Operating Instructions
Cut to Length Machine
INSTALLATION:
The Cut to Length (CTL) that you have just received is fully assembled and ready to
be put into production. Due to shipment vibration and handling, the machine should
be checked to ensure all screws and bolts are tight. Remove the cover to the
electrical controls and visually inspect that all parts are in place and secure. If the
machine was damaged in shipment, contact the carrier first to report the damage and
then Rapid-Air.
CAUTION — The CTL machine is top heavy when not sitting on its base legs.
Use extreme caution when moving this machine.
Install machine on a level surface with sufficient clearance for loading and unloading
process material. The machine should be secured to the floor through the 4 holes
provided in the feet of the machine using 7/16 tie-down bolts. Or, can be installed
using 1/2-13 leveling bolts and machine pads. The pads keep the machine from
walking during operation and also act as a noise reduction device.
The machine has two other requirements that need attention before putting the CTL
into production.
1) The customer must provide minimum CFM—RE: chart, at 75 to 120 PSI of dry air to
the machine. Connect a minimum of 5/8” ID hose into the filter regulator provided on
the machine. The inlet to the F-R-L is a NPT female thread.
2) The customer must provide 120 volt, 20 amp, 60 cycle electrical power. If an
extension cord is used between the source and the machine, it should be a minimum
12 gauge wire to keep the voltage loss down and for electrical safety reasons.
