Figure 2: Pull back-direct

Step 1. Attach Fixed Cables

Attach one end of each fixed cable to the top anchor point of the speaker (such as eyebol t, track fitting, etc) usin g a
supplied shackle (Figure 1).

Step 2. Assemble Pull-Back Cable to Fixed Cable
Capture the eye of the clutch lock (at the end of the pull back cable) and one of the fixed cables with one of the selected suspension points using a supplied shackle.
(Figure 5) Repeat with the other fixed cable, suspension point and the other end of the pull back cable (Figure 4).

Step 3. Attach Pulley to the Pull-Back Cable

Using the pulley’s shackle, capture the eyebolt or fitting at the speaker’s pull back point (Figure 2).

Step 4. Adjust / Increase Slack of the tilt cable

Loosen the knurled end of the clutch lock. Com press the knurled end inward wh ile pulli ng the cable toward s the pulley until the desired length is achieved (Figure 6).

If there is no rigging point available at the back of the speaker, use a rigging point from the bottom of the speaker to connect a back chain extension (Figure 3).

Step 5. Adjust Speaker’s Tilt Angle
To increase the tilt angle of the speaker, compress the knurled end of the clutch lock then pull the pull back cable away from the pulley until the desired angle is achieved.
To decrease the tilt angle of the speak er, support the weight of the speaker while compres sing the knurled end of the clutch lock then slowly lower the speak er until the
desired tilt angle is achieved. Release the knurled end to lock in place then tighten (Figure 6). Coil the extra cable or trim cable and place a stop swage on the end.

Step 6. Secure Shackles and Clutch Lock

To prevent the screw pin of the shackles from loosening over time, secure them with a supplied tie wrap as shown in figure 8. Tape the knurled end of the clutch lock to
avoid long term loosening.
