10. Equalization Cable Routing
A. The carriages should be resting on the same column latches for proper equalization. Ensure to
measure the height above the baseplate to each carriage. The measurement should be within 3/8
”
of each other.
Fig. 8a Fig. 8b
B. Using the diagrams, route the equalization cables according to figs. 8a, 8b & 8c (Cable Routing
Diagram next page) from carriage to carriage through the cable rollers. Secure to carriages using
Nylon Hex Nuts & Washers. Ensure that cables are not crossed together. Take out slack but
DO
NOT TIGHTEN CABLES AT THIS TIME.
C. After equalizations cables are routed and connected to carriages, take out the slack in both cables
by turning down the nuts on top of each carriage top. Use vise grips to hold the cable end but be
very careful not to damage the threads.
NOTE: CARRIAGES MUST REMAIN AT THE SAME COLUMN LOCK HEIGHT POSITION WHILE
CABLES ARE BEING TIGHTENED. FAILURE TO DO WILL CAUSE THE CARRIAGES SAFETY
LATCHES TO BE OUT OF SYNC.
D. Alternately tighten the cable nuts at both carriages until the cables are tightened. The correct
tension in the cables are indicated by being able to pull the cables together with approximately 15
lbs. effort at midpoint in the column. If the cables are installed correctly, both carriages will raise
together.
