3.4.5 Steel cables tightening up
After positioning the steel cables tighten them up by applying the process described for the rear guide pulleys in order to
make a proper sliding of the covering possible.
As a matter of fact, the rear guide pulleys have been developed and manufactured with the aim to allow the operator steel
cable tension adjustments.
Operating alternately on the two guide pulleys proceed as follows:
•
Use a 7 Nm torque wrench to tighten the screw placed on the front side (2) of
the guide pulley.
As a consequence, the guide pulley and the slide move backwards tightening up
the steel cable.
WARNING!
The left and right-hand ropes must be given the same amount of tensioning. The drive pulley is
designed with a V-shaped groove to prevent slipping and therefore does not require excessive
tensioning.
•
When the required tension is achieved block the guide pulley tightening the central screw (1);
•
Repeat the operation on the opposite guide pulley.
WARNING!
During the installing activities of the steel cable the use of suitable protective gloves is mandatory in
order to avoid any injury to hands due to a possible fraying of the steel cable mesh.
IMPORTANT!
Once terminated this operation
make sure that the bow is perpendicular to the side board and at
equal distance from the tailgate
. If not, operate consequently on the tensioning device of the steel
cable or, if necessary, proceed to block it.
