Drill Posts__________________________________________________________________________

Install Adjust-A-Body® Threaded Eye Tensioner__________________________________
1. Attach the Threaded Eye tensioner to one terminating end post with a 20HTT4 Threaded Tab or 20HLE4 Lag Eye (ordered separately) or other means with the 11HBS8 screw provided. Tighten the screw with a 5/32” hex wrench. (Use the ‘I’ Drill and 5/16”-24 Tap to thread the metal post for the Threaded Tab (20HTT4) or the 15/64” drill for wood posts to insert the Lag Eye (20HLE4)		2. Screw the lock nut onto the threads. 3. Slide the body onto the cable, threaded end first, all the way to the end of the cable. 4. Turn the body by hand, onto the threads at least 6 full turns. Do not tension the cables at this point.

String the cable through the holes drilled in your intermediate posts (or other elements through which the cable passes between end posts) and through the end post where you will be installing the Push-Lock® fitting.		See illustration below — Post A is the end post to which the tensioner is attached; Post B is the end post to which the Push-Lock® fitting is to be attached.

Install Push-Lock® Threaded Eye fittings _______________________________________
1. Attach the Push-Lock® Threaded Eye to one terminating end post with a 20HTT4 Threaded Tab or 20HLE4 Lag Eye (ordered separately) or other means with the 11HBS8 screw provided. Tighten the screw with a 5/32” hex wrench. (Use the ‘I’ Drill and 5/16”-24 Tap to thread the metal post for the Threaded Tab (20HTT4) or the 15/64” drill for wood posts to insert the Lag Eye (20HLE4) 2. Pull the cable tight, and mark the cable at a point 1-1/8” from the end of the fitting opposite the eye. Cut the cable at the mark, using a cable cutter (82T13). 3. Push the cable into the hole in the fitting as far as it will go (approximately 1-1/16”). Twist the cable in the right-hand direction (with the lay of the cable) as you push it into the fitting. You will feel it slide through the jaws inside the stud. 4. Pull the cable, to set the gripping action of the Push-Lock® fitting.
5. Tension the cables: After all the cables have been installed in both end posts, tension the cables on the other end to approximately 150 lbs. per cable, by holding the cable with Cable Gripping Pliers (50TCG1) closely behind the body as you turn the body onto the threads with a 7/16” open-end wrench.

Note: Tension in sequence shown in the illustration at right, beginning with outside the cables and moving from side to side toward the center.
6. With (2) 7/16” open-end wrenches, tighten the lock nut against the body of the fitting.
