1. Using an Allen key, loosen the set screws at the end-of-probe weight or the clamping
sleeve of the centering disk. 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 or sleeve.
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 or sleeve.
7. Screw the set screws into place. Due to the clamping coating of the setscrews application
of a screw locking fluid is not necessary.
