5. Operating instructions
5.1 Attaching the tensioning straps
These tensioning straps may only be used to wrap or bundle objects. They are not suitable as tie-downs for a load since they
are only fitted with a clamping lock.
Wrap the strap around the objects. Make sure that the strap is not twisted. To close the strap, push the lever on the top of the lock
down and guide the loose end of the strap, from below, through the lock. Then release the lever. Tension the strap by holding the
part with the clamping lock in one hand and use the other hand to pull the loose section in the opposite direction through the lock.
Release the tensioning strap by pushing down on the lever and holding. Pull the loose end out of the lock.
