: Suspension Cable Tensioning
Once both Tie-off assemblies are attached.
Remove
ONE
Tie-off Plate
[B]
by unbolting the 1/4-20 Bolt
[D]
. The Star
Nut
[C]
will remain in place for future use. [Fg. 9]
Loosen the Ring Pins (refer to your Nelson Manual for more information
on Ring Pins) connecting the Wing Support Arms to allow the Wings to
move slightly. [Fg.10]
Two balls are given at each of the Suspension Cable
[E]
to allow
for three length settings and to help with fit. In order to create
proper tension on the Cable you will want to use the ball setting
that provides the tightest available fit.
Begin tensioning the Suspension Cable
[E]
by locking 2nd ball
from one end of the Cable into the into the key hole of the Tie-off
Plate
[B]
still attached to a Wing Support Arm.
On the other side of the Suspension Cable
[E]
, lock the 2nd ball
in from the end into the loose Tie-off Plate
[B]
key-hole and then
re-seat the Tie-off Plate onto the open Wing Support Arm End.
This is the tightest possible setting. [Fg. 11 & 12]
If the Suspension Cable
[E]
is too tight at this setting to seat
properly, change the ball setting by one side only and re-test until
Tie-off Plate
[B]
seats over the open Wing End. [Fg. 13]
NOTE:
The Suspension Cable
[E]
ball setting on one side does
not need to be the same as the opposite side; users may find the
best fit is to use the first ball on one side and the second ball on
the other.
IMPORTANT:
The Suspension Cable
[E] MUST
be completely
taut and without slack.
