4.2 Fitting the wire terminal (or rigging screw)
1.
Stretch the Furlex wire out by hand on a flat surface.
Be careful when you open the wire coil as it may uncoil quickly.
Note: Be careful when you open the wire coil!
2. Measure the wire from the centre of the hole in the terminal end fitting. Mark the measurement WL
carefully on the wire using a marker pen. (The WL measurement was calculated in
”Table 1”
,
(Chapter 3.5.1.)
3. The wire is annealed and tapered, making it easier to fit into the extrusion.
Do not cut the wire yet.
4. Feed the wire through the luff extrusions from the top until the eye of the end fitting stops against
the top guard. Secure it in this position with adhesive tape. If the wire catches inside the extrusion,
turn it counter-clockwise until it passes the obstruction.
5. Put adhesive tape around the wire on both sides of the cutting mark to assist cutting. Check that the
measurement between the cutting mark and the bottom edge of the 1000 mm (39 3/8”) extrusion is
as shown in the following table 4.2.1.
Unscrew the socket, wedge and former from the terminal part ( or Furlex rigging screw if to be
used.)
