OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
!
!
Wear safety glasses which conform to American National Safety Institute Standard Z87.1 or Euro Norm 166.
!
!
Stand to one side of the strap while tensioning. Make sure all bystanders are clear before proceeding.
!
!
Do not pull the tension handle to the rear while tensioning so as to contact the gripper cam. Doing so will cause the tensioned
strap to release.
!
!
Failure to follow the above could result in serious personal injury.
1.
Place the strap around the package. Squeeze the tension
handle (1) against the tensioner frame (2), thus raising the
gripper (23). Insert the bottom strap between the
tensioner frame and under the cutter sleeve (7), also
between the gripper plug (20), and the gripper. Leave
approximately 3 inches of strap protruding from the front
end of the tool and release the tension handle (1).
2.
Slide the top strap through the strap slots in the cutter
sleeve (7), and windlass (4). The strap is ready to be
tensioned.
3.
Stand to one side of the strap line and, while guiding the
strap and tool, operate the tension handle (1), back and
forth until the desired tension level is achieved.
4.
When the desired tension is achieved, place the tension
handle in a rest position and
fit an open seal over
the top and bottom
straps.
5.
Using the D-504 or D-506 sealer (A), with the handles (B),
in the fully open position, crimp the seal by placing the
jaws of the sealer over the seal and pushing the handles
together.
6.
Fully squeeze the tension handle against the tensioner
frame, thus cutting the strap at the seal. While squeezing
the handle, slide the tool away from the completed tie.
NEVER HANDLE OR SHIP ANY LOAD WITH
IMPROPERLY FORMED JOINTS. Misformed joints may
not secure the load could cause serious personal injury.
Follow the joint inspection procedures in each sealer’s
manual.
