Assembly
Norseman/Sta-Lok
Instructions:
®
For installations where there is a Norseman or Sta-Lok
recess the top connector only 1" (25 mm) into the top foil.
April 2004
See details on pages 12, 13 and 14 for cutting the
top foil to length. Do not confuse the top foil with
the special bottom foil.
Check the top foil for burrs or shavings at the cut end.
Remove and save the red stud protector for use later.
Slide the top foil extrusion over the swage stud and
connectors, to the top of the stay. The screw hole on
top foil must face the bottom of the stay.
Tip: Do not force the foil over the connectors. If you feel resistance,
check the foil and connectors carefully for burrs and dirt. The best
way to see dirt or burrs is to look into the foil while pointing it towards
a light source. Be sure that the connectors are spaced with enough
room to align properly inside the foil section.
Coat the top connector with red Loctite
wedge in the indentation with the circular mold mark
towards the connector and push the connector into the
top foil until it is recessed about 4" (100 mm).
Note: If the top foil is less than 12" (305 mm) ignore
this step. The connector used to join the top foil
serves as the bushing.
Tip: This connector must be recessed sufficiently to allow the foils to
ride over the shank of the swage fitting at the top of the wire. Use your
screwdriver to compare the depth of the recess to the length of the
swage shank.
Use Instant Adhesive to secure the trim cap to the
roughened surface of the top of the foil.
Rod Instructions
eye,
The curves in the rod may make it difficult to slide extrusions
®
over the connectors. The straighter the rod can be held, the
more easily foils will pass over the connectors. Check to see if
the shank of the rod fitting on your stay will fit into the top foil.
If it does, recess the top connector as far as needed to clear
the shank of the terminal. If it does not fit into the top foil,
recess the top connector 1" (25 mm).
