BRT-1 CABLE ADJUSTMENT DIAGRAM

It is imperative that you maintain the cables properly adjustment to ensure a safe and smooth operation.

Cables should be inspected and adjusted periodically to avoid any slack in the cables which would, consequently, prevent any damage to the equipment or personal injury.

CAUTION

Minor Cable Adjustment

1. Loosen the hardware that holds the Nylon Pulley (#64-Labeled D) to the Main Frame’s

(#5) pulley bracket.

2. Thread in or out the Nylon Insert Lock (#74) to give the cable proper tension.

3. Re-tighten the hardware that holds the Nylon Pulley (#64-Labeled D) to the Main Frame’s

(#5) pulley bracket to complete the cable

adjustment.

Major Cable Adjustment

1. Remove the hardware from the Nylon Pulley (#64-Labeled F).

2. By interchanging the Nylon Pulley (#64Labeled F) to the next adjustment hole within the Closed-end Adj. Double Pulley

Bracket (#33) it will make one inch cable ad-

justment.

3. Re-tighten the hardware for the Nylon Pulley (#64-Labeled F) to complete the cable adjustment.

FULLY FASTEN
