2.Feed Reed Switch Cable through Upright Support. (Diagram 5) Remove the bolts from the base column support (short column) and set them aside. The gasket should hang on the reed switch cable. Take the following steps to install the reed switch cable:
a.Cut the wire tie from around the reed switch cable and gently pull the cable out of the roller guard. Place the short column near the upright support so that the gasket and roller guard face the red rope.
b.Ask an assistant to hold the base column support. This lets you have both hands free to manipulate the rope and cable.
c.Securely tape the reed switch cable connector to the end of the red rope and feed the cable through the upright support (long column) as you carefully pull the rope out from the top. Tape the reed switch cable to the top of the upright support and set the rope aside for use in step 12.
Note: You may need to tip the climber onto its side if the cable disengages from the rope. A hex key is helpful in locating the cable inside the column and in pulling it through the hole at the top.
