Did you read the manual about how to install the tension assembly? Are you certain you have it installed properly? If you google there are free 301 manuals to download. You need to put on the tension assembly as the directions clearly state or you will have problems.

I'm not confident enough to mess around with it beyond my two tries to reinstall it for better result. Any suggestions?
