Mounting
1. Loosen the 3 Allen set screws using an Allen key AF3 (for 4mm ropes) or AF4 (for 6 mm
ropes). Note: The set screws have got a clamping coating in order to prevent accidental
loosening. Thus an increased torque might be necessary to loosen them.
2. Remove released rope from the weight.
3. Measure off new rope length.
4. Wrap adhesive tape around the rope at the point to be shortened to prevent it from
fanning out.
5. Saw off the rope at a right angle or cut it off with a bolt cutter.
6. Insert the rope completely into the weight: rope 4 mm (0.16 in): 60 mm (2.4 in) deep;
rope 6 mm (0.24 in): 80 mm (3.2 in) deep.
7. Screw the set screws into place. Due to the clamping coating of the setscrews application
of a screw locking fluid is not necessary. Torque: rope 4 mm (0.16 in): 5 Nm (3.7 lbf ft);
rope 6 mm (0.24 in): 15 Nm (11 lbf ft).
