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.
2. Slide the heat-shrink tubing onto the
cable. Assemble the clamp halves near the
cable end using four (4) longer screws
threaded into the corner holes. Turn several
turns as shown and leave enough space to
load the cable end.
3. Insert the end of the cable through
thimble at the head swivel and position it at
the desired location on the cable. Slide the
clamp assembly over the end of the cable
as shown. Tip: Secure the head swivel in a
vise when building the terminal to hold it
in place.
1. Locate the clamp halves and the long
fasteners (M5 X 25 mm) as shown. Cut the
supplied heat-shrink tubing in half.
4. Push the clamp assembly toward the
thimble. Squeeze the torsion cable at the
thimble. Position clamp about 10 mm (3/8")
from the thimble as shown. Make the tail of
the cable about 90 mm (3.5") beyond the
clamp.
