The film roll can be loaded on the carriage mandrel from either end of the roll. When
using tacky film, please verify that the tacky surface of the film is inward on the load.
1. Press in the E-stop.
2. Swing up the top mandrel spool.
3. Put the roll of film on the bottom mandrel.
4. Install the top mandrel on top of the roll to prevent upward movement.
5. Press the latch down and pull out on the carriage door to open the carriage. The film
carriage is equipped with a magnetic switch that detects when the carriage threading
door is open. When opened, it will set off an alarm on the HMI and prevent the car-
riage from moving.
6. Pass the roped tail of the film through opening.
7. Close the carriage door. Ensure the latch clicks shut properly.
8. When the film feeding is completed, release the E-stop.
9. For machines without a fence, press the Start button once to reset control power. If
your machine has a fence, the multistretch will reset as soon as the E-stop is released.
10. Peel off the first few winds of the film (multistretch will run due to displacement of
the dancer roller) and fix the film end onto the load-or film clamp if so equipped.
11. The system is now ready to begin the first wrapping cycle.
12. Press and hold the Start button for the amount of time set in the machine settings to
start the machine.
