WIRE ROPE REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTION (CONTINUED)
Installation of New Wire Rope:
1. Grasp anchor end of rope (not thimble) and make a crimp in gloved hand approximately three inches
from the end (try to kink rope to make a bend radius).
2. Insert the rope into the actuator up through the wear ring using right hand while seating the end crimp
into the locker with your left hand. This will involve seating the rope into the radius channel afterwards.
3. Pull down on the rope at the exit location of the actuator to seat the crimp into the locker fully.
4. Install the rope retainer plate over the rope end and install the two M8 socket head cap screws and
lockwashers. Torque hardware to fully compress lockwashers.
5. Ensure that rope is seated in radius channel and install rope gate back in the unit making sure the
rope guide (cutout) side is inserted first and the ends are sliding on guide rails freely. Fasten the rope
gate assembly together using the previously removed hardware. Torque hardware to compress
lockwashers.
6. Install (slide) the reinforcement bracket studs into channels and tighten the two 13mm flange nuts.
Next, swing circuit board bracket closed towards plate and fasten to plate using the four previously
removed socket head cap screws and lockwashers. Torque hardware to compress lockwashers.
7. Plug limit switch lead into circuit board “limits” receptacle making sure retention tab on plug is facing
you.
8. Using a clean cotton cloth wrapped around rope loosely near actuator entrance, pull down on rope and
press jog up button allowing rope to pass through cloth cleaning it as it is being wrapped onto the
drum. Continue loading rope onto drum using jog button until three drum revolutions are completed.
9. Remove screwdriver from between actuator and wear ring.
10. Install front cover onto actuator making sure all four screws are aligned with tabs before threading.
11. If using coil cord, make sure rope is inserted down through the middle of the coils.
12. Attach wire rope to handle, weighted hook, or end effector in reverse order of disassembly.
13. Reset virtual limits and/or slow down settings.
