Setting Up The Cables
===
First thing you’ll need to do is set up the cables. This is the step that takes the longest.
Once the cables are set up everything else is very fast.
➡️ Add pulley to each cable
➡️ Add 2 clamps to the end of each cable
➡️ Make a loop with the cable end and insert the end through the clamps
➡️ Make the loop smaller so that the thimble fits tightly inside the loop
➡️ Tighten the nuts on the clamps using a socket wrench
The end loop set up should look like a dog.
The bolts (legs) point down and the tail (open end of the cable) points up.
If the tail is between the dog’s legs then you did it wrong.
===
Loading Pin Set Up
===
The loading pin is what will carry all your weight for this whole home cable system. All you need is a strap or a delta quick link (optional).
➡️ Pass the strap through the weight plate hole
➡️ Thread one strap end through its own loop and you’re done.
