Holding cable guide B use a back and forth motion

to stretch the cable and work guide B towards your

adjacent post. Ensure an equal amount of excess

cable remains on both guides (Fig. 12). Be careful

not to pull all the slack into one guide. If needed you

can redistribute the slack by loosening cables in the

middle of the section and pulling excess in the direction

needed.

Slide cable guide B into the channel of the second post

ensuring that the excess cable feeds up and out of the

top of the post (Fig. 13). Ensure that both sides of the

cable panel are sitting all the way to the bottom of the

post.

Measure the distance between your posts. Subtract

and cut top beam to that length. Place the beam onto

the brackets. The larger channel of the beam will face

up and the 2 grooves on the bottom will nest with the

cable guide bracket (Fig. 14).

Slide cable guide A assembly into the post. The bracket

will be at the top and the bottom of the guide should

bottom out on the post base. The cable will slide down

the post through the open slot in the side of the post.

Make sure the excess cable exits out of the top of the

post (Fig. 11).

NOTE:

Ensure cables do not cross or tangle as the guide

is inserted into the post. If they do this is easily

corrected before initial tensioning.

Pre-tension cable on guide A and B by pulling as much

slack through the locker by hand (Fig. 17). Make sure

the cable is rounding the last turn of the guide by

looking down the post (Fig. 16). This step is crucial to

attain proper nished tension. Wearing a glove may

help while pre-tensioning. Ensure that the cable is

centered in the cable guide while pulling tight (Fig. 16).

Use an impact driver or power drill tighten the

tensioners. Use a

⁄

socket to tighten the bolt at

the end of the locker (Fig. 18a). Do this for both

lockers at each post until spring is no longer visible

(Fig. 18b) (Initial tensioning complete). Complete

this step for all sections.

Final tensioning. Push down on top row of cable

rmly. The spring near cable guide A should be

visible once again. Using your drill and
