To replace the pull-out cable, you should make sure the spring is unwound for
your own safety! Please adhere to the following instruction:
1. carefully pull on the cable stopper until the click of the notches have faded,
you immediately notice a pull on the cable stopper in the opposite direction.
2. let the coil run back slowly and count the number of turns. This is important
to adjust later the exact preload on the spring again, without damage to coil
or spiral spring. In the end the coil should be able to move freely.

cable

•
Hold the stopper outside the housing and hold it with one hand. Now turn the coil
as often as you counted. At the end let it snap into the notches. (see "LOCKING
DEVICE")
