O-ring should not pinch the tab reel tight there should be some side to side movement left in the assembly. NOTE: Depending on the width of your tab paper backing, the o-ring could go either in the inside or outside groove. Reinstall the small black rubber o-ring onto the reel part.
The reel must be installed to feed from bottom. Place the reel of tabs on the unit and put plastic reel guide back on.
Also, remove the outside, black plastic, reel guide. This is most easily done with a small pair of pliers. The E-Ring can be put in one of two grooves that will adjust the width between the rollers (see picture). THREADING UNIT Before threading the unit, you must determine whether the white rollers are set to the proper width. If you need any assistance getting tabs or other items for the unit, they can be obtained through various vendors that Martin Yale Industries, Inc. This unit works with a standard reel of 5,000 tabs (15/16 or 31/32 round or 7/8 square). Once all guides are in place, the unit can be threaded. This degree of angle is necessary for normal feed to occur. Their purpose is to keep the stock at a slight angle. They should not be installed side by side usually, but equally spaced under the stock. These are for the paper height adjusters. Media Guides O-ring Drive Belt IIĤ On the back of the unit, there are four sets of holes. This will make the machine easier to reload while it is still running. NOTE: when placing the media guides on the unit, place them in a funnel effect (wider at top, narrow on bottom, by a small degree). With the tab dispenser assembly tightened, and o-ring belt in place, position the media guide brackets. The drive belt must be twisted one time in between the pulleys (in the form of a figure eight). Place the drive belt onto the tab take-up spindle and tab drive pulley on inside of foam roller. NOTE: These screws are not the same size as the others and cannot be interchanged. Attach end of peel bar with the two screws previously removed.
Once all five are in place, tighten them up. This will make putting the other screws in easier. Put the center screw/washer in first, but do not tighten. Line up the five holes in the dispenser assembly with the five holes in the frame. Remove the two Phillips screws from the peel bar mounting bracket. Locate the five Phillips heads (1) and star washers (2).
