| Series 6502 Installation Instructions |
||
Hole sizes for 3/16" dia. cable installation: Drill and tap 5/16"-24 threaded holes on the inside of each end post. |
 |
|
| 1. Install the tensioning end first with the
Adjust-A-Body® with Threaded Bolt Tensioner by threading the short end of the bolt into the pre-tapped hole in your end post using a 7/16” open end wrench. |
||
| 2. Screw the lock nut all the way onto the 2” long threaded end of the bolt. |
||
| 3. Thread the body with the cable attached onto the threaded end of the bolt and turn half way along the threads. |
 |
|
| 4. Run the bare end of the cable through all your intermediate posts and to the end post where you will be installing the Push-Lock® fitting. |
 |
|
| 5. Start the Push-Lock® body threads into the pre-tapped post by hand. |  |
|
| 6. Thread the Push-Lock® coupler onto the post and tighten with 7/16” wrench. |
 |
|
| 7. Pull the cable tightly along the side of the fitting and mark the cable 1-3/16” from the end of the fitting opposite the post. Mark and cut the cable on your mark. |
 |
|
| 8. Push the cable into the hole in the fitting as far as it will go (approximately 1-1/16”). Twist the cable in a right hand direction as you push it into the fitting. |
 |
|
| 9. Pull the cable hard backwards by hand to set the gripping action of the Push-Lock® fitting. |
 |
|
| 10. Go to the other end and tension the cable by holding it to prevent the cable from turning while you turn the Adjust-A-Body® with a 7/16” open-end wrench. Be careful to protect the cable from damage while tensioning the Adjust-A-Body®. |
||
| 11. Turn the lock nut against the body and tighten with open-end wrenches. Leave about 1/2” of thread exposed when tight for future tensioning if needed. |
 |
|
| 12. Tension in sequence, beginning with the
outside cables and moving from side to side toward the center. |
