How It Works This simple cable tensioning system provides for an extremely “clean” look concealing the threads for adjustment internally. The Typical application is for short to medium length cable runs. Cable tensioning is easily accomplished with the use of a 3/16” hex key wrench (Allen Wrench). |

| If you have chosen hand crimping for your project the instructions below should help you with the crimping process. Please be sure to read complete instructions before proceeding. Improper installation can result in injury! If you have any questions please call before proceeding. | |||
| Step 1 - | Make sure you have all the proper equipment and parts required. Tools required are the Handy Crimp Tool (82TST20), a cable cutter, pencil, and a sharp knife. |
||
| Step 2 - | If you are using vinyl coated cable it will be necessary to strip back the coating with a sharp knife as shown below. For 1/8" cable "V" should be 1-1/2" and 1-9/16" for 3/16" cable. | ||
 |
|||
| Step 3 - | Insert stripped cable into Handy Crimp fitting and crimp 3 times as shown below. Place 3 crimps, the first 1/8" from end of fitting and two more 1/8" apart. Make sure to rotate 180 degrees for each crimp to ensure straightness of the fitting. | ||
 |
|||
| Step 4 - | Attach completed first fitting at point of beginning and run cable to the other end making sure to adjust all turnbuckles, etc. to 2/3 open position. | ||
| Step 5 - | Attach loose Handy Crimp fitting to end position and pull cable tightly along side to measure for cut as shown below | ||
 |
|||
| Step 6 - | Repeat steps #2 and 3 for this end fitting. | ||
| Step 7 - | Be sure to check all crimps with micrometer or gauge supplied with tool. Diameter as measured below should be .185 for 1/8" wire and .265 for 3/16" wire. | ||
