F. Tension Cables
1.
Tension the cable by holding the cable securely to prevent it
from turning while you turn the Receiver with a hex wrench.
Be careful to protect the cable from damage while tensioning.
2.
Tension all cables to desired amount in sequence, beginning with
the center cables, moving up and down toward the top and bottom.
As you tension each cable, give it a sharp pull downward mid-span
to help set the wedges, then re-tension as necessary in the same
sequence. Be aware that the cable may move as much as 3/16”
toward the tensioning terminal as the wedges seat.
The swaging stud will be pulled into the Receiver by
rotating the Receiver clockwise.
RailFX Small Cable Gripper
As an alternative to a large cable
gripper, this small gripper will clamp
on the cable while tensioning to keep
the cable from unraveling.
