Step 1: Disassembly
|
To dissemble, start with the turnbuckle
and unscrew the cable end or ends, then unscrew the
jaw or termination stud from the other end of the
turnbuckle. (this may be done at the same time by
turning the body of the turnbuckle and holding the
ends).
|
Step 2: Installation and Reassembly
|
now that you have the turnbuckle disassembled
you may begin the installation.
To install, take the cable end from the
turnbuckle and, starting at the last vertical of the
cable run, thread the cable through all of the vertical
posts to the other end.
Attach the jaw to the vertical or pass
the threaded termination stud through the vertical
(depending on the type of termination hardware).
Now take the turnbuckle body in hand
and holding it between the cable end and the termination
stud or jaw begin threading both ends into the body
simultaneously (end fittings must be evenly installed).
Continue to turn until tension is felt
Make sure cable is through all verticals
properly and is not caught or pinched.
|
Step 3: Tensioning
|
Continue turning the turnbuckle body
until cable is properly tensioned to no more than
20% of cable breaking strength. This can be done with
a gauge or by feel. See tensioning
and termination for more.

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 Hayn
Handy Crimp Tool (Nicopress #64cgmp), 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. Diameter as measured below should be .185
for 1/8" wire and .265 for 3/16" wire. |
