3.6 Tensioning The Blade
Before tensioning the blade, check the air pressure gauge to see that the air tension system is
properly charged. The gauge should read 50 PSI, i.e. .34 MPa (yellow colour) with the blade tension
completely released. To add air pressure attach an air pump to the air valve. Add air until the gauge
reads 50 PSI. To release air, push in the valve stem.
See Figure 3-6.
To tension the blade use the tension handle, when the ball valve handle is in “1” working position.
To release, shift the ball valve handle in “0” loosing position. The blade tension handle should be
placed in the handle grip when not used.
