Better Packages tape dispensers and systems require minimal preventive maintenance and care. However, if you give your machine a little special attention, it will run for years at optimal levels.
The following suggested preventive maintenance schedule applies to all water-activated tape machines listed on this web site.
• Wash water brushes with mild soap; rinse well.
• Clean any accumulated tape dust with a dry brush or blower.
• Wash water tank with mild soap; rinse well.
You can watch a video to see how to wash your brushes so you can remove the glue that tends to accumulate and reduce tape moistening effectiveness:
• Clean accumulated glue from blades using a scraper. (Don’t scrape the cutting edge because the blade may become dull and need replacement.)
Caution: The blade is sharp and can cut easily, so be careful working around it.
• Apply light coating of light machine oil to back of blade.
• On Better Packages 555 models add a few drops of light machine oil to felt pads.
• Thoroughly clean all accumulated pieces of tape, tape dust and any other foreign material from inside of machine with dry brush or blower.
• Clean bottom of heaters and pressure plates of accumulated glue.
• Oil upper and lower blades lightly with light machine oil.
• Clean all covers with a damp rag.
