Brake Cable and Lever Adjustments:
The remaining cable outside the black housing will shorten when the brake cable is coiled up; therefore, do not leave it attached to the launcher
when you coil it up since it will compress the springs inside the Q-Release hose connector. If you look closely at our pictures with this coiled
arrangement you will see that the other end is not attached to the brake lever, but laying underneath of it. This arrangement was for picture taking
purposes and it is better to keep the cable attached to the brake lever and remove the cable from the launcher when being stored.
When taking up slack in the brake cable, start with the slack adjustment barrel and back it out several revolutions and lock with the outer ring. If
more slack needs to be removed turn the Phillips screw beside it in and this will adjust the throw distance of the brake lever. Do not remove all the
travel out of the lever throw or you won’t be able to pull the Q-Release hose connector down to release the rocket. If even more cable slack needs
to be removed than raise the clamp-on cable stop on the Q-Release hose connector. Between these 3 adjustments you should be able to take up
any extra slack in the cable length.
If the cable is not long enough make sure the Phillips screw is mostly turned out on the lever throw. Make sure the adjustment barrel is turned all
the way inside so no slack is being taken up. Thirdly lower the position of the clamp-on cable stop on the Q-Release hose connector, which will
require less cable to reach the clamp-on cable stop.
Spray WD-40 or similar lubricate inside the brake cable housing on the side closest to the launcher will help the cable move easily inside and
keeps moisture out for longevity.
