In light of recent exciting adventure in wrench turning, I have some questions about the nature of the TB tensioner, its mechanism, etc.
Here we go:
1. Is the cam mechanism in the tensioner such that a 360 turn of the tool will bring the tension back to where you started? Or is it progressive, so the more you turn it clockwise, the more tension it creates?
2. Is there anything that you need to make sure of when initially installing other than the alignment prong being in the slot in the head and the tension being off (ie the holes being to the left near the bottom)?
3. Is it a good idea to recheck the tooth and groove after you have done the manual rotations and, if it has shifted, relieve and re-tension?
Thanks for any insight.
