• Curl or loosen the cable as required to ensure that there are 52 turns (+/- 0)
in the coil cable curly section.
Figure 40 Ensure that the coil cable has exactly 52 turns
•
Slide the coil cable puller through the shafts starting from the lower end until
the lower camlock assembly is resting above the coil.
Figure 41 Coil with puller through the shafts
Note: It is important that the curly cable or pull through is not twisted, as this will
change the number of turns in the curly cable. If the correct number of turns
is not present, the curly cable may stop the shafts from retracting correctly.
• Refit the lower camlock assembly to the coil top. The flats on the friction
blocks should be facing down into the coil top.

• Open the lower camlock.
