Step#2:Followthetensioner’sinstructionsonhowtoinstallthetensioner.

Step#3:Followthetensioner’sinstructionsdescribingwhentopressurizethehydraulicsystem.

CAUTION
Aircanbecometrappedinthehydraulicsystemwhenconnectinghosesandtensionerstoa
hydraulicpump.Refertothehydraulictensioner’sinstructionstodetermineifbleedingtheair
outofthehydraulicsystemisrequired.

CAUTION
Dependingontheamountofairpresentintheconnectedhosesortensioners,itmaybe
necessarytorefillthepumpwithhydraulicoil.

Step#4:Closethereleaseknobandpumptheleveruntilthetargethydraulicpressureis
reached.

Step#5:Oncethetargetpressureisreached,performthestepsrequiredbythetensioner’s
instructions.

Step#6:Torelievethehydraulicpressure,openthereleaseknobtoallowthetensionertofully
retract.Thetensionerwilltakeapproximately30secondstoretract.

Itisthebestpracticetoleavethereleaseknobintheopenpositionwhilethe
tensionerisconnectedtothepump.Eventhoughthepump’spressuregagereadsno
pressure,thetensionercanstillberetracting.

Step#1:Connectthepumptothetensionerwiththeappropriatehydraulichose.

WARNING
Checkthemaximumworkingpressuresofthehosesandtensionersconnectedtothepump.Do
notexceedthemaximumworkingpressureofthepump,hose,ortensioner.
