LOADING INSTRUCTIONS
The load capacity rating as inscribed on the
nameplate of your unit designates the net capacity, assuming
a load centered and evenly distributed on the carousel. This
capacity must never be exceeded, as permanent damage or
personal injury could result. Never drop a palletized load on
to carousel as damage or injury could result.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Remove powered carousel and stretch wrap mast
from the crate. Check carefully for damage and report any
damage immediately. Place a 4" x 4" board under the motor
end of the powered carousel. This will raise the unit sufficiently
for placement of the stretch wrap mast mounting bolts.
Stand stretch wrap mast upright and align holes of the mast
mounting plate with the holes on the carousel base frame. Be
sure that the stretch wrap mechanism is facing outward.
Secure the mast to the base with the bolts provided. Remove
the retaining screw from the stretch wrap mast to release the
counter balance weight. Remove the 4" x 4" board and lag
the carousel frame to floor.
Unscrew and remove the plastic handle
(tension grip) on the top of the stretch wrap holder shaft.
Remove both stretch wrap retainers and insert them in the
ends of the stretch wrap spool, placing the top retainer
containing the thrust bearing at the top of the stretch wrap
spool. Slide the stretch wrap spool over the stretch wrap
holder shaft. The bottom stretch wrap retainer will ride on the
fiber washer. Replace plastic handle.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR WRAPPING
Plug power unit into a 120 VAC grounded receptacle.
Place palletized product in the center of the carousel. Begin
with the stretch wrap at the bottom of the mast and the
tension set loose for easy flow of stretch wrap. Attach the
stretch wrap to the pallet or palletized product.
Set the carousel speed for a slow rotation and step
on the foot switch pedal. The carousel speed adjustment is
located on the front of the speed control enclosure. The
height of the stretch wrap is adjusted manually by either
pushing up or pulling down on the horizontal handle until the
desired height is reached.
As the carousel begins to turn, slowly move the
stretch wrap up to the top of the palletized products. The
initial wraps secure the product together. When the top of the
product is reached, wrap three or four turns at the top and then
begin to move the wrap down, overlapping the previous wrap
by approximately 1/2.
You can increase the tension on the wrap by turning the
plastic handle on the top of the stretch wrap holder shaft
clockwise, and reduce the tension by turning the handle
counter clockwise.
CAUTION: Excessive wrap tension adjustment can cause
premature wear of the torque limiter.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE
OPERATOR
! Always load the unit properly. Load palletized
product in the center of the carousel. Do not drop

! Never use the carousel if it is in need of repairs
or in the case of a malfunction.
! Notify your maintenance personnel or
supervisor in case you notice anything out of the
ordinary, such as binding, odd motor noises etc.
! Do not continue to step on the foot switch
pedal if the carousel is not turning. The motor
may be permanently damaged.
