INSTALLATION - CONTROL CABLE
NOTE
Control cables are precision equipment and should be handled with
care. They should not be bent sharply, twisted, or forced into position.
They should be allowed to adjust themselves to a given installation and
worked into position rather than forced.
UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS
The control cable is shipped in a figure 8 shape with sufficient number of layers to take care of its length. The whole
package should be lifted out and laid on a smooth open surface. Cut the restraining ropes and, holding the top end, walk
away from the package until the cable is straightened out. The cable should unfold smoothly and evenly. However, if a
kink or loop develops, stop and uncoil this section.
When the control is out straight, lift one end up about 4 feet and walk along handing the cable through your hands, keeping
it about 4 feet off the deck, until the other end is reached. This removes internal twists and gives the cable full flexibility.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Never force cable into any position. Let it take its natural shape by shaking it gently before and during operation. Be sure
not to bend flexible parts of cable where it joins the rigid end fitting. Allow an inch or more to remain straight before
starting bend. When installing articulator fittings, DO NOT twist end rod.
