WARNING! While tensioning strap, do not rotate the tensioning
handle to the point where it will contact the gripper release cam.
This will result in a sudden loss of strap tension. Be careful when
applying final tension, as excessive tension could cause strap
breakage. Position yourself in such a manner than strap breakage
or hands slipping off the handle will not cause a loss of balance.
Never increase the length of the tensioning handle by any means,
such as slipping a pipe over the handle to extend its length.
FOR ON TOP OF LOAD
1.
Bring tensioning handle upward, allowing the
gripper to contact the lower strap.
Rotate the tensioning handle
back and forth to take up
slack in the strap.
When strap is snug,
the operator should
kneel perpendicular to the
strap and apply the final tension
using short tensioning strokes.
2. Open sealer fully and center sealer jaws of sealer
over each seal. Crimp or notch each seal the
proper number of times by
bringing the top handle
downward as far as it will
go. Consult your sealer
manual for the proper
number of crimps or
notches needed for
your application.
3. Release tensioner from strap by
bringing handle down until the
gripper release cam locks
in tensioning handle pin.
Remove tensioner by
twisting drum slot out
of strap curl and sliding
tool away from strap.

is the same as on top of load operation. After the slack strap is
taken up, final tension is applied by short push type strokes, as
illustrated at left. Note that a tensioner is used on each strap to
ensure equal tension. The sealing operation is also the same as
for top of load use (Refer to top of load instructions).
