3.00 Twist cap on WEDGE-GRIP
TM
Dead-end just
until wedges are loose and separated enough
to insert the cable (Figure 2). Be careful not to
twist the cap completely off the housing.
4.00 Slide cable through the hole in the tree.
Note: We recommend the limbs of the tree be
pulled inward before the installation of the
cabling system (Cable + WEDGE-GRIP
Dead-end).
5.00 Slide WEDGE-GRIP Dead-end over cable so
the retaining plug is pushed through. (Figures
3 and 4). Be sure to face the cap away from
the tree. Note: Cap is marked with text –
“Opposite End Toward Tree”
FIGURE 2
6.00 Position WEDGE-GRIP Dead-end against
the tree and pull on cable to tension as
required (Figure 5).
6.01 The WEDGE-GRIP Dead-end must
be properly positioned in-line with the
cable path.
For proper dead-end function to occur,
verify that the cable is centered between
wedges, and that wedge end faces are
ush with each other.
8.00 Hand tighten cap on WEDGE-GRIP Dead-
end and trim excess cable off as required.
9.00 In order for the wedges to seat properly, the
cable should be taut after installation.
FIGURE 4
NOTE: If less tension is desired after initial
installation, follow this procedure:
Remove cable tension at WEDGE-
GRIP housing creating a gap between
the WEDGE-GRIP and the tree, twist
open the cap and tap the housing
toward the tree, until the wedges
are loose. Then slide the cable back
through the WEDGE-GRIP Dead-end
until the proper tension is achieved.
