Film Loading and Threading
The film roll should be loaded so that the tacky surface will face inward on the pallet load.
1. *Make sure the machine is in stop mode before opening the fencing door. Do not press on E-stop.
2. *Open safety fencing door (if applicable).
3. Push the lock on the carriage gate latch to unlock carriage door.
4. Remove empty film roll.
5. Ensure that the inner core of the new film roll is undamaged. If the lower (bottom) of the inner
core is damaged or somewhat unwound, trim or shave it with a sharp knife.
6. Lift the film roll and make it slide along the film support roll. Then move the bottom of the film
roll over the bottom cone film roll holder to ensure that the roll is securely in place.
7. Pull the film from the roll until a good film web is reached, cut the film and discard the damaged
portion.
8. Pull out the film manually; ensure enough length to reach the clamp when it’s closed.
9. Place film loosely between door and pre-stretch rollers, then close the door and ensure that the
carriage locks are correctly locked (this is a 2-position lock; make sure to reach the 2
nd
position
when closing the door).
10. Pull out the film manually in order to verify proper loading and operation of the film carriage.
11. Cut off the excess film and place the film on the clamp, then close the clamp with the clamp jog
push button (located on the wipe plate near the e-stop).
12. Close the door, press reset to rearm the door circuit then acknowledge the alarm and restart the
machine.
13. If film breaks during a wrap cycle, repeat steps 7 to 12 or attach film to the product.
