Reclamp the assembly in the vise on the flats of the
sleeve. Using the plug driver, a metal tube or pliers,
bend the outer strands toward the center strands
enough that the socket can be slipped over all the
strands.
NOTE:
When assembling stainless steel parts all threads must be
coated with a dry lubricant or an anti-seize lubricant to
prevent seizing.
7.
Coat the threads of the socket and sleeve with lubricant
and install the socket by twisting it over the strands of
the cable and engage the threads of the sleeve with the
socket. Tighten until four threads or fewer are visible. If
more than four threads are visible, proof load the cable
and retighten the socket fitting. (There is no specific
requirement for torque.)
8.
Inspect for proper assembly prior to loading the cable.
Strands visible through the inspection hole are your
assurance of a proper assembly.
NOTE:
The end of the rope may not be visible in the inspection
hole after loading.

Install cable on machine and adjust per instructions
shown previously in Section 5.2, Mast Chains And
