ASSEMBLY
Warning: Due to its weight and size, use two people to move the HL-200/201.
Warning: Before proceeding with using the HL-200/201, it is advisable to
become familiar with the Key Components. These Key Components and a brief
description of their function follow in the next section.
•Carefully remove the Hot Roll Laminator from the packaging and set it on a sturdy bench
top.
•Check the physical dimensions listed previously for the space required for the
instrument. As with any precision piece of laboratory equipment, it is preferable to locate
the HL-200/201 in an area where temperature and humidity are controlled to standard
conditions of 72 ± 2°F and 50 ± 5% relative humidity.
•The laminator should be located on a sturdy bench or cart capable of a 200 pound load.
•It is recommended that access be provided for both the front and back of the machine.
•Carefully remove the Kraft paper from the laminating rolls.
•Attach an incoming airline to the male inlet fixture on the side of the cabinet.
•Set the Air Pressure Regulator at 40 PSI for initial startup.
Warning: Make sure the power source matches the requirements of the Hot Roll
Laminator machine. Damage will occur if this unit is plugged into the incorrect
power supply.
Warning: Only connect this unit to a properly sized circuit to avoid overload
problems.
•Plug the laminator into the appropriate AC circuit.
•Remove the wood blocks between the laminating rolls. This requires the air and
electrical connections to have been made. Push the OPEN NIP button if the top Heat
Laminating Roll is in the down position and resting on the wood blocks.
•If the optional Gap Adjusters are included, use these to create a gap by threading both
lower half of the Gap Adjuster cylinders down the air cylinder shaft. Lock their position
by threading the top half of the Gap Adjuster down until it contacts the bottom half of the
Gap Adjuster.
