STRINGING THE FRAME
As tension is applied to the string, the 4 Tension
Indicator LEDs on the Control Panel will progres-
sively fl ash until all 4 are lit indicating that the
set tension has been reached. The 4 LEDs will
remain lit and the Gripper will continue to pull
to maintain the set tension in the string until the
string is clamped off and the tension is released.
To release the string after clamping, press the
Tension Lever Switch or Foot Pedal Switch. If the
String Gripper does not release the string, push
the gripper plates to the right to help disengage
and release the string from the Gripper Plates
NOTE: The tensioner has a built in safety that will shut down the motor if
a string is not released within 60 seconds from the time the tensioner is
activated. After 30 seconds, an alarm will sound and a 30 second count-
down will begin on the display. An alarm will sound again at 20 seconds
and at every second from 10 until zero. After 60 seconds, the motor will
stop pulling, the alarm will sound in a series of beeps and the 4 Tension
Indicator LEDs will begin to fl ash until the string is released. To release
the string, press the Tension Lever Switch or Foot Pedal Switch. Note that
after the motor is shut down, the set tension in the string will no longer be
maintained.
