8. Inserting the cable
Before connecting the cable, make sure that the cable is inserted as shown in the schematic diagram.
With the GP 400 SF cable, the cable must be inserted anti-clockwise due to the direction of lay. This is important in order to be able to attach the cable clamps in the correct position.
Maintenance notes
To ensure the longevity of the cable, maintenance is required at least once a month, depending on use. The cable should be fully laid out and the following steps carried out:
- turn back any axial twists in the cable
- visually check the cable for damage
- check roller packs for free movement
- check the cable clamps
