attaching the ropes. Pull the cover back
until the sliders are against the guides. Pull
the ropes tight as they come off the pulleys
on the mechanism to eliminate the slack in
the rope.

30
Connect the bonding wire that is attached to
the front corner of the cover to the leading
edge tube by first securing a bonding lug to
the bar, using the 10 - 32 x 1" screw (34) and
10-32 nylock nut provided (42). Then, insert
and tighten the bond wire in the bonding
lug. Do this on both sides of the leading edge
tube.
33
While pulling both ropes tight, use a lighter
or torch to burn the rope in the location it will
be cut. This will help them not fray after they
have been cut. Cut the ropes so they are at
least 8 ft long. Use the lighter to burn the cut
ends of the rope if needed.

The attached ropes will look like this.
