Basic setting should take place at a temperature corresponding to the prevailing operating conditions.

The length of the pull rope changes if there is a large change in the ambient temperature. Under these conditions,
long rope lengths mean a frequent change in the basic setting.

This can be remedied by re-adjustment (Item 5) or shortening the rope length (Table 3).

A

Adjust the setting ring until the arrow tips of the
display are aligned with the marking.

Hold the fast-action clamping head tight when
doing this to prevent the pull rope from twisting
