Cobra Cable Repair Procedure 

 
1.

 

If one or more wires breaks at the end of a Cobra Cable, it should be repaired to 
prevent the strands from unraveling inside the housing and damaging the cable 
beyond repair. 

 
2.

 

The brush end is the most likely to be damaged during use, but the machine end can 
also be repaired in the same manner with the proper repair kit. 

 

3.

 

Locate the damaged area, and grind off at least 2 inches beyond the visible damage. 

 

4.

 

DO NOT USE A HACK SAW; it will cause the strands to separate. Use an abrasive 
chop saw or a grinder to cut the cable to the proper length. 

 

5.

 

The housing must be cut 2” shorter than the core. 

 

6.

 

Install the proper size repair end on the cable core (3/8” standard core or 5/16” dryer 
core). Be sure to reinstall the washer onto the end of the cable before the replacement 
end. 

 

7.

 

Tighten the collar set screws alternately a little at a time until the collar is holding the 
split end on the end of the cable securely. 

 

8.

 

The cable is now ready for testing. It should perform like new.

 

 
If you have any questions, call Air-Care at 800-322-9919.
