Installing the rope system
•
After installing the drive box, move on to the rope.
Note:
It is important now to select either a 7 mm rope for short railways or a 9 mm rope
for long railways. You can see the appropriate rope diameter in the technical details on
the layout drawing.
•
The following instructions are for using a
7mm
rope.
•
Connect the tension rope with the support rope.
See illustration below.

•
Lay the complete support rope on the
bottom. Open the rope clamp on the end
and compress the plastic support parts (in
order to avoid any clearance between the
support parts) before fastening the rope
clamp again.
•
Remove the arrestor section (at the bottom
of the system).
•
Then feed in the support (lower)
rope, starting with the splice end
and work your way down from the
drive (top) to the bottom of the
system. Lubricate every third to
fifth plastic part lightly with special
grease! Do not overgrease – use
a plastic glove and put on only a
thin
lubrication grease film.
