5. Install the drive cable

1. Bring the batten in to low trim, or as close to the floor as possible, and secure it.

WARNING!

IMPROPER COUNTERWEIGHT CAN CAUSE LOAD TO FALL

MAKE SURE THAT SET IS CORRECTLY WEIGHTED BEFORE REMOVING HAND LINE

2. If the arbor is rigged with an existing hand line, make sure that the set is correctly

counterweighted and then untie the hand line from the top of the arbor. Pull the hand line
through the head block. Remove the rope lock and floor block. Leave the line attached to
the bottom of the arbor, or install a temporary hand line there for future use.

3. Strip the jacket from

one end only

of the drive cable 11 ½” inches from the end. Install a

thimble and Nicopress oval sleeve. Two 3/8” forged cable clips may also be used for this
termination if necessary by stripping 20 inches from the end of the cable.

WARNING

! IMPROPER INSTALLATION OF SLEEVES OR CLIPS CAN CAUSE

LOAD TO FALL. FOLLOW MANUFACTURERS INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING AND
INSPECTING CLIPS AND SWAGES

4. Reeve the drive cable through the head block with the terminated end offstage over the

arbor. Bring the terminated end of the drive cable down to the top of the arbor and Insert
the Arbor Link Spacer provided with the hoist through the wire rope thimble and into the
arbor top. Bolt through the arbor top with a ½-13 UNC Grade 5 hex bolt. The Arbor Link
Spacer can be identified by the two grooves turned into the part at each end. See figure 8

5. The on stage end of the drive cable should be left hanging down by the hoist.

With the

batten as close to the floor as possible,

use a tape measure to measure the distance from

the floor to the bottom of the batten. Record this number and subtract from it the height of
the batten at low trim. (It is usually desirable to make the low trim for the PowerAssist set
the same as the other battens.) Add 40 inches to this number to get dimension “A” as
seen in figure 8 and 8A. This is the distance from the top of the hoist to the center of the
eye in the cable.

Do

not

cut the cable at this location.
