3.5 ADDING THE A-FRAMES
Position the a frames by laying them on
the ground an start threading the slackline
through the desired slot to achieve the
desired setup height (image 7).
IMPORTANT! Make sure that the ratchet is
placed between the ground screw and the a
-frame, so that the ratchet is outside the area
of usage (also see image 13).
3.6 TENSIONING THE SLACKLINE
Thread the slackline through the slot of the
ratchet facing up (image 8) and pull through
the excess webbing till there is as much ten-
sion on the line that is possible by hand
(image 9).
Release lever "A" of the ratchet and open up
the ratchet lever handle for tensioning.
Hold excess webbing and line firmly together
to avoid the pre tension from releasing (image
10).
Start tensioning the slackline by moving the
ratchet lever forth and back. (image 10)
