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
Fully Fasten: Proceed to Fully Fasten these hardware assemblies and all of the previous assem­blies that were left loosely fastened.
