a. The locking mechanism should be at its starting
point, closest to the spring. Proper starting point
can be seen in Fig 15. The bolt can be turned
counterclockwise to get it to the correct starting
point if needed.
b. Feed the excess cable from each post into the
locker mechanisms (Fig. 15). Make sure the cable is
rounding the last turn of the guide by looking down
the post (Fig. 16). Place locker mechanism into the
channel of the top beam as close to the post as
possible.
NOTE:
If snap ring is not present and tensioner is
separated into 3 pieces. Simply line the pieces
back up as shown and thread cable as instructed.
Initial tensioning will secure the tensioner.
9.
Pre-tension cable on guide A and B by pulling as much
slack through the locker by hand (Fig. 17). Make sure
the cable is rounding the last turn of the guide by
looking down the post (Fig. 16).
NOTE:
THIS STEP IS CRUCIAL TO ATTAIN PROPER
FINISHED TENSION. PULL HARD.
Wearing a glove may help while pre-tensioning. Ensure
that the cable is centered in the cable guide while
pulling tight (Fig. 16).
10.
Use an impact driver or power drill tighten the
tensioners. Use a
the end of the locker (Fig. 18a). Do this for both
lockers at each post until spring is no longer visible
(Fig. 18b) (Initial tensioning complete). Complete
this step for all sections.
11.
Final tensioning. Push down on top row of cable
firmly. The spring near cable guide A should be
visible once again. Using your drill and
tension the bolt until spring is no longer visible
(Fig 18c). Complete same procedure for cable
guide B, but instead, push on bottom row of cable
to loosen spring.
