Installation of Strap Bars and Concave Attachment
To place the strap bar attachment on the Lectro-Truck, stand in front of the machine with the strap bar in
your hands. Holding the front of the strap bar diagonally, put the strap bar "ears" inside the Inner Frame,
and turn the strap bar until it is parallel to the toe plate. The strap bar should turn on with just enough
resistance to hold it in place on the Inner Frame. Your strap bar can be moved to any position on the
frame by turning the strap bar at a 45-degree angle until it disengages. Remove it completely from the
frame, reposition it, and turn it back onto the Inner Frame.
Placement of your strap bars on the unit depends on the load. On loads 3' or taller, two strap bars
should always be used; one near the top of the load, and the other near the bottom of the load. The top
strap secures the load to the unit and the bottom strap prevents the load from sliding off of the toe plate.
On low standing loads you will only need to use one strap bar. To use the concave strap bar, position it
so that it is used as the top strap bar. Another strap bar should be used lower on the load so that it does
not slide off the toe plate.
To Adjust the Tension of the Strap Bar:
a. Remove the strap bar from the Lectro-Truck.
b. Lay the strap bar on a flat surface with the "ears" of the strap bar up.
c. Using a 7/16" wrench, loosen the nut on the rubber bumper.
•
If the strap bar is too tight: Turn the bumper clockwise to decrease tension.
•
If the strap bar is too loose: Turn the bumper counterclockwise to increase tension.
d. Tighten the nut on the rubber bumper.
e. Test the tension of the strap bar on the Lectro-Truck.
NOTE
Keep the bottom strap bar (or concave attachment) about 2" above the motor box.
The strap is secured and tightened by the cam and toggle on the strap bar or concave attachment.
When the cam lever is pointing at you it is open and you can thread the strap through until your load is
secured. To lock the load, move the cam to the right, (Figure 3). Further tightening is achieved by
closing the toggle, after the cam is locked (Figure 4).
