Selection of accessories
There is a wide range of accessories for TU
Installation
m Choosing the right accessories is based on the
conditions that apply to each application. Choosing
the correct bracket, drum, strap, chain and other
accessories should be done in consultation with
your ExTe dealer.
SAFETY RULES
m The screws that hold the drum should be tight-
ened gently. If the screws are too tight, the shaft
may become oval and the tensioner will operate
sluggishly.
Max 7 Nm
m Never release the strap without rst cutting
the air supply as this can cause major damage to
the TU.
m The disengaging lever and drum should be
tted on opposite sides of the tensioner. This is to
avoid a loose strap being caught in the lever, which
can lead to unintended disengagement during
operation.
m When throwing or lifting a strap or chain sling,
take care in case the sling misses and comes back.
Ensure that only the person performing the lift/
throw is within range of the strap.
m Always wear gloves, a helmet and eye protection
when handling the TU.
m Be careful not to get your hands, ngers or
clothing between the band/cable/chain and load
when operating the air valve.
m Ensure that no tools have been left on the ten-
sioner when disengaging or operating the air valve.
