TABLE 9-9.1. CONTROL CABLE HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
DESCRIPTION
Control cables are precision control devices for transmitting push-pull movement. Because they are precision controls,
precautions must be observed in their handling and installation if they are to function properly.
HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
Handle the assembly by outer housing only and not by rod ends.
Use care when tightening outer housing jam nuts to avoid twisting housing.
Use wrench on end rod flats whenever tightening or loosening jam nut or coupling to prevent twisting the inner core.
The control is quite flexible in one plane but when making a bend into another plane the control must be gently formed into
position to give the internal parts a chance to adjust for the new direction. Tapping lightly with the hand or a rawhide mallet
will help the internal parts to align themselves.
Before connecting the control ends, stroke control several times to allow the internal components to align themselves.
Do not use force or bend sharply, but form easily into position.
NOTE.
1. Store stock controls in standard figure 8 coils, preferably in their containers as received. If unpacked,
hang on wall.
2. Do not attempt to force oil into the control.
3. Thread engagement at bearing, coupling, or center control rod should be at least 3/84nch for strength
and safety.
4. Keep jam nuts tight at all times to prevent vibration and wear.
