Setting the clamp force:
Close the drive roller assembly onto the cable as follows:
Loosen the locking handle by moving it in a counter
-
clockwise
direction. The handle can be indexed to assist in this movement.
The adjustment wheel can now be rotated to open or close the
belts. Turn the wheel clockwise to close the belts or counter
-
clockwise to open them.
When preparing the machine to insert the cable, the belts will be
fully open (adjustment wheel wound fully counter
-
clockwise). Once the
cable
has been positioned in the machine the belts must be closed on the cable in order to drive the cable. The
closed belts will also stop the cable being dragged back out of the machine by any tension in the cable.
Turn the adjustment wheel clockwise until the belts close onto the cable. The amount of pressure applied
to the cable can be adjusted by turning the adjustment wheel either clockwise or counter
-
clockwise. Once
the desired pressure has been obtained the locking handle should be tightened by turning it in a clockwise
motion. The handle can be indexed to assist in this movement.
As more experience is gained using the machine, the amount of compression required will become clear.
