Can you get the cable around the pulley if the hook pin is pulled for cables that have too big of an end on them?

Hi Dawn, I purchased ome of these pulleys last year. If I understand your question correctly, the answer is yes. The pulley frame has a pin which holds the hook in place. The pin is retained by a cotter pin. Removing the cotter pin allows you to detach the hook and insert the pulley onto the middle of your cable and avoids having to thread the entire length. Check the diameter of your cable to ensure that it is compatible with the intended pulley. Regards, George

when you pull the pin the hook comes off and you wrap the cable around it and put the pin back in. What end is on the cable does not matter. Just make sure the pulley is rated for the size cable. don't use a small pulley on a larger cable.

Probably the best thing to do is go to a hardware store taking the measurement of the opening of the hook and ask someone there. Since the equipment was all in the kit we didn't pay attention to the size of anything.

Measure the other (non handle) end of the cable from the catch to the S hook. The rest of the cable is universal, unless you own a lazy boy. Mine is 5.5 inches with a spring installed. So this was the right cable for me.

Check the belt first. It might be broken or just dried out and slipping on the pulley. Next, check to make sure your cable is ok. You might need to adjust it to get the belt to engage.

I just tried and was unable. The top hook is 1 & 1/8" wide at the widest point. Making a loop with a piece of rope, mentioned in another answer, would be a great idea though!

I actually used a 1/8'' piece of cable with mine. However you should be able to use a 1/2" piece of rope. I am not sure but 3/8 would either be the max on size or perhaps to large. Hope this helps.

No problem like this. But, check if the the cable to the far pulley has popped off the pulley and is binding between the pulley side and the metal bracket. I did have this occur when there was no load on cable. It could cause the motor to overload, if the binding is severe.

Yes both cables are supposed to be the same length, the single is a different length than the two that connect to the pulleys.

Haven't needed to do this. Here's my guess. First, just install it and try it. Maybe it will work at that short distance. If it doesn't, just pull at least two feet of each line thru its hole in the cross bar, and tie a new knot. The system will "think" you've pulled the pull bar two or more feet. When you actually pull the bar 11 feet, the system will "think" you've pulled the bar 13 feet and should work. Good luck. Try at your own risk.

hi , i have a large swaging tool . but , you can also solder your stranded wire leads into each connector . this allows you to un-solder the connection if you need to make any changes . hope that this helps . by the way , dont forget to apply anti corrosive electrical grease on all mating connector ends .tom

You can probably find a pin that will work but the connection will be so loose that it won't be usable.

Check to make sure the cable is around the pulley. Also, you can push down on one side of the stepper and pull the other side up, this should raise the side you are pulling on.

The cable has a weather tight fitting that unscrews. I think it is probably about an inch in diameter, if I recall.

Hi, I apologize for taking so long to respond. The instructions that came with the tool says it will fit the pulley in your question.

The trick is to pull down both hooks at the same time. Make sure the rope is in the center groove on all pulleys and pull down while letting out the rope. THis YouTube video might help: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyN4oJlCQpI

The only place I used cable ties was on the patch panel in the rack to hold the cables straight out of the back of the jack. I don't believe they are required, however I am not a professional certified installer. The ones I used were real small 2 - 3 inches, used just to secure the cable to the rack so if it ever was pulled, it would not come out of the jack as easy.

Pull from the bottom, it takes quite a bit of force so be careful not to tug the front I/O cables.
