E. Install Swageless Terminal
1.
Place lag thread into hole and drive lag thread into
wood post using drill with PL-LAG Driver on wrench flats
milled into body of fitting. Stop turning when shoulder
on fitting between lag thread and body makes contact
with wood post.
2.
Pull the cable tightly along the side of the fitting and
mark the cable 1-3/16” from the end of the fitting
opposite the post. Cut the cable on your mark.
3.
At opposite end post with tensioning terminal, detach the stud from the Receiver to allow cable slack
so you can perform the next step.
4.
Back at post with swageless terminal,
push the cable into the hole in the fitting
as far as it will go (approximately 1-1/16”).
Twist the cable in a clockwise direction as
you push it into the fitting.
Note: If you have trouble inserting the cable into the fitting, it may be because the locking wedges have become stuck. This is not a
defect! Here’s what you can do to “free the wedges” — For Pull-Lock
®
or Push-Lock
®
fittings for 1/8” cable, using either a RFXPL-KEY
or 1/4” diameter bolt, insert the RFXPL-KEY or bolt into the hole and press until the wedges move freely. Perform the same operation
for a 3/16” Pull-Lock
®
or Push-Lock
®
, except use a 16d nail or another tool with 1/8” or smaller diameter. Anything larger than what is
recommended can actually get stuck inside the fitting – NOT what you want!
