ADDITIONAL ADJUSTMENTS
Handle Ends Adjustment–
All machines with a
strap and handle
Tools required: 1/8" Allen wrench, cable cutters,
utility knife
Note:
Make this adjustment only if the pulley in the
center pulley bracket has been fully adjusted to the
top of the slot and the cable requires more tension.
Note:
This adjustment is only for increasing the
cable tension because it requires shortening the
cable. One end is all that requires shortening.
1. Create slack in the cable by pulling the handle
out six to eight inches and propping the empty
load arm in the raised position.
2. Push the black rubber cover off the aluminum
coupler and slide the cover up the cable to con-
tact the pulley in the swivel arm.
3. Loosen the back of the four oval point, 1/4-20-
unc setscrews and pull the cable free.
4. Cut one inch off the cable end with cable cutters.
Note: Using any other tool may flatten or dis-
rupt the end strands so that it may be diffi-
cult to reinsert the cable into the hole of the
coupler.
5. Cut off one inch of the black outer sheath from
the end of the cable.
6. Reinsert the cable and sheath into the coupler
until all of the bare cable is in the hole.
7. Retighten the four setscrews into the threaded
holes. Tighten the setscrews equally until they
contact the cable. Then tighten each screw alter-
nately a 1/4 turn, until all are set to 85
inch/pounds.
8. Slide the black rubber cover over the coupler,
remove the prop and lower the load arm.
9. Check for proper cable tension as described in
CABLE TENSION CHECK, on page 8.
CABLE ADJUSTMENTS
CAUTION:
After making any cable adjustment, pull
the handle using a light load and have someone make
sure that the cable is not derailed from a pulley or rub-
bing on a guard (see CABLE GUARD on page 10).
INITIAL ADJUSTMENT
Center Pulley Adjustment–
All machines.
Tools required: 9/16"open or box-end wrench, 5/16"
Allen wrench
Note:
This is the primary adjustment for all
machines. If this adjustment does not remove the
excess slack, refer to ADDITIONAL ADJUST-
MENTS.
1. Using a 5/16" Allen wrench and a 9/16" open or
box-end wrench, loosen the nut holding the pul-
ley on the center pulley bracket.
2. To increase the tension, slide the pulley upward
in the slot. (To loosen the cable, lower the pul-
ley.)
3. Tighten the nut and check the tension as
described in the CABLE TENSION CHECK, on
page 8. If necessary, readjust the pulley.
