Failure to fully tension the clamp can be caused by a variety of factors. The two
most common factors are incorrect tension pressure and problems with the grippers.
•
Check tension pressure setting on Tension Pressure Gauge of Air Controller Module.
Adjust pressure per the settings found in the "Air System Settings" page.
•
Evaluate the clamp tail dimple pattern. If elongated dimples are present, the problem
may be with the Tension Block or Front Gripper.

If a problem is indicated, follow the instructions in the "Maintenance" section to remove
and inspect the tension block assembly and the front gripper.

•
Examine the Front Gripper area for foreign debris and/ or buildup of metal shavings.
•
Ensure that the four cutter blade screws are tightened.
