8. Equalization Cable Routing
A. The carriages should be resting on the same column latches for proper equalization. Ensure to
measure the height above the baseplate to each carriage. The measurement should be within 3/8"
of each other.
B. Using the diagrams, rout the equalization cables according to Figs. 6a, 6b & 6c from carriage to
carriage through the cable rollers. Cables are routed identically the same on both columns. Cable
on right is routed down and around the sheave then up and over the overhead beam. Then routed
down to the top of the carriage.
C. Secure to carriages using Hex Nuts & Washers. Ensure that cables are not crossed together.
Take out slack but DO NOT TIGHTEN CABLES AT THIS TIME.
D. After equalizations cables are routed and connected to carriages, take out the slack in both cables
by turning down the nuts on top of each carriage top. Use vise grips to hold the cable end, but be
very careful not to damage the threads.
CARRIAGES MUST REMAIN AT THE SAME COLUMN LOCK HEIGHT POSITION WHILE
CABLES ARE BEING TIGHTENED. FAILURE TO DO WILL CAUSE THE CARRIAGES
SAFETY LATCHES TO BE OUT OF SYNC.
