sheathing and passes through only the small
ring%
") The white loop passes through the end fitting
on the cable housing without twisting%
') Nothing passes through the white loop except
the yellow release cable%
()The release handle is securely mated to the
harness# and little or no cable is visible
between the handle and the cable housings%
)) There should be a minimum of (%(” up to a
maximum of *” of cable past the cable housing
end%
The " views at right show a correctly built "!Ring
riser attached to the harness ring and put under
moderate tension% Note the following:
$) The rings overlap each other and maintain
metal!to!metal contact between each other%
&)The rings are aligned in parallel planes%
") The smallest ring is not pulled snug against the
grommet and the white loop is long enough to
give it some play%
') The white locking loop goes straight down
through the center of the riser grommet on its
way to the cable housing end fitting; it does
not extend past the edge of the grommet hole
and then turn back upwards towards the hole%
IMPORTANT:
If your riser configuration does not
match these illustrations# the "!Ring release
might not function correctly% You should contact
