Installing the DAESSY Locking Swing-away Mount - DLSA7
Adjust the Release Cable

Background

The two cable anchors on the horizontal section of the tube should be positioned to allow some slack in the cable between them. Too little slack may make it difficult for the user to grasp the cable; too much slack makes it difficult to exert enough force to retract the locking pin. Some experimentation may be necessary.

Align the Release Cable above the Locking Pin

If the end of the Release Cable at the Cable Anchor located along the vertical section of the Right Angle Tube is not directly above the Locking Pin this Cable Anchor will need to be re-aligned. Loosen the clamping bolt in the Cable Anchor and rotate it to position the cable end directly over the Locking Pin, and slide it up or down so that the chain at the end of the cable overlaps the ring on the pin. Retighten the bolt gently enough that the Cable Anchor does not rotate by hand. Do not over-tighten the Cable Anchor clamping bolt.

Adjust the slack in the Release Cable along the horizontal section of the Right Angle Tube

Pull the Release Cable tight at the chain and check the slack in the blue fabric sleeve below the Horizontal Tube. Move the Cable Anchor nearest the bend in the Right Angle Tube to adjust this slack. There should be sufficient clearance to fit a hand between the Release Cable and the Horizontal Tube.

Connect the Release Cable to the Locking Pin and adjust the free movement

With the Locking Pin fully engaged in a pin hole and the cable pulled tight connect the ring in the Locking Pin to the closest link in the chain at the end of the Release Cable. Check that the chain is slightly loose and is not lifting the Locking Pin at all. If the Locking Pin is lifted the Cable Anchor will need to be adjusted down towards the Locking Index Clamp. If a small downward pull on the blue fabric sleeve does not disengage the Locking Pin the Cable Anchor will need to be adjusted up towards the Horizontal Tube.
