Note:
If you have trouble inserting the cable into the fitting, it may be
because the locking wedges have become stuck. This is not a defect!
Here’s what you can do to “free the wedges” —
For Pull-Lock
®
or Push-Lock
®
fittings for 1/8” cable, using either an
PL-KEY or 1/4” diameter bolt, insert the PL-KEY or bolt into the hole and
press until the wedges move freely. Perform the same operation for a 3/16”
Pull-Lock
®
or Push-Lock
®
, except use a 16d nail or another tool with 1/8” or
smaller diameter. Anything larger than what is recommended can actually
get stuck inside the fitting – NOT what you want!
