NOTICE
To be properly positioned, the straps must be
fully horizontal with all slack removed. The
lock pin must be fully inserted through the
tensioner into the tensioner bracket, and there
must be a minimum of 1-1/2 full rotations of
strap wrapped around the tensioner. If any
one of the above conditions is not met, you
must retension the System Barrier.
NOTICE
The barrier straps should be inspected on a
regular basis. They should be replaced when
there are signs of wear. Stretching, snags,
fraying and punctures are all indications that
the straps should be replaced.
NOTICE
SHORTENING OF STRAPS.
If you need to
shorten the strap length, cut the strap using a
sharp scissors and melt the end to prevent
fraying.
NOTICE
The storage system is not intended to be
used when tensioning the straps. This will
make the tensioning of the straps more
difficult. Please refer to the operational video.
