See Figure 12 for a typical installation of a cable guide. Some cable guides utilize rung spacers and clamp plates while
others do not (see Figure 12). Install the cable guide using the hardware provided. Do not substitute other fasteners.
Torque fasteners to 20-25 ft-lb. (27-34 N-m).

TENSIONING THE SYSTEM:
; Depending on the length of the system, and the environment in which the system is installed, it may be
necessary to periodically re-tension the system. Extreme temperature ranges and very long systems will likely
require periodic re-tensioning.
Carrier Cable Tension Adjustment:
1.
See Figure 10. Thread tensioning nut (A) onto the end of the tension rod (B) so that 3-5 threads are exposed below
the nut. Insert cable into saddle clamps (C). Lift up on tensioner assembly until tensioning nut bottoms out on bottom
washer (D). Tighten saddle clamp nuts and torque to 35 ft-lb. (47.5 N-m). Tighten tensioning nut until groove (E)
is exposed above top bracket. Tighten jam nut (F) against tensioning nut. Cut off excess cable just below the lower
saddle clip.
4.0 IDENTIFICATION AND INSPECTION AFTER SYSTEM INSTALLATION:
A.
