Roll. This is usually from the extra adhesive that has oozed out from under the labels. This
buildup of adhesive and dust that sticks to it can create problems with labels sticking to it, or the
drive or applicator roll slipping on the product or label. Clean the roll with mineral spirits, or acetone
(whatever breaks down the adhesive best) and a clean rag. Doing this regularly will prevent
problems. “Goop” hand cleanser and “Goo Gone” also work well. If using a petroleum solvent like
acetone or mineral spirits, follow that by cleaning the rolls with a soapy water solution.
2. Drain the Air Inlet Filter and reservoir. Compressed air typically has some condensation in it and
your labeler has a drain trap for that. Turn the small knob in to allow the trapped water to drain out
every day. The morning is the best time.
3. Periodically the Peel Plate will need to be changed. Paper is abrasive and over time and use will
wear the stainless steel Peel Plate. To change the Peel Plate, remove the socket head cap screws
and the old plate. Install a new plate and fasten it in place with the socket head cap screws.
5.2 CLEANING THE MACHINE
The 700 Labeler is best cleaned with soapy water or general purpose cleaner. Regular cleaning of the machine is
recommended.
5.3 LUBRICATION
The only lubrication points on the machine are:
1. The Web Hub Shaft (Feed Reel) sometimes needs thin oil lubrication to keep it from sticking and
the Feed Reel moving freely. Lift it up and apply the oil to the post.
