CAUTION ! Before connecting to the power supply, check the voltage supply switch
located on the back side of the tensioner. To change from 110 to 220 volt service
slide the switch fully to the left or to the right until “115V” or “230V” appears on the
switch plate.
Front Panel Features
The acceptable range of input voltages for the “115 V” setting is between 110 V and 120 V
@ 60 Hz and for the “230 V” setting, between 220 V and 240 V @ 50 to 60 Hz. If you have
any question regarding the input voltage supply for your area, please ask your electric
utility company. When using extension cords, use grounded heavy duty extension cords
rated for 15 AMP service.
To install the power cord, insert the female end of the power cord into the Power Cord
Socket located on the rear panel (letter C). To connect the foot pedal switch, insert the 2
pin male connector located at the end of the foot pedal switch cord into the two pin
