Assembly Clamping Torsion Cable to Head Swivel Terminal
IMPORTANT! - Wait to cut the torsion cable to length until you have clamped the cable to the head swivel. Plan on
a length check with drive unit as you build the tack terminal.
6. Continue to tighten the four (4) corner
fasteners until the gap between the clamp
halves is around 5 mm (3/16"). Now tighten
the two center fasteners until snug.
7. Remove each of the long corner fasteners
and replace with a short fastener using blue
Loctite.
5. Gradually tighten each of the four (4)
corner fasteners, alternating to maintain a
relatively even gap between clamp halves.
When the gap is about 8 mm (5/16"), locate
two (2) of the short fasteners supplied (M5
X 16 mm). Apply blue Loctite and thread
the fasteners into the two remaining screw
locations. It is not necessary to tighten these
at this time.
8. Gradually tighten all fasteners, alternating
to maintain a relatively even gap between the
clamp halves. Assembly is complete when
all fasteners achieve a maximum torque of
5.6 Nm 50 in-lb (5.6 Nm). The gap between
the clamp halves should be even and nearly
closed.
