Graflex shutter operating states that with the curtain at O (back of the lens visible) the curtain should close and lock with the tension on 1. Lock means the wind key will not turn opposite the arrow.
With the tension set to its highest the curtain should wind and lock at the smallest aperture.
If the first condition is not met the shutter needs servicing.
If the second condition is not meet then the initial tension is too high.

Before attempting servicing increase the tension to a higher number before winding to T and find the tension at which the curtain closes properly.
