d. Attach the other end of the cable to the Cable Take-up Mechanism. To do this, first insert the
Cable Thimble into the Eye of the Cable Take-up Mechanism; then wrap the Cable around the
Thimble and install two Cable Clamps as shown. Remove as much slack as you can remove by
hand, and tighten the two cable clamps as shown.
e.
IMPORTANT - Be sure to check and tighten all four of the Cable Clamps.
f. IMPORTANT - Apply anti-seize grease to the threaded rod. If it is not applied, the threaded
rod is likely to seize to the adjustment nut when applying tension to the cable. Do not depend
on any other type of lubricant. Anti-seize grease is required - other types of lubricant will not
function properly.
g. Loosen the jam nut of the Cable Take-up Mechanism, and tighten the adjustment nut to remove
all the slack and tighten the cable.
h. Continue tightening the cable until the Brush Carriage Assembly begins to lift. The end with the
Cable Take-up Mechanism will probably lift first, so pay close attention to this end. As soon as
the Brush Carriage Assembly barely lifts, run the jam nut up against the bracket so the two nuts
are tightened firmly against the bracket. This will lock the Cable Take-up Mechanism in place.
