3. Pull end of old cable from drum and discard.
To Install Replacement Cable
1. To make cable installation easier, completely uncoil
new cable before proceeding. Use caution when re-
moving the cable from the package. The cable is
under tension and could strike the user. Adding a 30
degree bend about 4 inches from the drum end of
cable will facilitate it entering the drum.
2. Insert about 24 inches of cable through the guide
tube into the drum.
NOTICE
Cable should coil into the drum in a count er-
clockwise direction (Figure 17) .
Figure 17 – Coil Cable Into Drum As Shown
3. Reach inside the drum and maneuver end of cable so
that it is between the cable clamp and back plate. The
end of the cable should extend at least 3" past the
clamp.
4. Retighten the screws to clamp the cable against the
back plate and back wall of the drum.
5. Feed cable into drum.
