Tab Set Up & Fine Tune
Single tab applicationPlace only one Tab Liner into one of the Tractor Head, if you switch tabbing from dual
to single, remove undesired Tab Liner from the corresponding Tractor Head. Turn off
then back on to initialize the sensors. The DT-900 will detect only one tab liner

to be dispensed.
