Side Of Load - Signode 4A1-114 Operation, Parts And Safety Manual

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR SIDE OF LOAD (VERTICAL)
While tensioning strap, do not rotate the tensioning handle
to
the point where it will contact the gripper release cam. This
will result in a sudden loss of strap tension. Be careful when
applying final tension, as excessive tension could cause
strap breakage. Position yourself in such a manner that strap
breakage or hands slipping off the handle will not cause a
loss of balance. Never increase the length of the tensioning
handle by any means, such as, slipping a pipe over the
handle to extend its length. If you have any questions
contact
your Signode Sales Representative.
1. Bring tensioning handle downward,
allowing the gripper to contact the lower
strap. Rotate tensioning handle back
and forth to take up
slack in strap. When
strap is snug, the
operator should
stand to the
side of the tool
and apply the
final tension
using short
tensioning
strokes.
2. Open sealer fully and center sealer jaws
of sealer over each seal. Crimp or notch
each seal the proper number of times by
bringing the top handle downward as far
as it will go.
Consult your sealer manual for the
proper number of crimps or notches
needed for your application.
3. Release tensioner from
strap by rotating
handle until it contacts
and locks into the
gripper release cam.
Remove tensioner by
twisting windlass slot
out of strap curl and
sliding tool away from
strap.
