6. The number of wraps will be clear from the length of the cable: the shackle and
turnbuckle will only reach when the correct number of turns is on the pipe.
7. Put on shackle.
8. Wrap turnbuckle end and lead up through corner loop at back of unit.
9. Hook turnbuckle and tighten. Make sure wraps of cable on pipe are evenly wound and
tight together as you tighten turnbuckle.
10. Re-install chrome Adjuster wheel and by swinging wall front and back, stretch new
cable. Re-tighten turnbuckle.
11. Repeat above step at least a dozen times to stretch cable, tightening turnbuckle to
take up slack.
12. Keep turnbuckle tight - do not be afraid to tighten turnbuckle with new cable.
13. When cable is stretched, it is time to install the cable guard. Slip the cable guard over
the windings so that one hook is engaged with the back end of the cable. Loosen the
turnbuckle a few turns. Now hold the windings at the bottom of the pipe to keep them
from loosening, and with your other hand remove the shackle from the front loop.
Continue to hold the windings in place while you work the front end of the cable under
the other hook. Re-attach the shackle and tighten the turnbuckle. This process is
easier than it sounds as long as you don't let go of the windings. You might want to
have someone help with the shackle.
14. Make sure cable wrappings inside the guard are still tight together when you are
finished - this may involve using the hammer and wrench to tap the windings back
together after you have begun to re-tighten turnbuckle.
15. Swing wall front and back to make sure all is working and look for windings that are
spread apart.
16. Once more, tighten turnbuckles to remove any slack.
17. Tighten locking nut on turnbuckle.
18. Note: Cables can be sprayed with silicone spray to significantly increase their
life expectancy
***** PLEASE re-tighten cables each day for the first 4 days to ensure proper working. *****
