Detach the cable pulley device.

8.4

Replacing U-brakes



Fit the clips of the cable pulley device to the rope of the U-brake

01

and the fastening of the U-brake

(e.g. rope anchor)

02

.

Carry out the remaining steps as described in section 8.28.1:



Actuate the cable pulley device until the entire tensile force is on the cable pulley device.



Remove the shackle of the U-brake from the loop of the rope.



Replace the U-brake and return the shackle to the loop.



Release the cable pulley device so that the tensile force is transferred to the U-brake rope.



Detach the cable pulley device.
