How To Install Balustrade System
1 - Mark out and pre-drill all posts with 4mm holes at the required spacing.
2- Insert screw eyes into all pre-drilled 4mm holes. Using a screw eye drive bit can cut down installation time.
3- Feed one of the thimbles onto the eye of the turnbuckle. (This may require some force).
4 - Feed one end of the wire onto a swage sleeve. Then continue this end of the wire through the thimble on the eye of the turnbuckle. Complete the loop by inserting the end of the wire back through the swage sleeve, leaving 2mm of protruding wire. Swage the swage sleeve two times spaced slightly apart using the HS-14CR tool on setting 3.
5 - Fix the hook end of the turnbuckle to the feed the other end of the wire rope through intermediate posts. Repeat step 4 for the other end.
6 - Tighten the tension of the wire by winding the turnbuckle.
