Special Assembly
■ Norseman/Sta-Lok terminal assembly
In this step, the Norseman or Sta-Lok terminal is secured to the headstay and the bottom foil is secured to the headstay.
March 2001
Note: You must follow specific instructions packaged with the Norseman or
Sta-Lok terminal. The instructions below are meant as general guidelines only.
When the bottom foil is slipped onto the headstay wire, do not Loctite
the bottom connector. Push bottom foil up, closing the gap in the foils to allow more
wire to project beyond the foil.
Make sure halyard swivel and torque tube have been slipped on the foils.
Slip the washer provided with your unit onto the wire before assembly of the
Norseman or Sta-Lok fitting.
Be sure that the wire is cut cleanly.
Slide the socket head of the terminal onto the wire, open end down.
To check fit and form wires, put red Loctite
seizing.
Thread the stud onto the socket head and tighten firmly with a wrench to form wires.
Even when properly assembled, a few threads will show. Disassemble the terminal
and check to make sure strands are evenly spaced around the "wedge" and the cor-
rect amount of coring is protruding below the "wedge". Make sure no outer strands
are in the slot in the wedge.
Unit 0 MKIII
Unlay the outer stands of wire to expose the core for a
distance slightly longer than the "wedge".
Tip: In most cases you will expose the core for a
distance much greater than the length of the core.
This is okay.
Slip the "wedge" over the core, narrow end first, until
the core protrudes beyond the "wedge": Norseman 1
to 2 times the cable diameter Sta-Lok
Reform the wire around the "wedge" using care to keep
the "wedge" in position with core protruding as directed
above. Slip the socket down the cable and over the
"wedge" to prevent the cable from unlaying.
Check to see strands are evenly spaced around
the "wedge" and none are in the slot.
On Sta-Lok terminals insert the "former" into the
threaded stud. Norseman fittings do not use a "former".
