PART REMOVAL, REPLACEMENT & TOOL ADJUSTMENTS
The following procedures describe only the areas of the SLP which require specific maintenance
instruction. Basic disassembly procedures are not covered within the context of this manual in
order to avoid any unnecessary labor.
ADJUSTING STRAP TENSION
1. Wear safety glasses with side shields that conform to ANSI Standard Z87.1 or EN-166.
2. Always wear properly fitting protective gloves when handling strap or sharp parts.
3. Stand to one side of the tool, making sure you have maintained proper balance.
1.
Properly insert strap into the tool.
2.
Do not exceed 90 PSIG.
3.
Turn the tool on by pushing the tool’s “Tensioning Lever”.
Loosen the lock nut.
4.
Turn the needle valve or pressure adjustment screw (see
illustration) until the tool stops running.
5.
Slowly adjust the needle valve or pressure adjustment screw (see illustration) in 1/4 turn
increments until the desired tension has been achieved. Tighten the lock nut.
NOTE: Review page 5 for tool specifications on regarding strap tension levels.
Certain strap sizes could break when increasing tension. Stand to one side of the tool, out
of the way of the strap path.
If the strap breaks before the desired tension for your application is achieved, turn the
pressure adjustment screw or needle valve 1/4 turn increments (see illustration) until
desired tension is reached. If the tension level you have achieved does not properly secure
the load in your application, contact your Signode Sale Representative.
