1. STRAP AND SEAL LOADING
Refer to the Specifications section on
page 4 to make sure the correct strap and
seal have been chosen. Insert the lead
end of the strap into the seal.
Pass the strap over the top of the package
then bring the lead end around and up
and rethread it into the seal. This will
result in creating a TOP STRAP and a
BOTTOM STRAP. They will be referred to
later in these instructions.
Bend a minimum of 2 1/2" (64mm) of the
lead end of the BOTTOM STRAP back
beneath the seal to maintain the loop.
Refer to Figure 1 to make sure the loop
has been properly formed. Hold the
BOTTOM STRAP and pull back on the
TOP STRAP to draw the loop loosely
around the package. A gentle upward
bend on the TOP STRAP will hold the loop
in place while the PRHM-34 tool is being
positioned.
