A - Spring (2 used per tensioner)
B - Distance
Slack arm tension is maintained by a distance over coils of springs (A):- Tighten nuts for each slack arm evenly to shorten distance (B) of springs (A) to increase twine tension.
- Loosen nuts for each slack arm evenly to lengthen distance (B) of springs (A) to decrease twine tension.
Set slack arm tension to desired specification using a spring scale attached to end of arm near roller.
| Upper Slack Arm Twine Tension | Tension | 45—72 N (10—16 lb.-force) |
| Lower Slack Arm Twine Tension | Tension | 80—107 N (18—24 lb.-force) |
