Shortening the rope (rope version)
CAUTION
:
When shortening a PFA rope, be sure to take extra care not to damage the PFA coating.
Methods
An angle grinder (preferably with a disc suitable for stainless steel) or
Wire cutters (suitable for piano rope Ø 6 to 9 mm).
Procedure
1. Loosen the three set screws and pull weight from the rope.
2. Grind/cut the rope to the required length, and then remove rough edges from the rope.
3. Ensure that rope strands are properly seated in the lay of the rope (i.e. no wire strands sticking outside the normal
rope profile). Make sure ALL strands are properly seated before continuing the assembly.
4. Push the weight onto the rope while simultaneously rotating it counter-clockwise around the rope. Make sure that
no rope strands are pushed out of their position in the rope and that the rope is fully inserted.
5. Re-fasten the weight by tightening the three set screws.
