Step 2. Connect Coil Energy Absorber to End Anchorage
Connect the squared end of the Coil Energy Absorber to the small D-ring of the Cross
Arm Strap using one of the supplied carabiners.
Step 3. Attach Tensioner
Prior to attaching the Tensioner to the Coil Energy Absorber, turn both ends of the
tensioner to increase its overall length. Attach the clevis of the tensioner to the coil
energy absorber by removing the bolt from the clevis, and inserting the bolt back
through the clevis and predrilled hole in the rounded end of the coil energy
absorber (See Figure 8).
Step 4. Attach Free End of Cable To Tensioner
Determine the approximate span length of cable required. After determining the length
needed, form a thimble attachment point on the free end of the cable. Remove the bolt
from the clevis on the tensioner. Take the extra supplied thimble and form the cable in
a loop using the thimble as a guide (See Figure 9A). Wrap the cable around the
thimble ensuring there is a minimum 12" tail of cable to allow connection of the fist
grips. Insert the thimble and cable loop into the open end of the clevis, and re-install
the clevis bolt ensuring it is through the thimble (See Figure 9B). Remove excess
slack from the system by hand and attach the free end of the cable back to itself using
the supplied fist grips (See Figure 9B). Torque fist grips to 35 ft lbs. (See Figure 9C).
Step 5. Tension the System
Insert a large screwdriver, bar, etc... into the gap between the threaded rods of the
tensioner. This gap was created in Step 3 when extending the overall length of the
tensioner. Rotate the body of the tensioner which draws the ends of the tensioner
assembly towards the center of the unit, thereby tensioning the system
(See Figure 9D & 9E). To determine proper tension of the system, refer to the
HLL Sag Table (Figure 12, Page 18), and tension until proper sag is achieved.
