Cable Tension - Jam Nut Adjustment
TOOLS REQUIRED FOR THIS PROCEDURE:
• 11/16" Open end wrench (2 required)
NOTE: For cables with a jam nut adjustment at one end and a roll pin adjustment at
the other end, you must perform the jam nut adjustment to correct cable
tension. Perform roll pin adjustment
if rod end adjustment does not provide
proper tension.
NOTE: Cable ends on
some equipment are covered by protective plastic caps.
Remove and replace caps
as required.
1. Using a 11/16" open end wrench, hold cable tension adjustment nut. With a
second 11/16" open end wrench, loosen cable jam nut. See Figure
6.
2. To increase cable tension, tighten cable tension adjustment nut clockwise several
turns.
To decrease tension, loosen nut counter-elockwise several turns.
3. Test cable tension (see Cable Tension Check). Deflection of 1/4" to 3/4" indicates
proper tension. If top weight plate does not rest securely against the second plate
and selector pin cannot be fully inserted, there is too much tension on the cable.
After adjustment, retest tension and selector pin fit.
4. When deflection is within limits; using an 11/16" open end wrench, hold cable
tension adjustment nut. Using a second 11/16" wrench, tighten jam nut.
5. If correct cable tension cannot be achieved, perform roll pin adjustment per Roll Pin
Adjustment section.
