Spreader Bar
Indicator
Ratchet release handle
When this stage is reached, tensioning can
now begin. This is done by 'pumping' the
ratchet handle as shown in (Fig. E).
NOTE: On pre-2004 models there is no
indication of how much tension is in the
system. SpanSet recommend that only
one hand is necessary without over
exerting. Using both hands and over
exerting, or using a lever is not necessery
and at a height can be dangerous. 2004
models feature a Tension Force Indicator
on the fixed bar of the rachet. Tension as
above, until it has closed beyond the
Fig. E
250dN mark.
4. Ensure that at least 1
revolutions of the spreader bar have taken
place (Fig. E). At the same time do not
overload the spreader bars with webbing, if
this happens the webbing will jam. Should
this happen it will be necessary to release the
webbing and start the tensioning operation
again (see releasing operation).
5. When tensioning is complete, position the
ratchet in the locked position (Fig. F)
6. Finally pack away surplus webbing into the
Fig. F bag and buckle up.
Releasing the Tension and Removal
7. Release the ratchet release handle as
shown in (Fig. G).
8. Remove from anchorage and pack away
into bag.
NOTE: A neatly packed bag will aid easy
deployment when next used.
