1. Remove the closing flange nut. | 2. Remove the base pad (if required) and fix the cleat to support structure using either the single central or two outer fixing positions. | 3. Replace the appropriate pad and install the cables. | 4. Close the hinged arm and refit the flange nut (18mm socket required). The head of the screw is held in position so that only a single power tool is required to tighten the nut from one side. |
Important. Do not over tighten the cleat. The liner should be in contact with the cable but does not need to be so tight that the cable bulges at either side of the liner.
