for different flight lengths by moving the pushers to
different bases:
1. Locate the master pusher which is installed in a
blue base. This pusher is never moved and is the
starting point.
2. Remove pushers by turning them 90 degrees and
pulling them out of the base. Place them into the
correct base and turn 90 degrees.
3. If an 8 inch flight length is required, install a
pusher every 8 inches from the master link until
you return to the master pusher.
4. Every flight MUST be the same length and NOT
ALL flight lengths are possible. Refer to the origi-
nal order specifications for product lengths that
were factory tested.

4.8 Screen Messages

Explanation
The following is a list of messages that can be dis-
played on the HMI. Some of these messages are only
displayed if certain options are installed. Whenever
the wrapper is turned ON, the Main Screen appears
and displays any existing conditions, some of which
will prevent the wrapper from running. The wrapper
cannot be started until these conditions are cleared.

Messages
The following messages are displayed when there is
a condition present such as an open guard. Messages
concerning options will not appear unless the machine
is equipped with the option.

upper and lower crimpers. It should be
positioned so it achieves a good seal and
cutoff with the least amount of contact
with the lower crimper. If the crimpers are
too close together, the material will tear;
if they are too far apart, they will not seal
properly. The spacing required between
the crimpers will depend on the thickness
of the sealing material.

Sealing Pressure
The upper endseal shaft is spring loaded
to apply pressure to the sealing material.
These springs also allow the upper

Cutoff Knife And Anvil


The upper crimper contains a cutoff
knife and the lower crimper has a backup

sealing surface only far enough to achieve
a good cutoff. There are two different
styles of cutoff knives; one is adjusted with
screws and the other uses shims.

on the shafts.

1. Lockout and tagout the power while


performing this procedure.

2. Remove the knife and anvil from the


new crimpers.
3. Place four layers of film in the center of
the crimpers and rotate the crimpers to
the closed sealing position.
4. Turn the spring adjusting nuts (1) on
both sides of the shaft until:
• the peaks and valleys on the
crimpers are properly meshed
• the shafts are parallel so that there
is uniform pressure across the
crimpers.
5. Use two spacers that are the same
width as the knife, and slide them into
the knife and anvil slots at the end of
the crimpers.
6. Tighten the mouting screws (2) in a
diagonal pattern.
7. Rotate a piece of carbon paper to take
an impression of the crimper mesh.
