6. While standing to one side of the strap
line, rotate the valve collar clockwise to
tension strap allowing motor to stall out
at desired tension.
If for some reason the gripper will not
energize, do not try to energize using the
pawl handle, as this will result in
disengagement of the ratchet wheel.
Apply light machine oil to the pivot pin
(5), until the lever moves freely.
7. At the end of the tensioning cycle, use
sealing tool to notch or crimp seals.
8. After sealing the strap, rotate the valve
collar counterclockwise to unwind the
windlass. Note tab end of strap in
windlass. When this becomes loose, the
tool will be easily removed. The valve
collar is spring loaded to the reverse
direction so that when released, the
valve will return to neutral.
Lift the pawl handle thereby disengaging
the ratchet wheel. Then press down on
the pawl handle and rotate the tool off
the strap in a counterclockwise
direction.
