LABEL PRO 5.5H LABEL GLUER INSTRUCTIONS
Caution: READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE UNPACKING!
UNPACKING
1. Carefully unwrap two gold colored rollers packed in the folded section of the carton insert. Be careful not to
scratch or dent.
2. Remove gluer from carton& place on table with rubber feed roller facing you. Remove upper portion of gluer.
3. Install grooved roller in lower bearing notches in the movable spring controlled arms at each side of the tank.
The grooved roller fits in with its attached gear to the left side.
(Model 5.5H-FG has two smooth rollers. The bottom roller has only one gear.)
4. Install the smooth applicator roller (with two gears) in the upper bearing blocks (hook-like in shape).
The gear attached directly to the roller should be on the left side and mesh with the gear of the bottom roller.
The top roller snaps into position against the spring pressure of the lower roller.
OPERATION
1. Fill the glue tank with a water based glue/adhesive to the edge of the pour-out trough. See “Fill to Here”
lettered on the trough.
2. Place the upper portion of the gluer on the base. When done correctly you should see the smooth roller
through the opening in the upper portion. Stripper fingers should be positioned on the smooth roller.
3. Insert the label behind the rubber roller, centrally, down the inclined label ramp until resistance is felt, indicating
the label is in the feeding position.
4. Place tips of the fingers on top of the rubber roller and push away from you, through to the palm of the
hand, until label is fed past the glue roller. Use one continuous easy motion, not stopping until the label
is delivered at the front of the gluer.
CLEAN UP AND MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE
1. If using GF# 5 Glue, a special dextrin glue designed for applying labels onto paper boxes, corrugated
cartons, craft paper and envelopes, daily cleanup is not required.
A. Remove upper portion of gluer and place a wet towel over the rollers and glue tank.
B. Place lower portion of gluer, with wet towel, into the plastic bag to maintain humidity level.
C. Remove any dried glue from stripper fingers and bottom of chrome plated guide bar.
D. Clean entire gluer before holidays and weekends. See #2 below.
2. Most other adhesives should be cleaned from the gluer on a daily basis.
A. Remove upper portion of gluer and pour remaining glue/adhesive from tank.
A pouring trough is built into the tank at the rear for this purpose.
B. Wash remaining glue/adhesive from tank and rollers with water. A mixture
of alcohol and water may be needed for white resin adhesives.
C. Rollers can be easily removed for cleaning but care must be used to prevent
scratching or denting.
3. A drop of light oil on each bearing, for the rubber feed roller shaft, will result in easier operation.

TACK -- The higher the number the higher the tack. A tackier product is desired if the label has
the proper amount of adhesive, yet the corners do not adhere promptly to the substrate.
Heavier label stocks may require tackier adhesives.
*-- A product preceded by an asterisk is freeze thaw stable. If frozen in shipment and allowed
to return to room temperature, the product will not be damaged. Some slight stirring may be
required.
NOTE: GF#5 Liquid Glue requires no daily cleanup! Request Service Bulletin #5 for details,
or contact your local representative for a free sample.
