LOADING THE FILM (SEE FIGURE 1)
1.
Place machine on a level, stable surface, leaving
sufficient clearance from the floor to prevent the
cushions from backing up into the machine.
2. Slide the roll onto the axle (A). Ensure that the open
end of the film is closest to the machine.
3. Take the film and loop it back over the top roller (B).
4. Open the heat seal mechanism by lifting the handle (C).
5. Thread the open end of the film onto the guide bar
and pull through the open heat seal mechanism
and through the rubber drive wheel mechanism (D).
NOTE: Ensure that the perforation is NOT on the
drive wheel.
6. Using the control pad (E), select the size of film that
has been loaded. (See Operating the Machine)

2. Film Type will be displayed as a pillow size. Use the
up and down arrows to find the Film Type setting that
matches the pillow size loaded on the machine.
3. Once the correct pillow size is shown on the control
panel, the machine is set to run that film.
BATCH SIZE
Batch Size is the number of cushions the machine will
produce before automatically stopping. This number is
5,000 by default. To change the batch size:
1.
Press Select until the Batch Size parameter appears
on the screen.
2. Use the up and down arrows to adjust the number
displayed. Hold the up or down arrow to adjust this
number more quickly.
3. The machine is now set up to run this number of
bags before automatically stopping.
BLOWER ADJUST
Blower Adjust represents the amount of air that will go
into each bag. To change the blower adjust setting:
1.
Press Select until the Blower Adjust parameter
appears on the screen.
2. Use the up and down arrows to select a setting
between 0 and 10. 10 is the maximum fill. Adjust to
your preference.
3. The machine is now set to run bags at this level of
inflation. This setting can be changed while the
machine is running.
HEAT ADJUST
Heat Adjust determines the amount of heat applied to
seal the pillows once they have been filled with air. To
adjust:
1.
Press Select until the Heat Adjust parameter appears
on the screen.
2. Use the up and down arrows to select a setting
between 70% and 100%. 100% will offer the highest
heat available from the heating mechanism, while
70% will offer a lesser amount of heat.
3. The ideal setting will vary by environment.
Experiment with running the film between these
settings until the seals are complete and strong.
4. The machine is now set to run at this level of heat.
This setting can be changed while the machine is
running.
NOTE: Do not turn off main power switch or
disconnect power from machine within 30
seconds of making a change to any machine
setting.
