Insert wire

Insert wire into hole in base cap so that an equal length protrudes from each side.

Insert wire

Bend down wire one

Bend wire down against side of base cap until a bend of 90 degrees is made.

Fit roller one

Slide first roller onto wire, this will ensure that after the second downward bend is made there is some lateral free play so that the wire does not sit to tightly against the base cap.

Fit roller one

Outward bend one

Using the pliers bend the wire outwards gripping the wire as close as possible to the roller.

Bend down wire two

Bend the second side of the wire. This can be performed by rotating the wire so that the first side points downwards then bending the second side of the wire as was done with the first.

Form second wire

Applying exactly the same method as for the first wire, form the second wire and rollers.

Form second wire

Bend wires to form outward angle

Using pliers bend wires outwards to increase grip function.

Fit base segment

Slide base segment onto central stem.

Fit base segment

Fit regular segments

Slide on the regular segments as desired and top retaining cap.

Fit regular segments

Set desired tension

Bend wires inwards to achieve desired grip tension. The further the wires are bent inwards the more tension will be required to free the grip wires from their locked position.
