GREENBRIDGE SP3100 Pneumatic Tensioner for Steel Strapping Instruction Manual
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The tool must be used by properly trained people. Failure to follow the
operating instructions or improper use could cause strap breakage, injuries,
or package damages.
Check tool daily, do not use tool with worn or damaged parts. Use original
spare parts for replacement. Never modify any tool part.
Do not put fingers, hands or other body parts between the strap and package
during the cycle.
It is your responsibility to check the seal joints made by your tool. Training
about the weld time adjustment will be useful to check the seal quality in
order to avoid severe injury. Never move goods with bad quality seals. Only
use specific strap dispenser to dispense the strap. Keep your working area
clean and always use the tool in good balance and safety conditions. Never use
straps as a means of pulling or lifting goods.
Always use a proper safety strap cutter and keep other people and yourself at
a safe distance from strap, always stand to side of strap, away from direction
of strap trajectory once cut. Hold the upper strap portion and pay attention
that the lower strap will snap forward away from you.
Improper operation, excessive tensioning, use of non-recommended strap, or
sharp corners on the package could cause a loss of strap tension and/or strap
breakage that could lead to packaging failure or injury. The following is
recommended; use edge protectors if package has sharp corners, place the strap
correctly around a properly positioned package, stand in safety position (on
one side of strap) during strapping cycle, and use the correct strap quality,
width, thickness, and break strength as recommended in this manual.
Please save this manual, as it is a part of the tool. This tool is
manufactured without any substances which could be dangerous to health.
National instructions must be observed for disposal of all the parts.

INSTALLATION
It is recommended to always use a dryer unit near the compressor and a filter- regulator-lubricator unit with pressure gauge (Polychem part # 200-0025) close to the tool air connection to avoid water and dirt in the valves or in the pneumatic motors. Connect the tool to air with quick connector ¼” and use minimum 8mm or 3/8” internal diameter pipe; max length for flexible pipe 10 m between tool and regulator group. Check that your compressor / air distribution plant is able to supply the right air quantity as shown in the operation manual without losing pressure.
OPERATING ELEMENTS AND ADJUSTMENTS
Adjusting Strap Tension
The maximum strap tension can be adjusted with a screwdriver by turning the
screw as shown in pic.A, on pneumatic motor. Turning clockwise the tension
will be decreased; turning counter clockwise the tension will be increased.
Feed Wheel Gap Adjustment
It is possible to adjust the gap of the feed-wheel in order to change the feed wheel pressure on the strap; First unscrew the locking screw (pic.B1) then turn the regulation screw so that the standard feed-wheel gap is 0.1-0.2mm (0.0039”-0.0078”).Turning the screw clockwise will decrease the gap, and turning the screw counter clockwise will increase the gap (pic.B2), after adjusting the gap tighten the locking screw (pic.B1).
OPERATION
Make the strap slip into the seal and wrap it up around the package; then make
strap bottom pass a second time into the seal and bend it (pic.C1); push
opening lever to open the tool and then insert top strap (pic.C2), press
tensioning button (for choke collar model turn it in clockwise) to tighten
strap and hold it until tension is done (pic.C3); When tension is complete use
the SP6100 series tool to seal the strap (pic.C4); after the strap is sealed
move the tool up and down until the strap is cut off (pic.C5).
Then check to make sure the seal is sufficient (fig. C6)
