Rigging concept and components
2.3 Ring cotters
Function of the ring cotter
By default, the ring cotters are "locked" to prevent them from
loosening.
For modification reasons such as altering a position or exchanging
a rigging component, it may be necessary to temporarily remove
the ring cotter and reattach it afterwards.
For this purpose proceed as follows:
1.
Unlock
Unlock the ring cotter by pushing up the front wire loop over
the straight wire shaft.
2.
Release and remove
Push down the rear wire loop until the ring cotter snaps over
the edge of the bolt and remove the ring cotter.
3.
Refit and lock
Refit the ring cotter by pushing the straight wire shaft through
the hole and pressing the front wire loop underneath the
straight wire shaft.
