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.
