Maintain latex pump and tank area. Essential Duties: Maintaining continuous flow of secondary backing into Coater Remove wrap and roll ticket from roll. Inspect backing for holes, tears, and cuts and make sure backing is not wet. Align roll in cradle with yellow lines on the floor, making sure roll is turned in the right direction.

Push into core and lock down with T-handle locks on both sides. Raise roll. Align and run enough backing into J-box to get the seam onto the main tenter. Dispose of any scrap.
