Directions:

IMPORTANT: If you are retrofitting safety cables onto an armbar, remove projector from Arm Bar before attempting the retrofit.

A finished Arm Bar installation will have four safety cables installed.  One at the simulator end going straight up, one at the projector end going straight up, and two in a V from the projector end.  Below are notes on installing the two V cables from the projector end.

1. Ensure all cables and Kwik-Loc devices are properly installed.

1A) Each Arm Bar should have two independent cables in a 45 degree “V” pattern. Each cable should be attached to an anchor point on the ceiling and attached to the Arm Bar Saddle as shown below.

1B) Each Kwik-Loc device should be 12” away from any anchor points or saddle and have at least a 6” tail coming out the back of the Kwik-Loc.

Please refer to Kwik-Loc’s instructions for proper installation and engagement of the Kwik-Loc device (attached at end of document).

NOTE: If cables are not properly installed and cannot be corrected onsite, please contact Full Swing for further direction.

2) Install two wire rope clips on tail end of each Kwik-Loc device.

2A) Space the wire rope clips about 3” apart and install clips so that the base is on the long (live) end and the U-bolt is on the short (tail) end as shown below.

Every safety cable end should have this same configuration – 2 wire rope clips and a Kwik-Loc device.  So with a total of 4 cables with 2 ends each, you will repeat this configuration 8 times.

2B) Use Vise-Grips or pliers to hold the rope clip and tighten the nuts on the wire rope clip with the 3/8” socket. The nuts should be tight enough to keep the cable from slipping but please be careful to avoid damaging the cable.

There is a new cap kit to go along with the new series 3 booth design, and there are a few changes from the traditional cap kit.  The new kit is a smooth, flat black as compared to the traditional gloss wrinkled finish.

The new kit also includes pre-made corner pieces & union pieces.  This will reduce the amount of cutting required and provide a way to hide cut edges.

There are five different pieces: Corner, Union, Face, Roof, and Extended Roof.

See below for the general layout of the cap kit pieces:

Step 1

Place two FACE pieces on the wall faces.  Slide them down so they reach the floor.  On a full size A booth, you won’t need to cut the FACE pieces as they will be the correct length.  If you have a B or shorter sim, cut the top edge with shears so the FACE piece is a bit short of the roof.

Step 2

Place two FACE pieces on the roof face.  Place each FACE piece so one end is a bit short of the wall.  Then trim the other end of the FACE pieces so there is a 12″ gap in the center.

Step 3

Place two CORNER pieces in the upper left and right corners.  These are designed to slide over the FACE pieces on the wall & roof, hiding any cuts you had to make.  Secure the CORNER with double sided tape or self tapping screws using the holes provided.

Step 4

Place a UNION piece in the center of the roof face.  This piece should cover any cuts you needed to make to the FACE pieces.  The holes in the UNION can be used as hole guides if an arm bar needs to be installed.  The small hole in the center can be used for a self tapper.

Step 5

Place two ROOF pieces along the two sides of the wall/roof interface.  The ‘wiper’ should be facing down, and the ROOF piece can be pushed up against the CORNER piece.

Step 6

If an arm bar is installed, use the pre-drilled holes in the UNION as a guide for installing the arm bar.

END OF NOTE
