Do NOT adjust any cable length (i.e.: turning the ball joint or spherical rod end bearing or clevis) unless all power sources, engines, motors, etc are turned OFF.
Cables wear out. Avoid putting cables in applications where a failure to operate would cause serious injury, death, or loss of significant operator control of the machine or vehicle. Maximize cable life by using larger cable sizes, shorter lengths, few degrees of bends, low loads, minimal exposure to the elements, etc.
Use physical stops in your cable system to make it physically impossible to exceed the load rating or travel rating of the cable.
If the cable loses efficiency (i.e.: becomes difficult to move), replace the cable IMMEDIATELY.
Dirt, contaminants, temperature, moister, and cycles of use, ALL affect cable life. Avoid exposing the cable to gasoline, oil, fuels of any kind including diesel, biodiesel, water, dirt, fertilizer, road salt, and chemicals of any kind.
Do NOT attempt to remove the seals and lubricate the cable by any means.
If the cable becomes frozen, or has been frozen with moisture inside of it, the cable MUST be replaced. Do NOT attempt to thaw or dry out cables.
Do NOT remove the seals or boots provided with the cable. If damaged, kindly replace.
Do NOT attempt to modify or repair a cable.
Do NOT Paint and/ or Pressure wash the cable.
Avoid excessive cable bends. This reduces Overall cable efficiency. To get stated service life, use bending radius greater than the minimum bending radius of a particular cable.
While the cable is being installed, ensure that the inner cable is not twisted along its axis. The twist will result in excessive force on the cable and will reduce the efficiency.
Please take care of following things while general handling/ Usage.
